The necessary lines have been commented out - instead of
;msconfig MAPI=1
you need
MAPI=1
and so on.
It looks as if someone has run the msconfig utility (which lets you make
changes to the way your system starts up) and made changes which may need to
be reversed. Let's hope it's just these ones.

OK I have this problem too.
I went to win.ini and opened in a notepad. It already has these lines
(copied as shown)
[Mail]
;msconfig MAPI=1
;msconfig CMC=1
;msconfig CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
;msconfig CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
;msconfig MAPIX=1
;msconfig MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
;msconfig OLEMessaging=1
For years we have been sending email using Word Mail Merge and Access,
outputting email through Outlook Express.
What has happened:
Following our normal practice:
Click on the Tools menu and click on Mail Merge. display the Mail Merge
Helper dialog box. Set up document and data source. Then in the Mail
Merge
Helper dialog box, click on "Merge". button in the lower part of the
dialog
box. Opening the Merge dialog box. In the Merge to: field, drop down
list -
normally we select Electronic mail.
However, Electronic mail is no longer in this list. What do we do to get
it
back!?
Programs etc:
Word 2000 (9.0.2720)
Access
Outlook Exress
Windows XP SP2
Can you help?

Ensure that win.ini has the following lines:

CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPI=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1

and that the indicated dll files are present.

This worked before, but today when I tried to send an e-mail to a
bunch of clients, the merge-to didn't have an option for e-mail.
Just "Printer" and "New Document".
Any clues?
