What is PMI file?
The PMI file has been categorized as Web Files. It was designed by David Harris. Additionally, the Web Files category contains 303 of other files. Pegasus Mail Message Folder Index appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Pegasus Mail application is recommended to open the file. It was released by David Harris. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the PMI file. The Aid4Mail programs will also handle the file when the Pegasus Mail program does not fulfill its role.
How to open PMI file?
An often recurring problem with Pegasus Mail Message Folder Index is that PMI is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PMI, 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 PMI 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 Pegasus Mail
The first step is to check if the computer has the Pegasus Mail program installed. This can be achieved by typing Pegasus Mail into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PMI with Pegasus Mail. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PMI files.
Programs to open PMI file
Remember to download programs supporting PMI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pegasus Mail with PMI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PMI file to open in the Pegasus Mail application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Pegasus Mail application as the default for handling the PMI file.
Step 3. Update Pegasus Mail to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Pegasus Mail program, it is possible that Pegasus Mail Message Folder Index requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the David Harris website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMI 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 suggests truncating the PMI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PMI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PMI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PMI files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PMI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact David Harris
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PMI 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. Copying the PMI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PMI file again. However, some background programs may block the PMI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
