OL98: (IMO) Error Importing PAB Entries from .mmf File
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Outlook 98
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook
with the Internet Mail Only option. To determine your installation
type, on the Help menu click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft
Outlook you should see "Internet Mail Only" if you have
the Internet Mail Only option installed.
Symptoms
When attempting to import a Microsoft Mail 3.x (.mmf) file into
Microsoft Outlook 98 using the Internet Mail Only (IMO) installation,
you may receive the following error message:
Error Importing the PAB entries from file <path:\file name>
[80040102]
Cause
This error message occurs when you have selected the option to
import the Personal Address Book (PAB). The IMO installation of
Outlook 98 supports the Windows Address Book (WAB) rather than the
PAB.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
WORKAROUND
You cannot import the PAB entries into the WAB. To import the mail
messages without receiving the error message, click to clear the
"Import personal address book entries" check box on the
Import Mail Data dialog box.
