Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Outlook with MME files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MME file still does not use the Microsoft Outlook program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MME file with the Microsoft Outlook application.

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Outlook program, it is possible that Multi-Purpose Internet Mail requires a newer version of the program.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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The MME file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MME file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MME or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MME file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MME file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MME file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MME files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MME file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MME 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 MME file again. However, some background programs may block the MME file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
