You must have Office Outlook installed and functional on your new Vista
machine in order to do the transfer; Outlook is the "missing MAPI client"
from the error message you're getting. Two choices:
1. Install Outlook on your new Vista PC. With Outlook closed on the old PC,
make a COPY of your Personal Folders (.PST) file. Take this copy to your
Vista machine and place it in a folder. DO NOT OVERWRITE the .PST file
created with the Outlook install. Make sure the copy is NOT set Read Only.
Open Outlook, go to 'File|Open|Outlook Data File' and navigate to the .PST
copy. Open the file. You'll now have access to all your old email,
contacts, calendars, tasks, etc.
2. Export everything in Outlook on your old PC to Outlook Express on your
old PC. Make copies of all your Outlook Express .DBX files (including
Folders.dbx) and your .WAB file and place them in a folder on your Vista PC.
Use these instructions to import your email from OE to WM:

To import contacts from the .WAB file, double click it and follow the import
wizard prompts.
