Removing Outlook Email from Brightpoint

I just flashed to the new Brightpoint ROM. I tried to setup an Exchange email. Before, I think it just use to say Text Messages, MMS, New E-Mail Account. Now, under Messaging, it shows Text Messages, Outlook Email, MMS, and New E-Mail Account. I was wondering how do I deleted the Outlook Email? When I try to go to Outlook Email and then select Menu, Delete is grayed out and I'm not allowed to select it. Anyone knows how to remove it?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I had to go to Activesync > Menu > Options. Select MS Exchange > Menu > Delete.

Problem with E-Mail accounts

Hi!
I wanted to set up my mail account on my TP2. After entering the data i saw that i just typed in my mail address incorrectly. After changing the address the account does not open anymore, nor can i delet it - it actually does nothing. Do you have any idea how i can delete it?
regards

click mail tab
press menu
press accounts
press accounts
highlight the account you want to delete
press Menu
Press delete

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?

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?

odd problem editing mail accounts

So basically, I can't edit my existing email accounts anymore. I go to the mail tab, click menu, accounts, accounts and it takes me straight to my mail inbox but does not bring up email configurations. A soft-reset does not fix this (and I'd like to avoid a hardreset). I am able to bring up the new account wizard. Any ideas on why I can't bring up email settings?

When you're in your inbox, tap "Menu" (right soft key), then "Tools", and then "Options".

Phantom Email Account

My boss has a Verizon branded Touch Pro 2 that has a problem I've never encountered. I set up her email account for her (we host our own email, she is connected through IMAP) when she first got the phone. She now has another email account showing on the TF3D Mail tab that is not the account I set up. The account I set up is still there, but there is an additional account there that I cannot remove. It's like she started setup of a new account and then cancelled out of the setup. There is no way I can see to delete this other account. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Go into the WM messaging client. Mail Tab > Inbox. In the dropdown at the top-left of the screen, can you see the account? Or, try swiping left or right in the WM messaging client until you are in the "phantom" account. Maybe try Messaging client > Menu > Tools > Options > look for the phantom account and press/hold to delete.

Unplug from USB and turn on Airplane mode. If the account is trying to send/receive, then the delete options don't work. If you can't find the delete button, press and hold down on the account and the popup might have a delete.

Can someone answer these for me?

Its been a week since i first got my desire and i am absolutely loving it but i have a few questions about it:
1. How do you turn off the vibrating feedback when dialing a number in the keypad?
2. In the Gmail app, how do i set it to auto check for email when i open it, currently when i open the app i have to manually press refresh to get it to check my inbox.
3. Another concerning the Gmail app how do i get it to check my inbox every hour?

I have the manual but not the phone (yet) I think I can help you with #1 and #3
1) Page 67 in the manual: "On the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input.
Other settings.
Vibrate when typing.
Select to enable vibration feedback whenever you tap a key on the keyboard."
3) page 73 in the manual: "Changing account settings
You can change settings such as the sync frequency and the types of information
synchronized, the kinds of notification you receive, and the way that account information is
displayed.
Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Accounts & sync.
Tap the account that you want to edit.
Edit the account settings."
I don't know about #2 but I hope this can help you with your other questions.

thanks for this.
will have a solid read when i get back from work later.
does anyone know the answer to no 2? its kind of annoying that the Gmail client doesnt check for new email when you open it?

the Gmail app is set up for push by default when you sign into your google account during set up.
it is a push mail client, and emails should come in as soon as they are received (or within a couple of minutes) as long as you have an active internet connection.
