  1. Go to the BrandMail ribbon and click Synchronize Data
  2. The platform will wait 5 seconds prior to commencing the sync
  3. Within the first 5 seconds click on the Delete Database button


This will delete the database on the workstation and will automatically begin a fresh forced sync to download the complete toolbar from scratch.
