For IT technicians

The MAPI Fixit Tool provided above restores a default Windows Registry value. If the tool is unable to modify the registry directly, the registry key (String Value) can be created or updated manually.

For 32-bit versions of windows:

Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem
Registry Value Name: MAPI
Type: REG_SZ
Registry Value: 1

For 64-bit versions of windows:

Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem
Registry Value Name: MAPI
Type: REG_SZ
Registry Value: 1
