How to open winmail dat on iphone

The infamous Winmail.dat file!

Winmail.dat files are a common issue when receiving emails from Microsoft Outlook users, as they contain embedded Microsoft Office files (such as Word documents or Excel spreadsheets) that are not natively supported by iOS devices. Here are a few ways to open a Winmail.dat file on your iPhone:

Method 1: Use a third-party email client

  1. Install a third-party email client that supports Winmail.dat files, such as:
    • Microsoft Outlook (if you have a Microsoft account)
    • Spark Email
    • Airmail
    • Blue Mail
  2. Configure the email client to receive and open Winmail.dat files.

Method 2: Use a file viewer app

  1. Download a file viewer app that supports Winmail.dat files, such as:
    • File Viewer
    • File Manager
    • iFile
  2. Open the app and navigate to the location where the Winmail.dat file is stored.
  3. Tap on the Winmail.dat file to open it.

Method 3: Convert the file to a supported format

  1. Use an online converter tool, such as Online-Convert.com or Convertio.co, to convert the Winmail.dat file to a supported format like PDF or HTML.
  2. Download the converted file to your iPhone and open it using a compatible app.

Method 4: Ask the sender to resend the email

If none of the above methods work, you can ask the sender to resend the email in a format that is compatible with iOS devices, such as a PDF or a plain text email.

Remember that Winmail.dat files are not natively supported by iOS devices, so you may need to use a third-party app or service to open them.
