How to open FWD file?
The main problem with Imail Server Forwarded Mail is that the FWD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FWD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FWD 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 IMail Server
The first step is to check if the computer has the IMail Server program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IMail Server in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FWD with IMail Server. Below you will find a list of applications that support FWD files.
Programs to open FWD file
Remember to download programs supporting FWD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IMail Server with FWD files
If, despite the installed application, the FWD file does not start in the IMail Server 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FWD file with the IMail Server application.
Step 3. Update IMail Server to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IMail Server program, it is possible that Imail Server Forwarded Mail requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Ipswitch, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FWD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FWD 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 FWD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FWD 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 FWD 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FWD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ipswiitch,Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FWD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FWD to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FWD to close. However, some background programs may block the FWD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
