How to open PMM file?
The main problem with Pegasus Mail Mailbox Format is that the PMM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PMM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PMM 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. To do this, enter the name Pegasus Mail into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PMM with Pegasus Mail. Below you will find a list of applications that support PMM files.
Programs to open PMM file
Remember to download programs supporting PMM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pegasus Mail with PMM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PMM file still does not use the Pegasus Mail program, it means no association. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PMM file with the Pegasus Mail application.
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The fault may also lie with the Pegasus Mail program, it is possible that Pegasus Mail Mailbox Format requires a newer version of the program.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 David Harris page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PMM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PMM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PMM 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 PMM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PMM files. 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 PMM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PMM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PMM file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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.
