How to open IMB file?

An often recurring problem with IncredMail Adress Book And Temporary Contacts is that IMB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file IMB 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 IMB 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 IncrediMail

The first step is to check if the computer has the IncrediMail program installed. To do this, enter the name IncrediMail into the system search engine. 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 IMB.

Programs to open IMB file

Remember to download programs supporting IMB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of IncrediMail with IMB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IMB file to open in the IncrediMail 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. 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IMB file with the IncrediMail program.

Step 3. Update IncrediMail to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the IncrediMail program, it is possible that IncredMail Adress Book And Temporary Contacts requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Perion Network Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IMB 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 IMB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IMB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IMB file. However, remember that not every infected IMB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IMB 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.
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 IMB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Perion Network Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IMB 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. Copying the IMB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the IMB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IMB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
