How to open WDSEML file?

The main problem with Thunderbird Searchable Email Format is that the WDSEML file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WDSEML 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 WDSEML 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 Mozilla Thunderbird

In this case, you should first verify that the Mozilla Thunderbird application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Mozilla Thunderbird into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WDSEML files.

Programs to open WDSEML file

Remember to download programs supporting WDSEML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Mozilla Thunderbird with WDSEML files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WDSEML file to open in the Mozilla Thunderbird 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WDSEML file with the Mozilla Thunderbird program.

Step 3. Update Mozilla Thunderbird to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Mozilla Thunderbird program with the Thunderbird Searchable Email Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Mozilla Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDSEML 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WDSEML 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 WDSEML or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WDSEML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WDSEML files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WDSEML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Mozilla help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WDSEML 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WDSEML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WDSEML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WDSEML to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDSEML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
