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.

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!
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!

Hello Everybody,
I had a weird glitch show up the other day. I have 2 gmail accounts set up on my phone. They have been working fine for weeks and then all of a sudden they are gone. They show up in the touchflo area and show the last downloaded email but when you click on Inbox the only Accounts that show up are TEXT/MULTIMEDIA & SETUP E-MAIL.
I have tried re-adding the email to see if that would work however it does not download the emails to newly setup email probably because it knows the other one is there and thinks its a duplicate.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Mike
Was there ever a solution to this issue? It happened to me today! Both of my email accts show up in touch flow, however when i select acct 2, acct 1 displays as if it is the only account active? Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks!
Does anyone have any solution to this issue???
Thanks!
Have you installed any new applications recently? Maybe swype? I had the same issue happen after I installed swype and ended up needing a hard reset to be able to reinstall the email accounts. If you have not installed swype, see what other apps you may have installed recently. Chances are one of them conflicts with something else. To know this, you would need to re install one app at a time until your email app disappears.
I havent installed any apps for about 1 month. I installed the IMDB app.This problem just started yesteday. This is a very weird problem when i click on the message on touchflo, its like it isnt there! How do you recommend I resolve it?
Thanks for your help!
ditto - same thing happened on AT&T Tilt 2 yesterday. Both Gmail accounts can't be accessed in either Picker or View Inbox. I can't delete and reinstall them either - "they aready exist". Outlook account works fine. I haven't installed anything new in months. this may be the last nail in the brick.
Hey All,
Had the desire for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm impressed with it, as most of you are as well.
I've come across the following very irritating problem though:
My primary e-mail address is hotmail. Been using it for years and years and I've never had the need to change to gmail. Having switched to android now I understand that I can't sync the phone to hotmail. I have it working on pop which is 'fine' but I want proper syncing of mail and calendars which is not supported.
Fair enough, I thought this was the time I'm supposed to switch to gmail. When I booted the phone up for the first time I was asked for a gmail account for google maps, etc. and I just used one I had created a while back. Now that I'm looking to migrate to gmail completely in order to benefit from syncing, etc. I want to change this e-mail address to another gmail one.
Has anyone managed to do this without doing a factory reset on the desire??
I've tried:
i. Changing the gmail password from a pc and rebooting the phone - it just says it failed to sign in and prompts for the new password, won't let you change e-mail address though.
ii. Clearing all cache's from google related application - gtalk, gmail, maps, gapps, etc. - This doesn't work either as somehow the account information is still held.
iii. Creating a secondary e-mail address and try get everything to use it instead then remove the primary one - didn't manage either. I changed google maps, gmail and the calendar app to use the new e-mail address but it still won't let me delete the other one as it says it's being used by some other app!
Any help would be much appreciated... I really don't feel like going through a factory reset and installing everything again!
Thanks!
Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Accounts & Sync", tap on the Google account en tap on "Remove account". (Go back to all accounts and you can add a new Google account.)

On this subject, my advice to anyone is to get their own domain name and then use Google Apps for Domains.
At present this is what I do for my email, but if in a few years time something better than Gmail comes along, chances are I can repoint my domain to a new mail service and thus keep my email address in perpetuity.
Regards,
Dave

Forgot to mention I tried this as well but it won't let me remove it as it says the account is being used by some application
Really frustrating!
I got this same problem as this old post, but can not find the solution....does anyone know the answer as time has moved on and maybe it is an available solution.
My issue is that I just flashed LeeDrOid 2.3b&c to my Desire. I entered my HOTMAIL e-mail details as the first address at the set up prompt. Now i can not findout how to delete that account.
It seems that the whole Android E-mail setup and operation is not really as good as Windows Mobile! or its operator error ;-)
For my Sync'd HOTMAIL I'm currently using TouchDown and set the server name to 'm.hotmail.com' this thirdparty software allows full syncronisation to my Hotmail account both ways including any folders that i choose, apart from the deleted bin on my Webmail does not get emptied if i delete all from the TouchDown application on my Desire.
On my Gmail i have created my account in the Exchange option and used m.gmail.com for the server, whilst this gives me a view of all the account folders all of them show "no mail" even though i have set the Receive days to 30 days and know that I have e-mails in the folders that are newer than 30 days old.
I really would like a fully operational integrated IMAP set up for both my Gmail accounts (i have 2 account) and one HOTMAIL account, ideally using the built in Gmail and "standard Mail" programs that come with FROYO Sense.
So anyone know the answer to achieving this?
i) How to delete my original Hotmail account entered on start up of my new ROM.
ii) Is it possible to set up withing the Sense builtin applications for Exchange Gmail and also for Exchange Hotmail so that i can do away with hte TouchDown application?
Thanx for any assistance on this.
Does anyone know how to delete an e-mail account that is displayed but doesn't really exist...I'll explain...I have a gmail account that worked fine and one day it just stopped getting e-mails (to the phone). When I went to delete it off my phone it basically told me I have no e-mail account yet when I go to the email tab I can see it. When I try to click inbox it just brings me to the accounts screen, and it does NOT display it. So I had to set up another link on my phone to my gmail account. Now it displays two accounts, one that I can't access and can't delete, and another perfectly working one. Is there anyway I can get rid of it?
I ran the Unread Fix count script and it goes through BOTH email accounts yet my phone doesn't seem to think there is two, it just decides to display two.
This happened to me as well... If I remember correctly what I did to get rid of the ghost account was to create a temporary email account that was not gmail (i just gave fake credentials)... then I reset my device, deleted both gmail accounts, then reset phone again, deleted fake account and finally added credentials for the gmail account that had been giviing me probs. Not sure how important resetting device is, I suspect that the key was adding a non-gmail account. I hope this helps and sorry if my explanation isnt clear... I am still waking up! Good luck.
