Apple Mail Email Message | Apple | Text Files |
The EMLX (Mail Message) file format is a type of e-mail message created in Apple Mail, which is the default application for managing mail messages on Mac OS X systems. This format is used to store a single message from an e-mail application, along with the attachments that may be included with it. The components of an EMLX file include a header containing information about the sender and recipient, a body containing the textual content of the message and any associated or embedded images, and possibly other metadata elements like encoding settings or digital signature information. An EMLX file can be recognized by its file extension which is .emlx.
Attributes of an EMLX File
An EMLX file is a plain text file, typically about 500 bytes in size but can range up to several kilobytes. It is encoded using the UTF-8 character encoding standard, allowing it to store data from multiple different languages. This format does not support encoding of rich text or formatting information, so any formatting must be done through HTML tags or other special characters. As a binary file, an EMLX file cannot be directly viewed or edited by a user and must use an appropriate application for viewing or editing. A related file format for Apple Mail is the MBOX format, which stores complete folders of emails.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .EMLX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .EMLX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .EMLX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .EMLX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .EMLX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .EMLX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .EMLX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .EMLX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .EMLX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .EMLX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
