Troubleshoot MAPIMAIL Files
Typical MAPIMAIL Opening Challenges
Microsoft Windows is Not Installed
If you attempt to load your MAPIMAIL file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open MAPIMAIL Files". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Windows is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your MAPIMAIL with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another MAPIMAIL application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Microsoft Windows Requires Update
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Send To Mail Recipient file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your Send To Mail Recipient file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than you have on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your MAPIMAIL file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening MAPIMAIL files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows installed on your computer.
