Dear all,
on CM 13.1 I saw all my accounts in preferences under account (in German: Konten).
E.g. Whatsapp, Threema or my mail provider app.
I deleted my main mail up, re-installed it and entered may account manually. But it will not be shown under accounts.
All apps are working properly but currently I see only my google accounts.
Is this a new behavior or is there a mistake?
I did a dirty flash to lineageos from cm 13.1 on my S3 (i9300).
Even a clean flash brought no change in this behaviour
Thanyk you!
Best regards,
Thomas
Hi,
I have the same issue on my kipper. I installed some apps that need an account for synchronisation, but I can't create an account for these apps. Only options are Exchange, Google, IMAP and POP3.
I also can't edit or delete other accounts.
I think it's a bug and wait for the next nightly.
Regards
Ralf
Hi everybody,
just installed 14.1 on my Galaxy S5 and noticed the same behaviour, I only see my Google Account under "Preferences -> Accounts".
What is more: When I want to add another account, the only type I can choose is "Google", but I tried to set up an ActiveSync (Exchange) Account. Even IMAP and POP3 can't be found... (posted here, too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/help/activesync-account-14-1-t3564661 )
@RalfOE : Did you have the account types Exchange, POP3 and IMAP right after installing LineageOS even without GApps?
Any hint?
Thx in advance!
Snoopy
After clean Installing the last Nightly for my S5 (klte) (lineage-14.1-20170301-nightly-klte-signed.zip) the account preference page again shows all acounts, not just the google one, so this seems to be solved
Same for me. Clean install seems to be the solution.
Cheers,
Thomas

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.
Yesterday I finally bought a Desire, after few days of Android test on my Kaiser device.
On Kaiser I succeeded to create an Exchange account for my company email and to sync emails, calendar and contacts.
On Desire I receive an error regarding the server settings. I installed Roadsync and Touchdown and for them everything is OK.
Could be a problem related to the company certificates?
How I can solve it?
Thanks!
I installed the stock Android 2.2 email app and now everything is OK in the email side.
But the calendar and contacts are still not sync.
What exactly are your settings, where and how did you configure these, which Exchange version do you use and what is the resulting problem / error message?
kata2008: in the server settings try to put the FQDN of your server or in otherwords the complete name and domain name of the server
example:
ex10.mydomain.com
Hello,
For server name I'm using the ip address.
HTC Email application create the errors. I installed the stock 2.2 email app and now is OK. I can sync the emails.
But now I have another problem: I can't sync contacts and calendar. I installed the stock 2.2 calendar application, but is no link to the stock email application.
As I see, I need to use the stock apps, not the HTC provided by Desire.
Do you now how I can install correctly stock 2.2 email, calendar and contacts apps?
good to hear that worked for you. i dont know if you could install the stock email for it is included with Sense.. As i know you need to use the RUU..
@kata2008
Please read this thread. Perhaps this is you problem too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749886
Finally, a step ahead.
I installed the 2.2 stock email app, I restarted the Desire and now I can sync emails and calendars.
I can sync contacts only from Exchange to Desire, but vice verse is not working.
If I want to add a contact in People, I can't choose the corporate account, only Gmail, SIM, Phone.
Do you now how I can fix this last step?
Hi!
I have been searching an answer for this but haven´t found anything. I would like to sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks betwen my phone, google account and exchange server.
For example, if i add a contact or event to my phone´s calendar/contacts i would like it to automaticly sync to my exchange server account and also my google account.
Is it possible ? If yes, how ?
I have both accounts on my phone but when i create an event i have to choose were to sync.
Also i would like that the contacts and events i currently have on my phone were synced to exchange.
hey there.
I just changed from an Acer e39 trisim (4.4.2) to this phone and I am using the stock CM OS rom (12.1.1/5.1.1).
My problem is that I cannot get my Exchange calendar to work and I am wondering if that is a problem with the Android version and/or the CM changes. I added my Exchange account under the accounts section in the android settings. Problem is it only shows me the option to sync my contacts and my mail but not my calendar. The calendar works fine in my old phone and also on my Nexus 7 (grouper, 2012). The Nexus is running the latest stock Android (5.1.1) rom.
As a temporary fix I have installed the MS Outlook app. That app does not use the "system" accounts but instead you have to setup your account "in-app". This way I can access my calendar. However I would really like it to work through the system-apps so I can use other calendar apps.
Can anyone confirm this problem or might even provide a fix for it? If this is not a special individual problem for me does the calendar access work in the newest nightlies of the cm mod (cm13x)?
thx
/edit:
okay I googled a bit more and found a thread on the CM OS Forums. The guy said just reinstall boxer mail. That by itself did not do the trick for me. I uninstalled boxer mail (need to delete your exchange account off the phone and remove security rights for that) then installed Google Inbox and then reinstalled boxer Mail and added my exchange account again. I un- and reinstalled those apps a few times but this approach finally works and my calendar is syncing right now.
hope this helps someone.

Could you point me towards that CM OS forum thread and elaborate a bit on how you removed Boxer mail? I can't find where to change the security rights for it (sorry, quite noobish question, I know )
I removed Boxer email just by going to settings / apps / downloaded / boxer / uninstall
I removed the Boxer calendar by opening the calendar app - it then prompted me to update it. The update link took me to the play store entry for the calendar, and the uninstall option there worked.
I added my exchange account into the gmail app, and use an app called Touch Calendar to view my (personal) gmail and (work) exchange calendars overlaid on each other.
Hi all
I've been on the official Samsung rom until now, and have recently installed the CM rom (cm-13.0-20160702-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx).
I'm trying to connect to my work Exchange account.
When adding an account I have an option to add an Exchange account, but not an Exchange ActiveSync account
When I trying creating the Exchange account it refused to accept my password.
Does anyone know of a way to get the B]Exchange ActiveSync[/B] account option?
If not - I've installed Blue Mail which has very nice support for email, but not for calendar. Does anyone know of a good way to sync the exchange calendar into the google one?
Thanks
