Phantom Email account - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

so I have deleted my email accounts, both of them but manilla still shows one of them. When I click on it from the manilla tab, it does not do anything. I can flip thru them as if they are still there but I can not open the email like normal. Windows knows that it has been deleted but manilla still thinks it is there.
Anyone know of a way I can delete it?
Thanks,
Jeff

If you're not going to have email accounts on your device, then why not just remove the Mail tab altogether?

I want email, I have two email accounts, but with this phantom, which happens to be a copy of my work email, it shows three.
When Make the new account called "work" it it says that I already have an account named work and I have to name it something else.
When I look at the accounts in windows mobile, there only shows two. Manilla is convinced that there are three.
I have tried to search the registry to delete all things named my work email once I deleted both my accounts but it is still there.
Anyone have any ideas?
THanks,
Jeff

Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am sure that a hard reset would do it but the issue is not worth that, I would rather just find a fix for it.
thanks all,
Jeff

does disabling sense allow you to create the work e-mail?
double check all registry entries, it most likely won't be labeled work either.

I've encountered this in the past but can't remember how exactly I got rid of it. I remember I used a program such as memmaid, sktools or pocket mechanic to delete the phantom account and then just readded it. I've been checking my phone to find out how I did it but as of yet i've not found it. Will post back as soon as I do though.
Sorry I cant be much more help at the mo, but just know this issue can be fixed without a hard reset.

I used the mailAccountRepair file from this thread to do the repair, then I was able to see it in the winmo email and delete it.
thanks all!!

open sesame
i just attempted to access my live.com email account and was greated with this msg...it may or may not be related...
"We're doing some maintenance to improve the service. We apologize for getting in your way. Please try again in a few minutes. If it's been more than an hour, tell us you're still waiting."
thx again, but i didnt even get that message,it just said that it synced and i had no new emails,hopefully it is a fix that microsoft is working on. thx again
check your account settings. Sometimes the password is not saved or some setting is not what it should be. I encountered the same issue with yahoo. Am not familiar at all with account settings so it was easier for me to delete the account and create it again. Upon creation I had not issues.

Contact picture not showing up on messaging app anymore

The facebook pictures for my contacts used to show up on the stock messaging app, but after restoring a nandroid it doesn't anymore. This is also the case with other messaging apps, so I don't think it's related to the app.
Is there any way I can make messaging apps show contact pictures again? (the contact pictures are still there btw - checked the dialer)
Have you checked if your FB account is still linked and set to sync? If yes, try removing & re-adding it. If all else fails, try linking contacts manually.
I'm not sure about the stock app, but is there a part in the menu that you need to tick to show contact pics?
You could also check your accounts and make sure that the facebook sync is turned on etc. I'm just throwing ideas out by the way, I'm not really sure lol.
Edit: beaten to it by John!

Ah, I didn't try the obvious one. The account was still linked and was set to sync, but I deleted and re-added my facebook account and now it's working.
Thanks for the help guys . I should have tried this before posting a new thread here, my bad!

I thought this was going to be a more serious problem but all I had to do was re add my facebook account thanks for the help!
thank you so much. I was searching for a while, but turns out to be a simple fix.
i had the same problem and i have managed to fix it by this way, thanks.
however i have another similar issue which i couldn't fix until now. even if sender's facebook or profile picture seems, my own picture doesn't seem at the conversation.
is there anyone who managed to overcome this problem??
I'm having this "odd" problem too.. however I do have facebook sync-ed (similar to leventmann i guess)
The problem appears to be that the messaging app thinks the contact comes from the SIM (thus lack of profile pics).
Short of deleting the contact form SIM, i've managed to 'trick' the phone into using the facebook/google contact by fiddling around with area codes.
However, whenever I have the contact pic, I then get this "ugly" extra (M <mobile numb>) appended to the name:
ie.
John Doe (M 1234567890): blah blah blah
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which I guess is 'ok', but it just takes up so much space in the message itself (even more so with the new Sense 3.0 messages having an iPhone-like look with messages being left/right speech bubbles)
At first I thought it was because the contact had 2 mobiles associated with the account, so removed (unlinked) one of the mobiles, but problem still exists.
Any ideas on how to keep the contact pic but remove (M xxxxx) ?
Also, is there a way to get the original htc messaging style back? (Sort of like the one you see if you go to "Persons -> <contact> -> Messages"; a basic list of the messages where sender/recipient avatars are on the left...)
I've got a bunch of my contacts "linked" to their FB accounts, but for some reason their pics are all pixelated, I'm currently using RCMix's ROM.
When I was using SGBS ROM the pics weren't all pixelated.. anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's specific to the ROMs mind you.
hmm, no dno't have problems with pixulated FB pics, when I do manage to get the to display they display fine.
Small update...I've noticed something that may be part of the cause of my problems... in the "People" application the SIM numbers/contacts are not shown (I chose to not view them). However, when I open 'Phone' (to dial someone) I see the SIM numbers/contacts!!!
I vaguely remember seeing this in another thread (shall go digging for it later) but wondering if anyone reading this thread knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have changed my ROM from Starburst Froyo to Cool VisionS and i can see my own profile picture now after creating a Google profile with picture.
However now i have this problem above. Pictures are pixelated and i am not sure if it is because of ROM. Another suspicious point is : Before i had "Facebook for HTC Sense" in the settings for syncronization but now in this ROM i have only "Facebook" to syncronize. Do you think it can be related to one of these reasons?
Yes, i found the solution for pixelation problem (at least for my situation)
When i tried to add account for syncronization (under settings - accounts&syncronization) i noticed that there is also "Facebook for HTC Sense" which requires another login process.
Use this account for syncronization and remove simply "Facebook".
It fixed pixelation problem
That did indeed fix the pixelated picture problem for me as well.
The pictures for my contacts in the messaging app are missing though, aside from the few that I have setup to use a picture on my SD card.
have you ever done "fix permissions" from CWM?
permissions's related problem.

