How to open IMAP file?
The most common problem when using Merak Mail Server Internet Message Access Protocol is that a specific IMAP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IMAP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMAP 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 Merak Mail Server
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Merak Mail Server is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Merak Mail Server in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IMAP files.
Programs to open IMAP file
Remember to download programs supporting IMAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Merak Mail Server with IMAP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IMAP file to open in the Merak Mail Server application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Merak Mail Server application as the default for handling the IMAP file.
Step 3. Update Merak Mail Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Merak Mail Server program with the Merak Mail Server Internet Message Access Protocol file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Icewarp Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMAP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IMAP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IMAP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected IMAP 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 IMAP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IMAP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Icewarp Ltd. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IMAP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the IMAP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IMAP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IMAP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
