"mapi not installed in your system" when emailing

Post by pjallittle »

Mine works fine but a friend has Comcast. When he tries to email from Xnview, he gets the following message:

mapi not installed in your system

Any ideas how he can get around this? Or is it an email program problem.

Thank you, but that's obvious, the question is, how does one obtain MAPI?

You have probably to install a new e-mail soft. like Thunderbird or Outlook-express, or ..... to have this Mapi file installed.

I use Thunderbird latest version and have the same problem. I can easily use other programs, they will start TB and I get a blank message send edit window with the correct attachement.

I don't understand why XnView has it's own Message edit window - what is that good for? Maybe the problem is that XnView can't transfer all those data to the mail client then, as can be read here:

Just sending the pic(s) instead might work...
