Problems using MAPI need Outlook, not Outlook Express, installed.
Outlook is available as part of some, but not all, of the Microsoft
Office software packages.

As far as I know, MAPI is only used in Windows Mail if you try to
import or export messages for Outlook, not Outlook Express.

Outlook Express won't install or run under Vista, although I believe some
versions of it have been available for download.
