No Data lost, i lost only account in messanger list. All data i recive on my notebook, but after replase the battery each time i need make new mail account. Hard reboot and reinstall all programs every time or full backup every time - not a good solving.

i have same problem as you?. does anyone know the solution...

No one help me yet
If you find some solution - say me please

i have a same problem. does any one sole it???

Ditto
My today screen now has 8 accounts on it all showing unread messages although i can only open one of them. I don't know how to get rid of them besides a hard rest which i dont want to do.
Surely there must be some solution as I will run out or screen if it happens any more

Hi,
Had exactly the same issue.
The problem for me was restoring the backup file created by Sprite.
I resolved my issue by not restoring the messaging dB's - and everything was OK - The reverse is make a backup but not the messaging dB's then restore.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Hi After doing some googling I found a tool that might help for some people but it didnt for me. someone else might ba able to shed some light
1) use the DBViewSP editor to go to cemail.vol
2) under that go to 'pmailNamedProps' and select it to edit the values
3) scroll down to the very last 2 values, which should be called 'UnreadCou...'
4) delete them
5) restart
Please if you do do this make a backup of your .vol file 'just in case'!

Help with contacts softkey on Black 2.0

Made a stupid mistake and deleted the contacts shortcut in my startup folder. I then loaded softkeys! I now have no way of going back to my contacts on the right softkey. I have looked throughout my windows folder for the pcontacts and I can't find it. I love Black 2.0 and won't go back! Don't want to have to reset for this stupid mistake. Can someone help or post their contacts shortcut here. Thanks!

You can create the link yourself with...
:MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-10000
and then put the shortcut in any place.

Thanks for the reply....I am still in the dark about your answer....do you mean to place this in the registry or somewhere else. I hate to sound like such a noob.

I got it....thanks for the help! You guys are awesome

Contacts won't open!!
I recently upgraded to Black pro 2.0. I love it! However, I used spb backup 1.5.5 to backup my pim info (mainly contacts). Now, when I restore my pim I can no longer open contacts. I tried using the softkey, tried openning it using the phone utility. I tried going back to 2.11 ROM... but the problem persists. I even tried to use other backup programs but still come across the same problem. Other programs that use the contacts database (like Vbirthday) can't access the contacts either. I have Agendus installed and when I go to the contacts in the Agendus menu all my contacts are there, so I think this is a problem in the shell or maybe a registry fix would do the trick... I don't know. I appreciate any help.

Id strongly advise NOT to use spb backup....there are such differences in the new Black ROM that restoring a backup can cause allsorts of problems.
The BEST thing you can do is to get yourself signed up for an exchange account somewhere like mail2web....you get push email but more importantly for you the contacts are synced......so even after a hard reset all it takes is a quick sync and your contacts/calendar/tasks and emails are back in the device.

Thanks for the reply! But I was actually hoping for a way to restore my contacts from my storage card, since I have over 300 contacts it would take me too long to type it all back again. There must be a way to fix this problem. Well... I'll keep trying to find an answer; thanks anyway.

Take the plunge dude once your info is in exchange it is automatically updated if you add or remove a contact etc.....SUCH A SERIOUS TIMESAVER.
and doesnt rely on SD cards or anything else.

Can you export with Agendus and then HR and import?
I'm saying cause seems that restore with SPB Backup dosn't work with contacts in the way it must to do. I try to use in the past, and finally take all my critical information to an exchange server activesync.

Before I upgraded to Black Pro 2.0, SPB backup would work fine even with contacts. I never had any problems with WM5 1.35 ROM. What do you mean by HR? (sorry if this is a stupid question).

HR = Hard Reset
when you say you never had any problem, means that you tested to restore the same backaup before, and this same backup now in Black 2.0 dosn't work?
Or you are trying to restore diferents backups?

Same backup. Won't work in Black 2.0. I did what you suggested (exported a contact from Agendus to my storage card in csv format), HR but can't (don't kknow how to) import it neither with contact nor with Agendus.

