| Imail Server Forwarded Mail | Ipswiitch,Inc. | Various Files |
The FWD file extension is associated with the iMail Server, an email server for Microsoft Windows systems. This application stores forwarded messages in the FWD format, which contains the original text of the entire message along with the original headers and attachments. The FWD format is legally considered to be a derivative of the original source mail message.
The FWD file format is a simple ASCII text-based format enabling manual editing and removal of certain content. As such, it will likely not contain any specific formatting from the original, such as fonts, colors, images, layout, etc. Similar versions of the FWD format include MSG, EML, and TXT. In most instances, they can all be used interchangeably when exporting mail messages or attachments.
Opening & Converting FWD Files
The FWD file format must be opened in an email client program in order to be able to read them. Most email programs support both viewing and opening of FWD files from within their interface. Additionally there are some online utilities that can be used to convert FWD files to PDFs, HTMLs, PSTs or other popular formats. Lastly there is also a selection of manual file converters available for individual download and use.
Attachments Within FWD Files
The FWD file format support embedded attachments within its content. After downloading, a user should open the FWD file with their email client and toggle to view the attachment included in the original email message. Attachments may include documents, spreadsheets, audio files or anything else that could also have been included natively in an email.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FWD) 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 .FWD 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 .FWD 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 .FWD 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 .FWD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FWD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FWD 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 .FWD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FWD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FWD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
