I wrote an email event receiver for a list, which overrode the default incoming email settings (I now only have an option to turn it on/off and set the email, and the rest is expected to be handled by my custom code). However, when I now remove the email event receiver from my farm, the incoming email settings are not restored to their default.

Is there a way to restore SharePoint's default email event receiver to a list? Do I have to recreate the list from scratch now?

Does your FeatureDeactivated code detach your custom event receiver from the list? – Dave Wise Feb 25 at 16:10
Yes, my feature should be deactivating as normal. When the feature is not active and I send in an email, nothing happens. In fact, if I save the list as a template and create a different one with an entirely different name, the settings are still truncated for incoming emails. – user11457 Feb 25 at 20:58

May be in your case the simplest way is to use PowerShell. See this post.

This unfortunately doesn't do anything. I am free to change the options but it doesn't seem to change the fact that no event receiver is firing for the list. – user11457 Feb 25 at 21:07
