Failed to uninstall iredmail
I am once again perplexed by the number of thread here that have had the same problem. I am also totally amazed that most users have had to do a factory reset - that is not possible in my case. ...

What OS are you on?
If it is OS6... it might be that the directory is still present in the /apps folder.
If it is, it will be present in the list of installed apps but you will not be able to start it.
When I encountered that problem, I manually removed the /apps/iredmail folder.
You can check an repair this with ssh by using the web ssh interface.
You will have to enable ssh.
If you do not want to install the ssh web interface, you can also do this on your desktop or laptop using a terminal program such as putty.

You don't need to use SSH to remove that directory.
Browse to the following URL in your preferred browser, replacing [ReadyNAS] with the IP address or hostname of your ReadyNAS and replacing [volume] with your volume name (default “data”)
Note: Do not include the brackets []. These are included for visibility.https://[ReadyNAS]/admin/browse.html#path=%2F[volume]%2F.apps
Click on the iredmail directory and selection the option to delete it.
