SYMPTOMS
When attempting to import a Microsoft Mail 3.x (.mmf) file into Microsoft Outlook using the Internet Mail Only (IMO) installation, you may receive the following error message:

Error Importing the PAB entries from file  [80040102]



CAUSE
This error message occurs when you have selected the option to import the Personal Address Book (PAB). The IMO installation of Outlook supports the Windows Address Book (WAB) rather than the PAB.



RESOLUTION
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.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
