Deinstalling EMWAC Internet Mail Services

This section describes what to do if you want to remove the EMWAC Internet Mail Services from your computer, or if you want to move the programs to a new location.

  1. If necessary, stop each of the following services using the Stop button in the Services dialog in the Control Panel:
    EMWAC POP3 Server
    EMWAC SMTP Delivery Agent
    EMWAC SMTP Receiver

    Or if your IMS is verion 0.2x or earlier:
    POP3 Server
    SMTP Delivery Agent
    SMTP Receiver

  2. At the Windows NT command line, execute the service programs with the -remove option:
    SMTPRS -REMOVE
    SMTPDS -REMOVE
    POP3S -REMOVE

    This will remove the services from the Service Manager's list of services. It will also remove the service-specific configuration information from the Registry.

    Each REMOVE operation only deletes its own service specific registry information. The REMOVE operation does not remove the common registry information. That is, aliases, lists, directories for mail spool and inbox, etc, are still available. See more details in Registry.

  3. If you are deinstalling the Internet Mail Services, simply delete the following files:
    IMS.CPL
    IMSCMN.DLL
    SMTPDS.EXE
    SMTPRS.EXE
    POP3S.EXE

    Note: If you have IMS version earlier than 0.50, you need delete MCTRL.EXE instead of IMS.CPL.

  4. If you want to move the files to a new location, you must move the file, then type:
    SMTPRS -INSTALL
    SMTPDS -INSTALL
    POP3S -INSTALL

    This informs the Service Manager and Event Logger of the new location of the programs. You will need to start the services again from the Control Panel.

    Each INSTALL operation creates its own service specific registry information and tries to create the common registry. However, it does not overwrite anything if the common registry already exists. See more details in Registry.
