i just installed them. i decided not to use them without doing anything so i went to uninstall them but i got this message:

DB function failed with error number 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TABLE `mos_newsletter`' at line 1 SQL=DROP TABLE TABLE `mos_newsletter`
SQL =
DROP TABLE TABLE `mos_newsletter`


and they wont uninstall. any ideas why?

thanks!

To me it seems, that the DROP TABLE command is invalid when saying "DROP TABLE TABLE ..."
Here is how you manually can try to uninstall and delete the tables, BUT before doing this, BACKUP your database:

If you have phpMyAdmin, delete the following tables via phpMyAdmin: mos_newsletter, mos_newsletter_letters, mos_newsletter_subscribers, mos_newsletter_sendletters. Go to table mos_components and search for entries called "Newsletter", "Newsletter management", "Subscriber management" and "Send newsletter", delete them. In your mambo installation find the folder /components/com_newsletter and /administrator/components/com_newsletter delete them too. That should do the trick.
Another thing you could try (if you don't want to use the above) is opening the file /administrator/components/com_newsletter/newsletter.xml and look somewhere at line 60 if there is a typo, e. g. something like this:

which should look this way:

Hope, this helps.
