Or Error message 2:

Cause:

Long file paths (>255 characters) in either the source (Outlook temporary location for emails to be transferred) or the destination (Crows Nest folder) will create this error

Solution:

Drag the email ( .msg file) to a different location with a shorter file path and drag from there into Crows nest application and destination folder.

 

Error message 3:

 

Cause:

Dragging and dropping from 64 bit Outlook version to Crows Nest, which is a 32 bit application will produce this error.
