SUMMARY

This article explains how to change the MailEnable services to run as 64bit from 32bit after an upgrade to version 7 on a 64bit version of Microsoft Windows.

The same procedure can also be used to revert the services back to 32bit mode by editing the path location for the MailEnable BIN folder.

DETAIL

Version 7 Professional and Enterprise versions now allows MailEnable services to run as 64bit. However if upgrading to version 7 from an older verison of MailEnable, the upgrade will not change the services to run as 64bit and therefore requires the changes to be performed manually. The steps below explain the procedure: 

• Open a Windows command prompt (run as administrator)
• Run the following commands:

  mesmtpc -remove
  memta -remove
  mepoc -remove
  mepops -remove
  mepopc -remove
  mehttps -remove
  melsc -remove
  meradms -remove
  meimaps -remove
  mesmsc -remove     (not needed if using MailEnable Professional)

• Next navigate to the MailEnable "BIN64" folder

  Example: cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Mail Enable\bin64

NOTE: If changing the services to run as 32bit mode from 64bit mode then navigate to the MailEnable BIN folder.

• Run the following commands:

  mesmtpc -install
  memta -install
  mepoc -install
  mepops -install
  mepopc -install
  mehttps -install
  melsc -install
  meradms -install
  meimaps -install
  mesmsc -install    (not needed if using MailEnable Professional)
