The MAPIMAIL file extension is associated with Microsoft Outlook, the information management messaging and collaboration application software developed by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Outlook stores all its data in the .pst format; a proprietary file format based on the Message Application Programming Interface (MAPI). This data can be transferred to other email programs, applications or users via the MAPIMAIL file type.
Description
The MAPIMAIL file extension is a compressed and encrypted version of an Outlook-specific .pst file. It contains emails that are sent to email recipients or forward to an email address. MAPIMAIL files are created when sending messages using Microsoft Outlook's Mail Recipient option found in menus. When transferring emails from Microsoft Outlook to other mail clients, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, a MAPIMAIL type of file is created automatically for sending purposes. In this way, the message that was sent with Microsoft Outlook remains in its original text formatting when it is received by another user.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions used with Microsoft Outlook include: .msg, .eml, and .ost.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MAPIMAIL) 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 .MAPIMAIL 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 .MAPIMAIL 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 .MAPIMAIL 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 .MAPIMAIL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MAPIMAIL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MAPIMAIL 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 .MAPIMAIL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MAPIMAIL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MAPIMAIL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