Maybe I should just downgrade to WM5 1.35 again. Could anyone tell me how? I tried running the upgrading utility for 1.35 ROM but it doesn't recognize the usb connection. I thought it might be a problem with the SPL 1.40 Olipro and changed to 1.10 Oli... still the same problem. I tried changing it to 1.10 MGF but mtty won't recognize the usb connection either. It's not a problem with my usb port because everything else works fine, including the phone syncronization. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks mrvanx! I'll try it later. But first, one last attempt to solve the problem... maybe the culprit is not Black 2.0 but radio 1.38.

I was wondering why people advise an exchange account instead of simply syncing with outlook. I use outlook to sync contacts and appointments and it works well as a backup... After my Black VI upgrade simply connect and sync. So am i missing something ?

I think you can Import your exported CSV into Outlook, and then sync with TyTN trought ActiveSync.

There are same advantages doing with exchange (like i see):
First of all, you can sync in any place, trought GPRS or 3G, so you dosn't need be connected to your PC to restore your information.
Second, the servers normally has their backup policy, so your information is more secure.
Thirt, every time you change one elemment in contacts or calendar, this change sync on the fly to server, so your information is the same in server and in ppc everytime.
After three years of use, this is the most secure method i find to take this information secure and avaylable.

Thanks for the tips. I went back to WM5 1.35, restored my info with SPB backup and it worked. So I syncronized with Outlook, went back to Black 2.0 and syncronized again... contacts and tasks back to my device and working fine. Now I'll see about this exchange mail. By the way... which is the best one? P.S.: could this problem I had be something of interest to Jasjamming? Since Black is his ROM and had some compatibility issues with various backup programs... maybe he would like to have a look at it. Thanks again.

I applied the WM6 ROM and lost a few functions

I got a warranty replacement for my 8525 yesterday and immediately applied WM6 from HTC's website. Before using the phone at all after applying WM6, I loaded all of my old apps and software onto it and then restored a backup from my old phone. The backup consisted of only Email and the Personal Database and nothing else - no program files, nothing at all from Windows, and no Registry. I restored using Sprite backup and the "ROM" setting and did not select "Restore Databases".
So after doing all that I started playing around with the phone and noticed a few things missing: the Recognize function of Notes (that converts handwriting into typed text) and MMS. Neither of them exist in any of the menus. When I try to send myself MMS from my computer nothing happens. When I go into Contacts and try to send MMS nothing happens. There is no MMS Folder.
Do these functions no longer exist in WM6? Should I use a different setting and restore again? Am I missing an exe or a dll or something? What are the names of the exe's for these items anyway?
Oh, and none of my email is showing (ironic to me since that was one of the few things I selected to be restored) but I am not too concerned about that.
Thanks.

If I want to start from scratch, how should I go about it? Should I do a hard-reset? Or can I reapply WM6? If I hard-reset, does it go all the way back the way I got the phone out of the box (with WM5)? Or would it only go all the way back to WM6?
Thanks.

MMS I believe you should set up again (use, say, "Network Wizard" for that).
And as long as you have the backup, do a hard-reset and check before restoring it.

So your backup was from WM5?
If thats the case then it probably wont work correctly. Espicially SPB backup.
When I first upgraded I had that problem, the underlying data structure had changed.
I ended up going back to WM5, downloading PIMBackup from this site, then reinstalling WM6 and getting my contacts back through that. That worked for me.
But as far as Sprite Backup I cant be sure.

To save messing around, it might be easier to your network wm6 upgrade instead of the HTC one. That way MMS should already be set up with the correct settings..

I would like to push this thread up, because I also want to know what happened to the Recognize function of Notes (that converts handwriting into typed text). A friend of mine has this function in his german mda III (wm5) but i am missing this on my german htc touch (wm6).
Is it possible to activate this function with a registry tweak or am I missing an *.exe or *.dll file ?

Download "transcriber.cab" or variant. It was removed I suppose for extra space or some such..... That'll fix you up. Cheers...

thats not what I meant. Transcriber is built in and works great.
What I mean is the recognize function. You handwrite a note and save it.
Later you can open that note, go into option, klick on recognize and voila, the text is switched to typed text.
As I said my friend has this option in his older pda, I not.
What can I do to get this function again ?

