Hey I am trying to figure out how to delete an email acc from tf3d but cant find it. I searched the forum but nothing there. I used to be able to do it simply in account management but the option for "delete account" has vanished.
Any help?
No one knows this????

Do you have an Outlook account and activeSync on your computer? Delete the Outlook account on your computer and the email account on THD will be deleted too.
I'm using a new Rhodium rom.
Go to Email Tab in TF3D > Menu > Accounts > Delete Account
If you can't delete it in TF3D then try directly in the messaging app. Then TF3D will see it is not longer there !

i´ve got the same problem with my german touch pro 2.
your tutorial doesn´t work for me. if i press menu it is going into incoming mails of the account.
any help??
if you press the 'x' after it goes into the account and do it all again, the email account you last opened will be highlighted and you will be able to delete it then
I noticed a bug with the email a few days ago. When i hit send and receive it says downloading 1/1001 and freezes for a while.
i don´t know why, but now i can tap&hold on the account and delete it.
maybe i had first to donwload my emails... thanks
I'm having problems with this... I have an account which isn't working, it won't synchronise (inbox empty) and it would let me delete the account. 'Delete' is grayed out.
p_shep, it will be grayed out if it is an exchange account, as it has to be deleted from another spot in the system. Are you using an exchange email account?
Jason
Nope, it's a Yahoo account :-/
It's like a point a click adventure game this...
Found out how to delete accounts:
FRom emails page
Menu -> accounts -> acounts -> menu -> tools -> options
(basically get to the email options page where the tabs 'accounts', 'message', 'address' and 'storage' are shown along the bottom)
Check the box 'display account picker when opening messaging'
Then click:
Menu -> accounts -> accounts
The account picker should be shown
Highlight the relevent account, and it's just menu -> delete.
What a mess. They don't make it easy do they?
I am running BB Connect on my sock TMO TP2, on the mail screen I have 2 system email accounts that are not in use and would like to remove them.
Is there a way to get them not to show there?
You need to delete them from the account picker. By default, this should come up if you press the messaging key on your keyboard. Otherwise, from your inbox, tap Menu, Tools, Options, and check the "Display account picker when opening Messaging".
Once you're in the account picker, just tap and hold on the account you want to delete and tap on the context sensitive menu that pops up.
It doesn't work on the system email accounts that are associated with BB Connect for some reason. There must be a reg hack that will hide them. Or I could remove and reinstall but that is a pain.

OH, welcome to my world. I have 3 accounts that I wanted to remove so I could reinstate them again and I couldn't do it. They don't show up in the "remove account" page. I tried recreating them with the same name but the mail program wouldn't allow me to do it. So I had to rename them and now I have 6 email folders with only three that are active. How dumb.
I tried going through the registry and looking for any files that might be associated with the accounts without luck. I just need to live with it. I don't want to reinstall the ROM to start fresh.
The way I disassociated the original email boxes, if you're interested, is when I realized I didn't want to sync my Outlook box in my phone, so I removed it from the computer syncing program. That basically uninstalled whatever link my Outlook had along with all three of my external email folders. <sigh>
If it is setup to connect using Exchange, you need to remove/change the Exchange server connection in ActiveSync
Otherwise, try this
1. Click the Inbox on TF3D (I'm using v2.1 on wm6.1)
2. Menu > Tools > Options
3. Click and hold the account name > Delete
simular problem with email & TouchFLO
Hello,
I am having a simular issue with the Outlook Mobile and Touch FLO3D. I had 5 email accounts set up. Hotmail, Outlook mail and 3 POP3 accounts. For some unexplained reason this week, the 3 POP3 accounts stoped working, but were still showing up in the TouchFLO email tab. When I checked Windows Mobile email picker and setup, the accounts did not displayshow up. I tried to re-add the the accounts using the same name and credentials. I received an error that the name was already in use. So I added the 3 accouns using different names. Now I have 8 email accounts on the TouchFLO tab, and 5 in the Windows Mobile email screens. There seems to be no way to delete the accounts from TouchFLO tabs. I have also attempted to disable the TouchFLO email and to re-enable. This did not change anything. A soft reset was also no help.

runandgun,
Did you ever resolve this issue? I just had the same problem with two Gmail accounts - my Outlook account is just fine. The Gmail accounts appear on my Touchflo screen but I cannot access them. the do not show up in Account Picker, yet I cannot add accounts with the same name because "they already exist". They also do not show up when I do a "View Inbox" and examine the account drop down.
Thanks,
jisso
I guess this was never solved. I have the same exact problem and was hoping I could find a fix for it here.
Ah. I found a thread with the answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4176780
Hello all, tried to find out how but I could not get my Outlook account that is sync'd through gmail off my phone b/c I would like to try that Seven app. Does anyone know how I can remove it? Thanks
If it's setup through Activesync open it from the start menu and go to Menu --> Options and deselect E-mail.

I think you have to delete it, not deselect it.
In ActiveSync's options, highlight the account you want to remove and hit the delete button near the bottom.

