How to open EMLX file?
The most common problem when using Mail Message is that a specific EMLX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EMLX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EMLX 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 Apple Mail
In this case, you should first verify that the Apple Mail application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Mail in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file EMLX.
Programs to open EMLX file
Remember to download programs supporting EMLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Mail with EMLX files
If, despite the installed application, the EMLX file does not start in the Apple Mail application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple Mail application as the default for handling the EMLX file.
Step 3. Update Apple Mail to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple Mail program, it is possible that Mail Message requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMLX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EMLX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EMLX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EMLX 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 EMLX 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EMLX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EMLX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the EMLX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EMLX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
