Is there anyway to rename an IMAP account? I have 3 Gmail accounts but I don't want the display names to be the actual email address but names such as Gmail, Craigslist, & Netflix.
It doesn't give you the option to name it when you create a new account & I've looked in the Account Settings & the option to change the display name is grayed out.
Any ideas?
Once the account is created, it is not possible to change the label. If you wish to label the account with a name of your choice, delete the account and create a new one but this time, configure the account manually instead of using the wizard to set everything for you.
I was hoping there was a different way. Oh well, guess I'll try that. I currently have them set as POP3 accounts since you can change those.

Hi guys,
i just found out, my email provider wants me to pay for imap services, so i wanted to switch it to POP3 on my TP2, but there isnt any option to do so...
Does anyone know how to change from imap to pop???
You can't switch from imap to pop3. You'll have to remove your imap account from your Messaging app. Then add your pop3 account. Don't use the HTC Email Setup app. Do it manually in the Messaging app. Also remember to uncheck the box during setup that helps you to retrieve account settings automatically.
Finally found it
Had to use a different email and then rename it to web.de, cause my tp2 saved the web.de settings and used them again and again
Thanks alot

Just follow the 'Tools>NewAccount...>menu to get to the wizard, you'll then get an option to set up the account and on about screen 3 of this you will be asked if you want IMAP4 or POP3. I found it easier to disable the auto settings and go manual.
Does anyone know of a way that you can pick a different "from" e-mail address? I have multiple accounts, but am using Google to POP all the accounts, which I then access via Google's Microsoft Exchange with Active Sync. Whenever I reply (or send new messages), the messages are all preset with the gmail address in the From line, when I would prefer to be able to choose different addresses be entered in the From line.
I also have a Verizon WirelessSync account which also uses a single From address.
The reason I don't want multiple accounts setup in Outlook Mobile is because:
1) There's a limit of six accounts, and I have 13 e-mail accounts
2) Popping addresses every so often eats significant battery juice
TIA
I don't know if this will work for the way you are doing it, but Google Mail has a way to set a different "From" address, so that it looks like you're sending it from another account and not Google.
Go into "Settings", "Accounts and Import" and add your desired "From" address into the "Send Mail As" section.
I am aware of that option in Google, but that only applies to web-based mail. In other words, you have to be viewing your mail online via their web-based interface in order for that to work.
That's why I asked if someone knew of a way, or had a hack, to "open up" the From address field in mobile Outlook.
I have two hotmail accounts that I want to sync at the same time, how do I add two at the same time, it wont allow me to do so.
Also if the above is not possible: since the hotmail account was the first one I entered, it wont allow me to delete it, I want to use the other hotmail account, but since this has been set as default, it's the only email I cannot delete from the list of emails I have added to my TP2 - So basically, how do I change default email address?
Seven might work, althought i've never tried to set up two e-mails with the same service via seven:

yes you can do it, however you would have to start from scratch...
you would have to start from scratch, by removing all email accounts from the device that are hotmail/live.com accounts...you shouldnt have to hard reset to accomplish this...
once thats accomplished, you need to set up your 1st hotmail account, but DO NOT use the windows live app to set it up. instead you need to use the "set up email" app and select "other" and follow the steps to set up your 1st account. make sure to give it a name other than hotmail.
once that is set up, then you can set up your 2nd hotmail account using the windows live app. follow the steps and you are all set
the only negative i can see is that the 1st account will not be "push email" but u can set your device to check every 5 min. the account set up through windows live can be set for push email.
hope that helps...

what you need to do is go to programs > setup email > other
that should allow you to set up your email...
How to setup 2 HOTMAIL accounts
Easy.
Start clean by deleting any mailboxes you've setup.
Once done, Start you 1st Hotmail account but instead of typing in [email protected], mis-spell it -such as [email protected].
(You bypass Windows LIVE taking over and can manually enter POP3/SMTP settings by doing this)
Follow the prompts and type the following for these settings
POP3 = pop3.live.com
SMTP = smtp.live.com
(check) Use same username/pw for sending email
Leave Advanced Server settings unchecked.
Continue the same steps for your 2nd HOTMAIL account.
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.
Hi, I'm trying to setup a new email account and think there may be a bug.
I'm trying to setup a gmail.com account but I want to set the smtp settings to use my pobox.com account so that I receive email through gmail and send through pobox.
I use the wizard which you are presented with when you choose New Account. I choose gmail which fills in the gmail pop settings for you but on the smtp screen I change to my pobox.com settings and continue through successfully.
The problem is when I go back into the smtp settings for that account, the username and password has defaulted back to that for the gmail account which obviously wont work on pobox.com!! When I try to send a mail, it is actually sent through the gmail account and not the pobox smtp even though the username and password have defaulted to the gmail settings but the smtp is what I originally left it at the pobox address
Is this a known bug? Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix?
Thanks
In which app you trying to add new account Gmail app or Mail app? If it's Mail app just fill your account details with gmail credentials and when account is added, edit outgoing settings. Also don't use the wizard, create it manually

I tried that unfortunately The trouble was that when I sent an email it looked as if it had been sent by the gmail account - the settings defaulted back to gmail. The settings will not save!!!
I am using mail app btw.
I have found seen other email clients which have identities so its a shame mail app does not have this feature.
I'm glad you find solution. Yes its real pity, mail app its good app
