How does WM6 store email account details?
One of my pop3 email accounts on my HTC Advantage has vanished. NOt a major problem as I have re-entered the account although I have to call it something else because WM6 somewhere has a record of the previous name.
The REALLY annoying thing is that the today screen is telling me that there are 4 unread messages on that account. I have deleted the messages from the store folder and have found some entries in the registry that relate to the number of unread messages but even after I delete those they reappear.
Any ideas where I can find where WM6 is keeping this information?
thanks
I have found a tool which solves this issue: mailaccountrepair. It did solve my problem.
Brilliant - worked a treat, many thanks.
... would still be interested to know where the account information is stored!

I am running WM6 LVM 03-23 and has been running that for sometime without any issues. I created 2 email accounts in Pocket Outlook (the one with MMS, Text and Outlook) and was able to pull emails (scheduled every 15 minutes).
However, as of this morning, those 2 email accounts disappeared from Pocket Outlook. When I try to add it again, Pocket Outlook complained that the account with the same name already exist. So I did a search in the registry for the email account name (GMail) and saw that it exist.
The problem now is that I can't access those email accounts and I can't added since it still exist in the registry. So what can I do?
I also found out that my BT pairing and GPRS settings has been wiped out from the device! It seems that something in WM6 is causing data corruption or data wipe. Anyone knows?

If you can't fix with registry search/edit/remove, I'm thinking hard reset.
Sorry for that, but I think that's your only option.

If there is a way I can fit it via registry, I'd do it. But I don't know...
Also, is this an issue with ALL the WM6 cooked ROM? I don't want to do hard reset and use another ROM but to find out later the same thing happened.
All,
If you have setup POP3 mailbox in your Hermes runnign WM6, can you tell me the entries in this registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\POP3
I suspect the above is where all Messaging information is kept, thus I'd like to rebuild my missing POP3 mailbox.
For example, the text message mailbox is kept in the above as follow:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS and contains the following:
- FriendlyName : Text Messages
- NewMessage : New Text Message
Did you guys manage to resolve this issue? This also happened to me today and I am not sure what to do and where to start????
Is HR the only way to resolve it? By the way, my gmail account also mysteriously vanished!!!

hi, I created my gmail account and it worked fine. for some reason a few days later it disappeared from my list of available accounts to choose from. I decided to recreate the account and it tells me the account already exists and have to give it another name. so now I have two of the same accounts on my today's screen but one cannot be deleted! I believe this is also screwing up the send/receive mail option as I can't email anyone. is there a way to resolve this? anyone else have this problem? thanks in advance.
Hello! I am having a bit of trouble with email accounts. They show up in Manila but not the Messages app. They consist of 1 Yahoo and 2 Gmail. This problem started when I added my Hotmail. I cannot remove the troubling accounts because they only show up in Manila, not account settings. Do you think removing the Hotmail would solve this issue? If so, how do I remove it? I suppose a hard reset is an option because I have my stuff backed up on MS My Phone and I've been thinking about flashing EnergyROM anyway, but preferably not. I have attached screenshots so you can see it. Thank you for all help and have a great holiday season!

Here's an odd one. If you receive a text message that is MT, the "sender" can be text rather than a number. Obviously, you can't reply to it (hence "mobile terminate"), but they're used quite often by companies (like ourselves) for notifications.
Weirdly, when I get such a message, the Desire's SMS app matches the sender to a seemingly random user on my phone (in my case, it's my wife's contact), so that all of the messages appear to have come from her. It's very odd.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Daern
please read previous threads! its a bug and reported to HTC
It's your Facebook friends with stupid entries in their mobile number fields. As above, there's a thread about it somewhere...
This isn't a Facebook issue...I've never used it
Ah, but it does seem to be something to do with contact linking...
Guess the fix is on HTC's side then.
But...
.. it is still very annoying!
My Desire suffers from this issue too.
Bank SMS notifications are attributed to a friend of mine...
This just happened to me, it assigned them to some girl on facebook, looks very weird in my sms history...hope they fix this as i haven't been able to find a workaround yet.

The same thing happened to me and I was able to fix it:
I managed to sort it out. I took off facebook contact syncing, removed my facebook accounts from facebook and friendstream, rebooted, readded the facebook accounts leaving contact syncing off and this solved it. I'd rather not have my facebook contacts showing in my phonebook any way...

Can you still link FB accounts to contacts tho on an individual basis? I want the profile pics for my contacts but have had a few issues with these SMSs coming up as a friend...
Just out of curiosity, did you guys hard reset your phone, and use the built in backup tool?
Ok, sorry for the double post (I started another thread, but pred text screwed up the title which (for some reason?!?!?) I can't edit?).
Anyway, if I add a new contact to my phone as a Google contact, it won't save, or rather, it initially appears to save, but then for some reason is removed from the contacts list.
I'm also unsure as to when the problem originated, but I have a feeling it's been happening for at least the lat 6 weeks, but unless it's a new contact which will be used frequently, it won't be spotted for a while, which is shy int's only recently I've noticed the issue.
so, any help would be great - this is a very infuriating bug.
Edit: I should add - I have upgraded to Froyo (Tmobile OTA - initial german!?!?! release for UK market).
Cheers!

Go to people>menu>view and see if Google contacts are set to visible. maybe that's the issue
I actually have a similar problem i hope somebody can hel with; i have 2 google accounts, one work and one presonal and even though i can save contacts to both accounts, and both are set to sync contacts, i can only see the contacts of one of my accounts, the other just won't show. I have set the "view" settings in contacts to show eveything but still, the contacts from one of my accounts just won't show.....!
Is there any possibility there is some setting in my google account that is not allowing it to share the contacts with my phone??
Thanks in advance
I have found a solution that will probably work in the cases stated above: in your google account go to contacts, and move or copy the contact you want on your phone from "my contacts" to "starred in Android", that did the trick for me!!!
Best of luck!
But the problem for me isn't adding contacts via a website - it's inputting them into my phone, and them staying there in the first place.
I don't know if it's random contacts that aren't storing because I've no idea how long the problem has actually been prevalent.
In People/Menu/View - I have SIM ticked (0), Google (364) ticked, Show auto Gmail contacts not ticked, Myphonebook (0) ticked, Phone (4) ticked (I'm not sure why I have 4 phone contacts as I don't recall entering any in as phone contacts), and Twitter (0) not ticked.
I've now ticked "show auto Gmail contacts".
I've just remembered something - I changed over from Googlemail to Gmail as my email address - could this be affecting things? Gmail addresses were only made available (allegedly) to UK users recently.
So, any thoughts on this people?
Cheers!
Just synced my gmail version of my account to my phone (I think) and no change.
Anyone know if the UK gmail email addresses are .com, or .co.uk?
ie [email protected], or [email protected]?
I've been on quite a comprehensive "google" and from what I've found, it sounds as though this problem has arisen from the Froyo update.
I have tried various things to fix it - dumping caches - exporting contacts to csv - clearing all contacts - syncing to clear - and then reimporting contacts into gmail, and the syncing again.
Again, this hasn't solved the problem...
Still at a loss.

I had mine changed from googlemail to gmail and it stayed as .com
Heard somewhere you can change it to .co.uk be that's not the default change.

Solved the problem, but it took a factory reset to do it.
That being said, Froyo now seems a good deal quicker.
After reset, I had over 100 meg phone storage left (can't remember the exact number).
Any ideas what should be the phone storage on a just "cleaned" phone?
I've still got the dodgy german apps that I can't use on the phone, and these can't be installed from the phone.
What's the best idea?
