I pasted Anita's instructions below. Haven't tried it myself since
PO has run flawlessly for me. Hope it helps.
----------------------------------------
To uninstall Post.Office, bring up a terminal window. In the
terminal window, run the command:
cat /etc/Post.Office.conf
This will print out the location of your files in Post.Office, and
you need to remove them. You may need to run sudo to get the right
access to remove the files, but they will be in the directories:
/var/spool/post.office
/usr/local/post.office
/var/spool/mailbox
In addition, you will need to delete the
/Library/Receipts/Post-Office.pkg directory and files as well as the
/Library/StartUpItems/PostOffice directory and files. The last file
to delete is the /etc/post.office.conf file, although you can delete
any of this in any order.
----------------------------------------
Probably all you need to remove is the receipt.
Delete the /Library/Receipts/PostOffice.pkg file and try and run the
installer again.

Hi,
A while ago I install Post.Office on a development machine and had a tinker
with it. I didn't get very far as business pressures took me away from it
for a while. The Mac OSX became Jaguar and now I can't get the Post.Office
program to boot. I get a blank configuration screen after I authenticate, I
click the OK button and it quits.
I think I ought to uninstall and start again, I rather hoped the installer
would have an uninstall facility so I downloaded the latest installer
(3.5.3) and tried that. No luck. I continued the install though as it said
'upgrade', still no joy.
So I'm thinking I need to remove it (completely) as something is obviously
corrupt, but how do I do that? The Tenon website has a method but when it
comes to terminal commands I'm not that hot.
Can anyone help? All info greatly appreciated.
OK, I've killed it completely now. So much so even the installer won't boot.
All I need is a little bit of help to remove PO so I can install it again
from fresh.
Can anybody help me?
Best Regards
ICB
