Programs to open MAILDB file
Remember to download programs supporting MAILDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Aid4Mail with MAILDB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MAILDB file to open in the Aid4Mail application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 MAILDB file with the Aid4Mail program.
Step 3. Update Aid4Mail to the latest version
If, however, after binding Aid4Mail with MSN Mail there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Fookes Software Ltd. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAILDB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MAILDB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 MAILDB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MAILDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MAILDB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MAILDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MAILDB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move MAILDB 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MAILDB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