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've tried to save my own number to contacts and linked it to my own facebook, but the pic just wont show up? I'm using CM-3.7 rom.
I am experiencing the same issue under stock 2.3.3, from time to time (in a SMS thread, my contact's picture is shown as default). The only solution i've found for this is to open my contact's details and re-add my custom picture.
I can't even find my own contact profile from the phone? Is this someting to do with CM-3.7 ROM or am I just blind? In the stock ROM, it was first at the contactbook, but after I installed the ROM I haven't seen it anymore.

Changing GMAIL account linked to market

This has been asked in a few different forums but I was hoping someone with some developing/coding knowledge may be able to help..
Is it possible to change the gmail account associated with the market on a phone WITHOUT doing a factory reset?
Hoping someone with knowledge of the OS may have a little more insight!
Looks like the 1st account you set up cannot be removed without a reset, at least from what I've tried.
Even if you add a second Gmail account, you can remove the 2nd one, but not the 1st or primary account.
I know that, I was thinking perhaps there is a file somewhere buried on the phone that contains this info that can be edited and pushed back onto the phone after you edit it, if you have root
you can not change the email w/o a factory reset.
doing that will let you change the email associated with the market/phone
(primary email account), but you will loose
all purchased market apps, there is currently no way to do that.
Google knows this is the case.....unless its changed when i checked 2 weeks ago

Like I said, I know thats the standard answer, but the gmail account has to be stored in a file somewhere on the device, I thought maybe a dev knew where it was and/or how to edit/changes it without resetting....

Not necessarily. Could be stored in the cloud and linked to your device ID. Don't know for sure, but it's possible.

Maybe, that's why I asked =)
Apps are tied to your account, not your device.
I don't believe there is a way to transfer account details between email address. This is something that would reside on google's end, not on your phone.

I dont believe this is at all what the OP was asking, he just wants to change his primary gmail account linked to his android without doing a wipe. i dont recall him asking about any "apps" other than the market itself
as far i know, this is not posible. i would recomend using an app like titanium backup to backup all your programs and then do a reset, and restore the apps.
good luck, i hope you find the answer your looking for

Some people use more than one gmail account, if you enter the wrong one in the setup process you are stuck unless you do a factory reset. I think that's why he's asking.

If you accidentally entered the wrong info during setup, just wipe and start over right away (it's not like you're going to lose anything).

Some people don't realize this until they are into the setup a ways. It's a reasonable question, just don't think there is anyone out there that knows where that info would be. It has to be stored on the phone or a factory reset wouldn't fix it. Although i think this might be in the wrong forum

I know any paid apps are linked to the gmail account used to purchase them. Nowhere has the OP said anything about apps, paid or otherwise. The question was simple;
Can I change my primary gmail address my phone is syncing with, and do it without doing a factory reset?
now others have for some reason been compelled to start telling the OP what he can and cant do with apps linked to the gmail account
thats like going to a mechanic and asking him what the sound your breaks are making means, and the mechanic saying "well if you drive into something your airbags are gonna go off"

The OP won't tell us why this is so important. Backing everything up with Titanium Backup, wiping, setting up with the correct account, and then restoring would have taken less time than this thread has existed.
The only explanation I can think of is that the OP is trying to keep paid apps from the current account. There's no other reason to be going through all this hassle.
Following from this (completely reasonable) assumption, people feel compelled to inform the OP that this won't work, since the paid apps will be tied to the previous account. Google's new licensing system is going to make this even more difficult.

But if you do drive into something, most times your airbags will deploy. I think the mechanic is making a valid point and merely trying to warn you.

[Q] email deleting...

Is there a setting Im not seeing that allows emails to actually be deleted and not just from my phone?
My continuum would do it but when I delete emails on my Incredible then go to my email on my computer the emails are still there. I would like to have it so when I delete on my phone they are gone permanently. Thanks
btw... phone is fully stock
If your using the HTC mail client, delete the account and then recreate it: Mail>Other>Manual Setup>under "Protocol" select "Imap." What you are describing sounds like you set your email as "POP."
Thanks! that worked, just didnt know exactly what to search for. All my searches ended up just being same question as mine with no answers.
for anyone else searching for this, this is how its set up...

[Q] Delete all emails from recycle bin ICS

I already asked this question and got an answer, but I have another question. I got this answer:
It's tedious and I agree there should be a select all function but there isn't. Best way is to do it on pc side.
How do I do this? I have looked through all folders on SD card while connected to PC thru USB but can't
find where email folders or recycle bin is, and haven't found on google where desire hd stores its emails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I miss being able to press one button to get rid of all my deleted
emails!
BTW, tried to add this question to previous thread but the forum wouldn't allow it, saying there weren't

If you go into email setting their an option to permanently delete emails from server when you delete from inbox. Try that out if you didnt already.
