OEACCOUNT File Complications

Issues Opening OEACCOUNT Files

Microsoft Mail Disappeared

If you attempt to load your OEACCOUNT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open OEACCOUNT Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Mail missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the OEACCOUNT file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Mail installed, and you know of another program to open your OEACCOUNT file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Incorrect Microsoft Mail Version

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Mail isn't able to open your Windows Mail Account File file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Mail from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Your Windows Mail Account File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Mail than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of OEACCOUNT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Regardless, most of the OEACCOUNT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Mail installed.

Although you might already have Microsoft Mail or another OEACCOUNT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Windows Mail Account File files.

• Your OEACCOUNT can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
