So the setup is that I was unaware of the "clear list" option within the mod (maybe have the option in multiple places, or a more obvious one? just a thought) so I went through the list under the "alts" menu and deleted every toon in there one by one, started with about 13 or so.

After this, I get several Lua errors. The first is when I load the game:

1 / 3:

Then when I open a mailbox:

and finally when I try to click the arrow next to the "To:" Field.

It does reference other mods in some cases, but the only change made was to postal, and not all of them reference the other mods. postal is the only common factor. Clearly I did things the wrong way, and I am guessing I need to clear out whatever files are left over after removing a mod since deleting and reinstalling do not fix it either, but I wanted to drop this here just in case it is helpful to you.

Can you please attach your personal Postal settings file to this report, and I will take a look.  The default location for this file is C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\SavedVariables\Postal.lua

Waited a week for a response from poster, but never received one.  Closing this issue as no response or further reports.
