What is PMX file?
The .PMX file is the mail file. It is associated with the Pegasus Mail software. Outgoing correspondence is saved in these files. The software itself is an email client. It is a completely free standard-based solution. The advantages of the software include a relatively small size with a wide range of functions and additions. It is worth noting that installers for 16-bit systems or directly to DOS are also distributed. Of course, it is also supported by the latest Windows.
How to open PMX file?
The most common problem when using Pegasus Mail Outgoing Message is that a specific PMX is not associated with the program. This causes the file PMX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PMX 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pegasus Mail is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Pegasus Mail into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PMX files.
Programs to open PMX file
Remember to download programs supporting PMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pegasus Mail with PMX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PMX file still does not use the Pegasus Mail program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 PMX file with the Pegasus Mail program.
Step 3. Update Pegasus Mail to the latest version
If, however, after binding Pegasus Mail with Pegasus Mail Outgoing Message there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the David Harris website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMX 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 PMX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PMX 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. 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 PMX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PMX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PMX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PMX 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 PMX 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PMX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PMX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PMX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
