Overview

When encountering a runtime error in GFI MailEssentials, it may be due to configuration errors, missing dependencies, or insufficient disk space. This guide provides steps to troubleshoot and resolve these issues, ensuring the application runs smoothly.

Information

To resolve runtime errors in GFI MailEssentials, follow these steps:

  1. Check Available Disk Space:
    • Open File Explorer, right-click on the system drive (usually C:\), and select Properties to check available space.
    • Alternatively, open Command Prompt (cmd) as Administrator and run:
      wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption
    • If disk space is low, delete unnecessary files, clear the %temp% folder, or expand disk space.
  2. Verify Assembly Installation:
    • Ensure the DevExpress.Web.v11.2.dll is present in:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\GFI\MailEssentials\wwwconf\bin
    • If missing, reinstall the necessary DevExpress package.
  3. Review Configuration File:
    • Check the web.config file, particularly line 92, for correct references to DevExpress.Web.v11.2 and ensure all dependencies are configured properly.
  4. Clear .NET Temporary Files:
    • Stop IIS by running:
      iisreset /stop
    • Navigate to:
      C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\YourVersion\Temporary ASP.NET Files\MailEssentials
    • Delete the MailEssentials folder.
    • Restart IIS:
      iisreset /noforce
  5. Restart GFI MailEssentials Services:
    • After resolving disk space issues and clearing temporary files, restart the MailEssentials services and test the application.
