Translating「メーラーの設定によってクリックのみでは正しく開けない場合があります」


Here is the phrase:

> メーラーの設定によってクリックのみでは正しく開けない場合があります

The expressions that have me stuck are:

  1. みで - I'm not sure what this expression could be... is it some kind of modifier possibly or is it some form of 見る

  2. 正しく開けない - I get that this is a compound verb of sorts with the words 正しい and 開ける. I know what each of the words mean individually, but I can't figure out what word they are expressing together.

  3. メーラー - I tried sounding it out and at first I thought it was 'mirror', but it isn't. I can't think of an English equivalent. Is it just a emoji?

I know this forum is for inquiries in 'proficient' Japanese and that my
question might be too obvious, but I didn't know where else to go to ask for
help. I apologize if my post is inappropriate.

P.S. My Japanese proficiency is BEGINNER.




  1. 「みで」is not the expression your looking for. That part of the sentence should be parsed クリック **のみ** では - "by **only** clicking"

  2. You're on the right track. By changing 正し **い** to 正し **く** it becomes an adverb, so you get 正し **く** 開けない - "can't correct **ly** open"

  3. メーラー is probably "mailer", perhaps you mistook the first kana?
