Open MAPIMAIL File

MAPIMAIL files are used, in Windows-based operating systems, to enable the option 'Send to -> Mail recipient', in the context of right-clicking on the file or folder, and that opens the default mail program, attaching the file to a new message.

The MAPIMAIL file format was created to save users time by allowing files and folders to be emailed with the one-click convenience that the feature provides.

The email that is then created is created with the MAPIMAIL file extension.

Open a MAPIMAIL file

MAPIMAIL files are native to the operating system and are not intended to be opened manually by the user, nor to be exchanged between users.

In fact, if for any reason a MAPIMAIL file is deleted or corrupted, specialized file recovery programs should be used.
