Nope, tried this this morging. It tried to restore my IMAP emails, but NOT the account settings
i used default setting, is this a custom option somewhere?

So far i have not been able to get TiBU to restore my email account settings either. By that I mean logins, ports, servers, addresses. Where is this data really saved? it is not in Email Data.

Try k9 for mails is very good and safe. It has backup for everything except passwords also u can backup it with titanium and have the passwords too.

this works on my galaxy note
It took a bit of time but I have it figured out for Titanium Pro on a Galaxy Note with a rooted android 4.1.2 rom. The steps I need to follow to succeed are:
restore the data for the stock Email 4.0 app and the Titianium Accounts (first item in backup list)
restart the phone right after the restore - if I open email the settings restore is lost
enable email account sync for each email account in Settings->Accounts->Email - it gets turned off during the restore
start email and voilà it's all there

[Q] Backup E-Mail Settings

Hi all,
Has anyone found a solution yet to fully backup your current email settings on the desire so can easily be restored when update or flash a new rom.
I use Backup Pro but there are no options to backup email settings
regards
Titanium backup has the option to backup email accounts, I haven't used it so I don't know if it will fit your needs but just try it out.
cheers will give it a try - it's the only thing that's not backed up on my phone and with half-a-dozen setup it's a pain to redo them everytime i update

[Q] How to Backup Gmail accounts with Titanium Backup

Has anyone been able to successfully backup gmail accounts and restore them using Titanium Backup? I have multiple accounts (work and personal) and it would be nice to be able to restore all of them without having to reenter them manually. I have tried backing up Gmail 2.3.4 and Accounts and Sync Settings 2.3.4 and upon restoring either of them my accounts are not restored....any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

dont think any software does backups on user name and password for gmail unless its a nandroid. You have to find the right gapps that will restore your other stuff. Look around and check since its a nice feature to just put in your info and have all your apps and settings return. Entering your own account information is also like a security issue with google. Dont think your going to see that function with any 3rd party app... Good thought tho I guess
Thanks for the quick response. Ya, the version of GAPPS I have works great I was just hoping to have something like this. I know when I was on Windows mobile, someone wrote a program (SASHIMI) that we were able to input our email, wifi, etc accounts to be inputed when we ran the program...guess I was kinda hoping to have something to similar with Android....guess thats the downside of being a flash-aholic....lol...thanks again for your response.
The ability to backup Gmail, especially if one has several Gmail accounts, with Titanium would be very helpful in the restoration process and repair when then get corrupted.

advice-in restoring email accounts after rom flash

Can you guys share your expertise on how you restore all your email settings after flashing a new rom?
I have become a flashaholic and its a pain re-entering details of my 6 or 7 email accounts every time i flash a new rom.
I use TB (free) to restore my apps.
thanks in advance.
I searched for this by myself just today!
According the changelog of TB ( http://www.titaniumtrack.com/changelog/titanium-backup/5-5-2-1 ) it can backup accounts now on JellyBean. I saw this option in TB (paid version) but haven't tried to restore it for now. Maybe you will also have to backup the data of your mail App.
Anyone can share their idea of how they are restoring accounts??
I don't want to use TB as I hear it causes problems when restoring settings.

Problem with HTC Backup. Incorrect cloud account!?

Hello,
So a few days ago, My HTC One M8 decided to randomly reboot itself. When it restarted it went through the whole optimizing each app (which was weird) and then loaded the home screen. But now most of my stuff has reset itself! I was logged out of every app I am normally automatically logged into. All my photos are still there and text messages. But I have lost every single person in my contact book and call log history! This is what I would like to get back.
I made a backup a couple months ago using HTC Backup. This is what happens when I try to restore the backup:
Apps>HTC Backup>Restore from backup>Checking for saved backup>
Then it finds the backup on Google Drive (G*******[email protected]) So I select the HTC (This Phone) backup and click next>
Then it saids setting up accounts>Choose an account>G*******[email protected]>
Then I get the following error message
"Incorrect cloud storage account"
"Please sign in with the cloud storage account for the selected backup"
Can someone please help? I have opened the Drive app and logged into my account and tried again but still nothing. I assume this problem is arising because of the Drive app or the HTC backup app resetting itself. But I really need my contacts back!
I am running Android 6.0. Not rooted.
Things I have tried to restore my contacts:
Wondershare Dr.Fone
Resyncing contacts on my Gmail, Hotmail etc. (but i never saved them to those)
HTC Phonebook>Contacts to display>All contacts
None of these have worked.
Thanks in advance!
Ok just found out HTC Backup isn't supported with Android 6.0 :/
So with that option off the table.. Is there any way at all that I can get my contact list back?
Ok well seems like I still should have access to the HTC restore function just not the backup function with Android 6.0.
Does anyone know how to help me restore from the back up?
Thanks
HTC restore will restore the backup that you made prior to Marshmallow.
Don't you backup you contact with gmail account ? When you sync it, it will sync your contact ?
The only way that maybe work (no guarantee) is do factory reset. During the setup, it will ask you to restore from which backup that you recently have with Marshmallow and make your selection to restore (don't choose today .. but earlier)

Settings - backup and reset - restore from HTC backup.
I'm on an M8 running 6.0 and I can see it.

Backing up contacts to Google/Gmail is default and automatic. So unless you changed the default, they should be backed up, and will restore automatically, when you login to your Google account.
