E-mail System Library appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open AME file?
The most common problem when using ACT! E-mail System Library is that a specific AME is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open AME, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AME file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Act!
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Act! is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Act! into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support AME files.
Programs to open AME file
Remember to download programs supporting AME files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Act! with AME files
If, despite the installed application, the AME file does not start in the Act! application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AME file with the Act! program.
Step 3. Update Act! to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Act! program with the ACT! E-mail System Library file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Sage Group plc website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AME file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AME file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AME or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected AME files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AME file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AME files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Sage Group plc, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AME except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the AME file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AME file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
