Error Description: Initialization of MAPI failed. Please make that you have messaging services installed on this system.

As xp_sendmail works I thought MAPI was going to be okay and I'd be able to use this. Obviously not. What's going wrong? How do I install messaging services if that's the answer?

Thanks!
