The POS ( .POS) file is an IBM Lotus Notes data file. It is associated with IBM Lotus Notes, which is a popular email and messaging client for Microsoft Windows. The file stores multiple objects such as calendar events, personalized address books, task list settings, note and contact information, and more. It is used by IBM Lotus Notes to store user settings, configurations, and other user-specific information.
Technical Details
The POS file is created when the user sets up their IBM Lotus Notes email account in order to reference important information or details related to the user's account. It is supported by IBM Lotus Notes versions 13.0.1 and earlier. The data stored by the POS file is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher algorithm using a 128-bit key.
File Extension Similarities
Other similar file extensions related to this include LNDb, .NTF, .BOX, .NSF, .CTL, and .IDX. All these files are associated with the IBM Lotus Notes application.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .POS) 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 .POS 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 .POS 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 .POS 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 .POS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .POS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .POS 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 .POS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .POS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .POS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
