When Import The Folders Says Messages Cannot Be Imported From The MAPI Client
May 16, 2008
I was using Outlook (not Outlook Express) running under Windows XP on my old computer. I carefully backed up all my folders in which I keep my e-mail messages. I want to import the folders into Windows Mail running under Windows Vista on my new computer. When I try, the menu invites me to select the format I want to import e-mail from and I select Microsoft Outlook. I then get an error message saying "Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client". Of course , this means nothing to me. Can anyone help ? Does it mean that I must go out and buy a new version of Outlook ?
When I click "File - Import - Messages - Microsoft Outlook" I get the following error message: "Messages can not be imported from the MAPI client". I would also like to import my contacts.pst but am not sure what format to use. My old hard drive died. Outlook.pst; Contacts.pst; and Archive2008.pst were recovered and put on a CD. I transferred Outlook.pst and Contacts.pst to my new Vista C: drive.
I could not transfer Archive2008. It said "Can not read from source file or disk", then it goes away. I guess the earlier archives couldn't be retrieved. I am getting very frustrated. MS says to contact the computer mfg, ACER says it can't help me, call MS. MS will charge me for help. I just bought this stupid computer with Vista and nobody will help me after they have their money.
I've lost all my email messages and folders. I've tried to find in windows explorer but I couldn't. In windows XP I remember the email folders had a dbx extension. But in vista I don??t find anything.
I teach online and in OE you had a function where you could drag and drop like messages to folders instead of copying and pasting each one. Does Windows Mail have this feature? Second, all of my messages are downloading, as in OE
Is there a web page that I could use to import the folders in my Windows Mail to Outlook 2007 somewhere? I am not sure what to do with the Import feature, what to choose, etc.
Recently when logging on to my e-mail account I lost all my saved messages, the only one left were in the inbox. Now every time I log on Windows Mail generates a "Recovered Messages" folder filled with lots of empty folders and no messages.
I restored my vista OS using a system image utility provided by Alienware. It created a backup folder on the c drive with all the old files in it, including user profiles. I changed the owner of all files and folders back to my account and tried to delete it, but got the UAC messages that I need to allow administrator rights to do so. After clicking yes, I got a message that permission was denied with the only options of "Try Again" or "Cancel". After making visible all hidden files and folders, I was able to drill down to the one file I could not delete. I've used the "take ownership" steps in Vista explorer properties, and also the "takeown" dos commands, which report success that the Administrators group or my account which belongs to the administrators group, is the owner of the file, and that I have full control of it. Even so, I cannot delete this file. In DOS, I get access denied. In Explorer, I get the "you need permission to perform this action" message, with "try again" or "cancel", and it shows that my account (or administrators group, doing it that way) is the owner. It's just this one file. I was able to delete all other files and folders around this file, but just not this one.
I wonder if the folder path is so long or so nested that UAC fails to figure it out? It was in users\appdata oamingetc. Or is the file corrupt? The file is a tempory file created by one of those biometric devices when logged on with your fingerprint, and is supposed to disappear when you log off, but it seems to have remained there because of a hard boot. Is there a utility I can use that can nuke this one lone file?
I just began using Vista Home Premium (SP1 installed) 64bit and I am trying out the trial version of Microsoft Office that came on my new HP. I wanted to create a mail merge letter in Word 2007 and then email it out to a group of folks using Windows Mail version 6.0. Creating the email was easy. I then tried to select "email" from the drop down Word mail merge menu to finish it, but the email choice was grayed out. In Googling on Vista,email and Word, I get the feeling this might have something to do with a missing or otherwise unusable MAPI? I tried installing Microsoft Mail Live, but no difference in results. I have no other problems communicating across my home network or via broadband to the internet.
I have OE 5 Sent Items.dbx and Folders.dbx (from my old ME laptop) with my Windows Mail directory files on my new Vista laptop, but Sent Items won't open. When I click on it, my new WM Inbox opens instead. My old Sent Itemsfile retained its 221mb size in the move. When I open the WM program and see my Inbox, the old Sent Items aren't showing as folders on the left side.But if I search in the directory path: C driveusersmy nameApplication DateLocalMicrosoftwindows maillocal folderssent items -- it is there full size.
