Some of our users need to have the ability to use Outlook as the front end for notes access…(not something I am proud of). They are salesreps and use a program that is not very notes-friendly. We recently upgraded to version 6.5.1, and now non of this functionality works any longer. You get an error that MAPI was unable to load the information service nwnsp.dll. When you go into the control panel and go to the Mail icon, “Lotus Notes Mail” is the only service. By clicking on its properties, you get a “The Action Could Not Be Completed The Action Could Not Be Completed” error message(yes, it is written twice in the dialog box). Previously, I believe that the Addresses tab within this same panel would have listed the domino address book. Now there is nothing. I have uninstalled and re-installed everything…and I have done extensive searches on both the lotus and microsoft sites…nothing but assistance on setting it up…I have searched this forum, with no concrete solution…if there is one. If anyone has solved this, help is appreciated. Its Notes 6.5.1, and Office 2000 Pro. Thanks.

You need to install Outlook XP with the new Microsoft connector for Domino, which you can download from MS

Thanks Nathan.

there is another way.
try this
Locate the win.ini of your Windows installation
Add the following lines
[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMC=1
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1
For Office 2003
Locate and then click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem registry key.
You should have the following registry values listed in the Windows Messaging Subsystem key:
Name Type Data
MAPI REG_SZ 1
CMC REG_SZ 1
CMCDLLNAME REG_SZ Mapi.dll
CMCDLLNAME32 REG_SZ Mapi32.dll
MAPIX REG_SZ 1
MAPIXVER REG_SZ 1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging REG_SZ 1

Hi Martin,
I have a similar problem and wondering if this solution will help me.
Trying to get MS Project to send collaboration messages through Lotus Notes mail, but receives an error message from the MS Project Central Spooler stating that there is a problem and it needs to close. Had attributed this error to Lotus’ decision to discontinue support of Extended MAPI in Notes 6.5.1. Simple MAPI seem to work fine, it opens Notes locally and creates a new message and adds the MS Project as an attachment.
Any chance that this problem can be fixed with the changes you recommended to Andrew?
Thanks in advance,
