Are you asking for the by-hand removal instructions?

Tenon's web site -> Support -> Post.Office  -> FAQ

http://www.tenon.com/faq/faq.php?display=faq&nr=4&catnr=2&prog=3.5.3&lang=en&>

sudo rm -R /usr/local/post.office
sudo rm -R /var/spool/post.office
sudo rm -R /Library/StartupItems/PostOffice
sudo rm -R /var/spool/mailbox
sudo rm -R /Applications/Post.Office.app
sudo rm /etc/post.office.conf
sudo rm /usr/lib/libPO35.A.dylib
sudo rm -R /Library/Receipts/Post-Office.pkg

Found it - or one of them

In Terminal, type "locate libPO"

And you will see the libraries that post office has running

What is frustrating is that Post Office has no current uninstall program. I refuse to run a program written for 10.1 on a production X Serve running 10.3.9.

Derrick, there is a GUI Uninstaller for all of Tenon's applications.
http://www.tenon.com/~downloads/Uninstaller/Uninstaller.dmg.gz

At this point, I have literally "ripped" post office out.

In addition, the Post.Office FAQ contains detailed instructions for removing Post.Office by hand using Terminal.

You might run Terminal, type "top" and watch which process is hogging
the processor. Then look for that component on your machine. Maybe
the background process isn't called "post.office"....

Blaine


After spending some hours yesterday morning trying to re-install
Post.office without luck, I resorted to manually deleting Post.office.

Problem is, even after this, and after several reboots, and not
having an install of Post.office running, there is still apparently
some remnant of Post.office running on the system. This prevents
re-installing the program and is bringing the server to a crawl.

Does anyone know the hidden processes that post.office creates?

I can even do "locate post.office" and several variations of this
from the command line and I get nothing - that is how thoroughly I
have removed the files. I updated the locate database as well to
ensure that I was getting the right information. And I deleted items
in the receipts folder.

Please, any help is appreciated.
