Uninstall/Disable GFI MailEssentials 12.0
Posted on 2011-03-06
We are currently looking at uninstalling GFI MailEssentials as we havent renewed our subscription and decided that we do not need anymore. We tested today by stopping all GFI services but then all mail stopped being recieved. I have looked at the connectors but am not to familar with the setup of these, can anyone please provide hints on disabling GFI and still having mail come through, and hopefully this same solution will work if we do decide to remove the product completely..
