Thanks a lot for the info on dmailer. This is great software that made it a snap to move not just email, but bookmarks and other important files. Much appreciated!

Brilliant !!!! I had already imported my OE Mail to WLM but somehow I lost my ‘Received’ Mail from 2002. I have been fighting with it all day, until I found your solution which worked like magic.
Thanks, thanks, thanks

I tried to import messages into Windows Mail and I got this error as soon as I chose File > Import > Messages> Outlook

“Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client.

MAPI is not installed on this computer or an error occured while initializing it.”

Any ideas? I’m still trying to figure out why my emails and email settings didn’t transfer over automatically with the Windows Easy Transfer program. It worked on all of my other files and settings.

I think there is an easier way using software that can do this like Dmailer sync it allows you to synchronzie all your email data from Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail. Then you can restore that data to Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail. You can even synchronize your files and internet Bookmarks or Favorites at the same time this is helpful if you are moving computer.

Using this software will not cost you because you can do this within the free 30 day trial period.

You can download it from:

I’m not 100% sure but I remember having a similar problem with outlook express 6, I think this is a “by design” or “feature” of Outlook Express since version 5 and that Windows Mail is just a revamped name for it.

The reason? It’s probably a bug – nice workaround, though, and thanks for sharing. :)
