Removing IMail Server
To remove IMail Server, use the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Windows Control Panel. The following happens:
- IMail services are removed from the Control Panel Services
- Everything is deleted in the Windows registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Ipswitch/IMail (but does not remove the Ipswitch key)
- Directories and files created by setup.exe are removed if nothing has been added to them. For instance, if you haven't added any users (and root never gets mail), the Users directory is removed.
Note: Removing IMail Server as described above does not delete the IMail directory or the subdirectories and files it contains. To remove these, you must delete them manually.
IMail server's uninstall doesn't remove the following files: iwebmsg.ini imonitor.ini imail.ini. This can cause problems with future installations. An example is if an administrator installs IMail Server in a location other than the standard C:\IMail, settings such as the web dir, ports, etc... are retained. So if the administrator then installs IMail Server in the standard location, some values point to the wrong location by default.
If you are reinstalling IMail Server to a new location, these three files ( iwebmsg.ini imonitor.ini imail.ini) need to be deleted or updated.