Cant create new mail account or edit existing

Hi guys,
well this is annoying me, if I go into the messaging options and click on new account, nothing happens.
Also under messaging options, if I click to edit existing gmail or yahoo account, nothing happens.
A hard reset solves it but as soon as restore the backup, same again. Also start again from hard reset is not an option as have 20-30 programs installed over the last year.
Does anyone know the file or dll that is used for mail options, I could copy it into place or understand the registry key that allows this and could export from hard reset build to my backup build.

Ok I know what you want a shirt but what size? Is it for men or women or boys or girls?
Meaning! What ROM are you using? What kinda Hermes you have? What radio ROM are you using? Is there a conflicting program to email that you are installing? You said HR solves it, so that means its a problem with the program that you are installing! Do it one by one and test and see which causes the issue!
Also email settings are maintained in registry, there is not dll for it.

Sorry for minimal information
It is a Imate Jasjam with dopod vanilla WM6 build. So it must be something in the registry.
Do you recommend that I export all the keys associated to mail from the clean build after a HR - I could then import these into the original build once backup restored.
What do you think?
Thank you

EXCHANGE ISSUE: Failed to create the account. Please try again later

Any one know how to force a simple pin on EVO 4g manually. I am unable to sync with my exchange server, as EVO 4g is not supporting PIN and not prompted me for the pin option either. I had everything working fine but after doing hardreset i am unable to sync with my exchange server.
Has any else seeing this issue?
Thanks,
KITO

My wife received the same error when setting up her exchange account. Her company also requires a security pin.
The interim solution for her was to download Exchange for 2.0 by Touchdown. It seems to have ignored the security pin requirement , though the interface is a little hard to work with. K-9 didn't work either. Haven't tried Moxier, yet.
Her old Hero with Fresh 2.1.1 (Android 2.1) was able to sync with her exchange account and configure a security pin. I wonder if the htc mail application from that rom would run under the htc framework on the evo?

Same exact issue after a hard reset!!!!
This is not an exchange issue, it is an HTC issue with activesync. Try to use the ActiveSync parameters to log into gmail. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
It doesn't work!!! This SUCKS!

Thanks for the tip. We tried going through the process again in case we were in the same situation as you (several times in fact), but no luck. We even tried setting up her exchange account using htc mail on my phone (we both have Evo's). It did not work on either of our Evo's.
I think it is unlikely that her exchange provider is at fault, since they created exchange. Does your exchange provider require a security pin?
At least there are 3rd party exchange apps that work well.

Failed to create the account. Please try again later
If anyone got this error and make it it work please post the resolution. This works for me one time but after I reset the device it didn't work :-(

I am having the same issue.. Nothing works, not even touchdown. I can see in Touchdown that simple pin is being requested, but there is no way that I have found to set it up. I *think* this is why it is balking.

same error here...any1 know how to fix???

My company upgraded to exchange 2010 and now my EVO won't sync. Getting "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."
It was working just fine before they upgraded from Exchange 2007.

so i got past the account name screen what i did is i just replaced the mail.apk thats in system/app on my EVO 4G with another one from a rom i had in my hard drive
copy attached mail.apk to sdcard root
open ES explorer and go to settings to enable root explorer and file system
go to mail.apk in sdcard and hold tap to edit then copy
now go to system/app and find mail.apk thats already installed, hold and rename to mail.bak (or whatever)
then just tap and hold to copy the new mail.apk and reboot
it worked for me.. hope it works for you

Hi,
whe i tried your methods to overwrite the mail.apk, it says insufficicent permissions.
Any idea what i did wrong?

The universal fix for the "Failed to create the account please try again later" while adding exchange server on android roms is
1) Add your account in Settings -> Accounts & Sync
2) In the second last step, uncheck all three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
3) Finish the configuration and your account should get created
4) Click on the created account and check back the three options (mail, contacts, calendar)
Hope this help you - I discovered this by chance and it works all the time.

DUDE big up on this I was having a damn tough time figuring this out on my exchange server and its a complex environment

I know this is a old thread but the above did not work .
We had to recreate a user on our Active Directory and Exchange 2010 and when we wiped his HTC Wildfire we cannot setup the exchange account. Keep saying it cannot create the account.
Anybody got any clue all?
