MAPI Compatible

Trying to send invoices from Simply 2008. Error message says mail account is
not MAPI compatile. What does this mean? I was using Outlook - now running
vista and using Windows Mail.

installed.

As far as I know, you need to install Outlook, version 2003 or later, or a
software package containing it. Version 2002 may work.

Windows Mail is a Simple MAPI client like Outlook Express, not a Full MAPI
client like Outlook.