Aah, yep, that would delete the whole account (just saw the option, wasn't aware of it before) and deselecting would remove the e-mail messages but maintain the sync/setup.
Perfect, thanks a lot guys!
I have NO Facebook contacts in my Hotmail account, but they are present on my HD7.
Maybe they come directly from my Facebook account, the first time I logged in using the phone.
Unfortunately, FB people cannot be erased from the phone contact list (the erase menu is greyed out).
How can I have them out of my phone ?
I tried to search the forum already, but the only guy having the issue owns an Android device.
Many thanks

the phone auto syncs your facebook friends list to your phone. to filter them out, goto settings > applications (scroll to the right page) > people > and scroll down and select "only add facebook information to existing contacts".
this has been posted a few times, but it can sometimes be hard to find the right words.
Tnks a bunch pal !

[Resolved for now]
Original post:
I am so mad at my "Hemroid" (I mean android) right now I am about to smash the g-damn screen,,,,
Apparently I am missing something important ?? - I dunno - ... Why do all contacts created in GMail sync to the phone, BUT,
Only "Some" of the contacts created IN THE PHONE sync back to gmail ????
I freaking hate being mad at stupid ****, this is retarded...
Any ideas ?
EDIT:
[Resolved for now]
When you create the contact from the phone, do you set it as a Google contact, or a phone contact?
Sent from my girlfriend according to my current girlfriend
When creating a contact you may have to select it as a Google contact. Try recreating a contact that won't sync, select it as a Google contact, and see what happens.
Make sure that your phone is set to sync contacts in Accounts and Sync too.

Set as a Google contact, and selected the correct email address.
I even tried looking at an alternate email I had, thinking it might have synced to the wrong one - nope...
Just for example, I had created 2 or 3 contacts from my phone, the same way each time, as google contacts. When I synced the phone, only 1 of them synced to gmail...
I though "WTF? maybe I screwed up", so I rebooted the phone, logged out of gmail, deleted the contacts, and tried again.
NOPE !!!
POS "Hem--RRRROOOOIIIIDDDD"........
Anything I create "From" gmail syncs correctly, but only "some" created from the phone synce back to gmail..
And yes also I did double, tripple check that 'background services, auto sync, sync contacts, sync email, default email account, were all correct... I tried repeatedly clicking 'manually sync now' 'sync this' and so on...
NOPE ! Nothing.
"Hem-ROOOOOIIIIIDDDDDD"
Well just chiming in my Gmail contacts won't sync on NY one account but they will on any other maybe try a new account?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
go to your contacts, hit menu, select "view" and uncheck everything but "phone" contacts...those are the ones that aren't syncing, am i correct"
"phone" contacts won't sync
"google" contacts will sync
I would follow the patches advice. I found that I was looking at facebook phone numbers but they were not getting uploaded to my gmail account. I dont understand why there is not a "phone to contact" or "contact to phone" option like sooo many phones in the past. It would be GREAT if there was an android app built for that. I dont understand why they do not have a "Sync ALL" option that will allow you to save all information from facebook/gmail/phone/ect to a single location to use.
I also dont like the "gmail" vs "mail". That may have something to do with it too. I set up my initial gmail account but never got to see my mail because it was always in the "gmail" app and not in the mail.
Anyway, I think that is a separate issue all together.
Good luck

What a dumbass, What a dumbass I am ....
P.S.
ATTN: Hey all future searching dumbasses of America who stumble across this thread: Make sure that you click the dropdown menu that says "Contact type" and change it to Google, every single time you create a contact... And when you are sick or drunk, add them later, because you might end up looking like a dumbass, like myself

ANOTHER PROTIP: every once in awhile go check how many "phone" contacts you have by following the steps in my last post. i also found that i have a bunch of duplicate contacts, you can either link them, but i find it easier to edit via PC from the gmail contacts area. you can select multiple contacts, merge them, etc. when you email people gmail automatically creates a contact, but it's stored under "other contacts". you can move contacts in and out of the different groups, etc. get familiar with that and it's way easier than doing it from your phone.

Good learning, and sound advice for folk.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your input, I had the issue of my gmail contacts wont sync and throws up the error that it cant sync at this time, and it keeps trying and runs your battery dead trying to. this was all after I rooted my dinc s-off, I even deleted all my contacts and it would sync one time successfully then go right back to the same crap.
But I never tried making all my contacts into gmail contacts mainly because I wasnt having an issue until I rooted my device, but here is a bigger mystery, I run Cyanogen7 and dont have any issues syncing anything, only when I run the stock rom.
So I guess I need to be added to the DA list...LMAO
And one last tip if you have a bunch of "Phone" contacts and want to get them all transferred at once: you can export your phone-only contacts then import them all into google.
People > Menu > Import/Export > Export to SD Card > Phone
This will export all of your contacts marked as "Phone".
People > Menu > Import/Export > Import from SD Card > Google
This will re-import everything into the gmail account you select.
This is some good information. My wife was asking me about this the other day. XDA FTW.
