I want to export all my mail messages from my old
computer to my new one. When I use the export command
from the file menu and select "all folders" I get the
following error message: "Your defaul MAPI store could
not be opened."

How can I transfer my old e-mail messages??
 
And you're posting an OE question in an Outlook newsgroup because..?

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
http://www.tomsterdam.com/
 
you get that error because outlook isn't installed. you'll need to install
outlook or use a different method. if you are only using OE, see
www.tomsterdam.com/insideOE/index.htm for instructions on reconnecting your
dbx files on the new machine.
