How to open BAG file?
An often recurring problem with PMMail Mail Index is that BAG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BAG, 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 BAG 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 PMMail
In this case, you should first verify that the PMMail application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PMMail in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BAG with PMMail. Below you will find a list of applications that support BAG files.
Programs to open BAG file
Remember to download programs supporting BAG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PMMail with BAG files
If, despite the installed application, the BAG file does not start in the PMMail application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PMMail application as the default for handling the BAG file.
Step 3. Update PMMail to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PMMail program, it is possible that PMMail Mail Index requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Blueprint Software Works, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BAG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BAG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BAG file. However, remember that not every infected BAG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BAG files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BAG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Blueprint Software Works, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BAG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 BAG file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 BAG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
