Thanks.

Import messages error occurred with MAPI client

Hi Taylor,

 

Here are some possible reasons why you're having that error:

• You're trying to import your message to your Outlook 2007 even if you have already removed it from your computer.
• You make the Outlook 2007 as your default Messaging Application Programming Interfaces or MAPI client.

 

Here are the ways to solve your problem:

• If you removed Outlook 2007 on your computer you need to install it again.
• Change the MAPI default client. Follow the instructions below to change the MAPI default:

                Step 1: Launch your Outlook 2007.

                Step 2: Go to Tools > Options

                Step 3: Go to Connection > Change and the Internet Properties will appear.

                Step 4: Go to Programs then select other email application that you want to use except Outlook 2007 in the list. Hit Apply then OK

                Step 5: Hit OK the close the Option window.

                Step 6: Close the Outlook then reboot your computer.

You can now use it. I hope this can help you.