I have placed it there by itself, then dragged and dropped into the other sent items folder with folder.dbx -- either way, the 221mb of sent items do not appear.
i imported my videos from my digital camara and the are on there fine. i go to play them and there is no sound. what can i do? i tried making a movie but the sound was not there.
I know that you cannot select images to be imported in the Windows Photo Gallery because it is supposed to detect the recently imported photos and not import photos that have already been imported. However, my recently imported folder is always empty and when I import photos, it imports all of them. I, therefore, end up with duplicate copies. How can I make it save in the recently imported folders so I don't end up with these duplicates?
I created a project on my home computer, then saved it to my jump drive. When I went to open the project on my laptop, I have the title screens and such, but none of the pictures, music, or video clips that I had imported into the project. What can I do to save EVERYTHING from one computer to the other?
I just tried importing an mp3 and I'm receiving the message: "mp3 could not be imported. Class not registered." I don't know what this means. It's not a protected file. This isn't the first movie I've made, but this is the first time I've had a problem importing the music.
Awhile back I was given instructions on how to change the folder standard green folders to new pink folders. Well, my computer crashed out and I had to get a new hard drive. I tried to follow the instructions from the previously solved thread, but I can not find the "desktop.ini". When I go to the users folder inside my choices are Administrator and Public and I can not find the "desktop.ini" file. I have windows vista.
When I wanted to start up a website to find that my original ftp client didn't work and the hosting service was through a friend. Out of interest I got a domain name with godaddy.com and found that not only could I not connect with their ftp client but I could not connect with three other external ones. Through the course of this issue I have called godaddy.com, verizon, and dell and stil I have not been able to find the answer. Supposedely there's something on my end that is preventing me from connecting to these websites...I really need some help with this and I would be extremely grateful for serious help with this. I have running Home Premium and there's just something I can't seem to see.
I have very little knowledge about a Thin Client environment. I'd like to buy a pretty solid desktop and then buy a couple netbooks. Since the faster hard drives (SSDs) are typically quite small, like 8 GB, when in my house I think it would be cool to use the netbooks as Thin Clients and the desktop as a server. In broad terms, could that be done in Vista or even Windows 7? How?
I use PeerGuardian 2 on my XP box to keep out unwanted IPs, such as those that would drop a mess of spyware onto my computer. There isn't yet a download for a fully completed version of PG2 for Vista, but there is an RC1 out. Does anyone know what the risks are of running this version? Link to the PeerGuardian 2 client
I've the following problem when attempting to export a e-mail client certificate. The associated private key is marked as not exportable? This happens after installing the certificate regardless the authority. I tried: - Verisign: They don't know - CaCert" tried to teach me the procedure I know already but does not work. - Thawte They don't know - Commodo: they don't know.
I'm not the only person having this problem, as "same problem here" is the only and frequently response in forums of the authorities. Is there, PLEASE, :-) someone who assumes nothing but just knows what is the problem with Vista? (and a possible solution)
i have two folders in my startup menue that i want to delete:
Autostart
Verwaltung
i tried to delete them (right click > delete). but when i restart my computer the folders are there again: how can i get vista to stop renewing those damn folders.
I am running IE 7 under Vista Home Premium 64 bit with SP1. I made Yahoo my home page and want to make Yahoo Mail my default email client instead of Outlook or Windows Mail. However, when I get to the window where I can select my default programs, Yahoo is not listed. According to Yahoo Help, as long as the Yahoo Toolbar is loaded (it is), Yahoo Mail should be in the list. I've tried loading the toolbar several times, but it jes' ain't there.
On a few occasions recently , when clicking on a link to 'send us an email'(eg on a hotel website) I have got a message 'email client not properly installed'
I've had no luck at all using Windows Mail. I've been everywhere looking for soultions. All the solutions were vialbe for setting up an account with AOL. As far as that goes, everything is fine except receiving sent mail. I get no error messages when sending. I can send to AOL and it arrives. When I send to gmail, it never arrives and yet there is no error message. After weeks of trying that is the end result. The other problem is that when Windows Mail takes my AOL mail it does not leave a copy at AOL. As a result, all AOL mail is currently stored in Windows Mail, which is the only way I can access it. Thus my question: Is it possible to some how return my AOL mail back to AOL from Windows Mail?
