What are MAIL.OFT Error Messages?


General MAIL.OFT Runtime Errors

MAIL.OFT file errors often occur during the startup phase of Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit), but can also occur while the program is running. These types OFT errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit) is running. Here are some of the most common MAIL.OFT runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Templates\1033\MAIL.OFT

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most OFT errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your MAIL.OFT file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, MAIL.OFT file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit), system crash while loading or saving MAIL.OFT, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your MAIL.OFT issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the MAIL.OFT error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit) (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit) software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the MAIL.OFT error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your MAIL.OFT File (Caution: Advanced)

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free MAIL.OFT files for every applicable version of Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit).

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\templates\1033\

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve MAIL.OFT problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download MAIL.OFT Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying MAIL.OFT to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit) OFT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing MAIL.OFT and all other OFT files for Microsoft Office 2016 Preview (32 bit). An incorrectly installed OFT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
