EdbMails Exchange migration is designed in such a way that uninstalling and reinstalling does not remove any configuration files or databases. So, all the settings will be retained.
ImportantIn the case you wish to reinstall the software completely, including deleting all settings files, you need to remove the software completely first and install it from scratch. Be aware, such an operation may result in unforeseen data loss and other problems such as item duplication on the target server. We strongly recommend consulting with EdbMails Support before rushing into this decision.
