Outlook/Windows Mail Woes

[Teddy]

I've seen that the import/export issue has been addressed often, but I'm now
in a
bit of a quandry thanks to my beta expiring last week, and I can't find a
solution anywhere.

So I've been running the Office 2007 beta, which expired last week. Unable
to afford Office software (and quite frankly wanting to give Windows Mail a
whirl ANYway...) it's now time to move my e-mail over.

Sadly, Windows Mail won't let me import from Outlook 07 (gives me a MAPI
error) even though Outlook 2007 is still installed.

Furthermore, my Outlook beta has expired and now is in "limited
functionality mode," which disables import/export so I can't revert the file
to
Outlook Express or Windows Mail or whatever so I can import it into Windows
Mail.

Where does one go from here? Microsoft? Where you at?

Thanks for any help!

You should have moved it over prior to the expiration of the beta.

Sadly, Windows Mail won't let me import from Outlook 07 (gives me a
MAPI error) even though Outlook 2007 is still installed.

One thing to try is to set your clock back to a date prior to the
expiration. Another is to uninstall the beta, download it again, and
reinstall a fresh copy.
