How to open IMAPMBOX file?
An often recurring problem with IMAP Mailbox is that IMAPMBOX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open IMAPMBOX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IMAPMBOX 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apple Mail program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Mail in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IMAPMBOX with Apple Mail. Below you will find a list of applications that support IMAPMBOX files.
Programs to open IMAPMBOX file
Remember to download programs supporting IMAPMBOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apple Mail with IMAPMBOX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IMAPMBOX file still does not use the Apple Mail program, it means no 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple Mail application as the default for handling the IMAPMBOX file.
Step 3. Update Apple Mail to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apple Mail program with the IMAP Mailbox file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMAPMBOX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 IMAPMBOX 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IMAPMBOX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IMAPMBOX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IMAPMBOX file. 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 IMAPMBOX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IMAPMBOX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IMAPMBOX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
