I tried to export data from windows live mail to outlook xp,
but get this error - mapi could not be opened.
 
Outlook just opens my hard drives c: d: etc, not the outlook as such. How
can I fix this pl.
 
when I open outlook xp, I get this message-
unable to open default email folders

How to fix it pl.
 
Create a new mail profile.

Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by this. Do you mean that clicking
the Outlook icon opens WIndows Explorer?
 
All mail related options are no longer there. Not even import, else I would
have imported from .pst file
:(
 
What do you think a new mail profile is? You create one under Control Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles. it has nothing to do with your .pst file.

That’s exactly what I was refering to, that option is usually visible in
outlook , but in this case it was not active. However thro Control
Panel->Mail Icon->Profiles , did manage to create a profile, then went to
outlook express > exported to the new profile, the export process said it
finished successfully, but on opening outlook, it is empty.

Next what sir ...
 
Try connecting your old .PST file to the new profile you created:
