I did some searching but it came up empty.
So, I'm asking you guys to see if anyone could tell me what I need to export from the registry in order to be able to put my mail account settings into a customizer.cab for the extended rom

hello all,
anybody using outlook 2003 yet? i'm having problems synching my contacts properly...seems that there is proper synching but when you use your device, some categories are missing, some contacts don't display the same info as in outlook, etc.
so i'm wondering, is it outlook 2003 or should i hard-reset my device(which i'm not too keen on doing)?
any feedback i will greatly appreciate
Thanks,
bree
Hey
Ive used Outlook 2003 ever since I got my XDA 2 so i'm not terribly sure what the syncronisation of contacts was like in previous versions.
To put it simply, if I get some info I want to add as a new contact, I usually wait until I go home and just put the info on the phone temporarily as a note. Many fields are missing, like "other telephone number" and proper formatting of the 'display name' is not possible directly off the phone... e.g. If I save a new contact on the phone as "Tom Smith", im stuck with it being saved as "Smith, Tom" until I open Outlook 2003 to change the display name there.
Also confusing, but not really a problem anymore is Business in Outlook is called Work on the phone... e.g. 'Work Telephone'.
I havent noticed any other problems, except that Outlook 2003 only synchronises the main e-mail inbox even though the phone will display empty folders for everything else such as sent items and custom inboxes.
Unless you're having some sort of other problem you wouldn't get any improvement from a hard reset. Let me know if what you're experiencing is different/worse.

Had the same problem with name being swapped around to Surname, Forename but found a solution! When creating a new contact on the phone click the down arrow next to the name field and enter the whole name in the Last Name field. This will then save the contact in the format Forename Surname. The contact will also be saved correctly in Outlook 2003 unless you specifically want Surname,Forename formatting.

ey, thanks for the replies guys, as for the above situation, you can go to the mail options section in activesync then check the appropriate boxes for folders you want to sync.
Hi,
I've upgraded my XDA Exec to AKU2 and use Sprite to restore my mail (for my text messages, which worked). However, although they don't appear as selectable accounts, the old account names must be stored somewhere because if I try to reuse them, it complains that the name is already in use. Any idea how I can remove these accounts manually? I can't find them in the registry.
Cheers,
Steve
Hi
I hope someone out there has come across this problem and found a solution.
I created a hotmail account and it was working for a while then just decided to stop working. I tried to delete the account and start again but it just wont let me delete it. I have a yahoo account and it will quite happily let me delete that one, but the hotmail account is greyed out so cannot be selected.
I've look through all the menu's and gone through various suggestions I have found on here but to no avail.
I now have 2 email accounts (both hotmail) that no longer work and I can no longer delete.
Help Help Help!!
Have you tried to go to Manila Email tab and press menu -> account settings?
Do it and tell me if you see the accounts.
Are you using SWYPE?
If so - dont use swype anymore as i had the issue that the mail accounts disappeared as the entered data wasnt saved.
If you can open up the account settings just fill in the empty fields like pop/imap server and smtp server and password if it disappeared too.
Holla at me if you still need help and figuer out that i was right
Hi
I'v look at account settings and the 4 email accounts I have are there, but the 2 hotmail accounts i set up previously (the one's i'm having problems with) are there but they are greyed out.
I cant select them at all to delete them.
No, not using swype, i'm still on the standard 1.43 rom from 02 UK.
Hi
did you find a solution, I have the exact same problem
Cheers

Just a stab in the dark, but have you tried installing (or if you haven't update Windows Live through the Windows Marketplace app)/reinstalling the Windows Live app?
I know from experience the version off the marketplace is newer than the pre-installed version and overwrites the old version and so may overwrite/get rid of the unworking Hotmail accounts?
and don't forget that if you signedinto the live app it creates an undeleteable hotmail account that only disappears once you log out of the live app
Hi
thanks for the suggestions, the account is not created through Windows live. I created it by putting in the pop3 and smtp details, its been working OK since just after Xmas. Only thing that as happened recently, is that like others have mentions some of my other email account settings got lost. The email account was set up following the instructions in tip 43 from the Tips and Registry tricks post at the top of this forum. I have other accounts set up in the same way and they are working OK.
I am running stock WWE 1.66 rom
Cheers
Andy
Guys, what worked for me is:
Go to inbox through the Mail tab.
Choose Menu.
Choose Tools
Choose Options
Touch and Hold the account and choose Delete.
Bye Bye Greyed out email account.
I have to make a note that some options of Manilla does not work, but if you approach it from Windows options, then it works.
Good Luck, people of XDA.
In my case it was because I was signed in to Windows Live. Just go to the Messenger screen, option, and choose to change account, and press yes. The account will disappear.
Hi Guys
Like a few of us here, after a soft reset, I *sometimes* find that my pop3 accounts have disappeared leaving me with just 'Outlook' and 'Hotmail'
Having posted a thread about this and not got (m)any suggestions I've decided to look at it another way...or at least ask another question
Here we go then:
Is there anyway to export a particular registry setting or settings that would contain ALL my email account details? I've got a registry editor on my HD2...just need to know what to export if it's possible. I'm not fussed about the actual messages themselves, just the pop3/smtp/username/password stuff
Most of the email info is in the databases, not the registry. SK Tools allows you to export email accounts with the Pim info tool. It's the way to go.
Exporting email accounts
Hey FT
Thanks for the quick reply. I've got SK Tools on the HD2. I looked under the PIM Information options and I can see the account names but am I backing up the *settings*? If I select the check boxes for the relevant accounts...it looks like I'm backing up the MESSAGES (based on the 'count' in the message column)
Sorry to be a bit thick, but I want to ensure I'm backing up the right stuff
All you do is long press on an account, and then select 'export' from the context menu. It exports the account as an xml, and it may also export emails; I always delete my emails, so that field is empty for me. To restore, you just select 'import' from the action menu.
The real question is what did you mess up in the rom so that it doesn't save the email settings? Did you leave out any sys packages, or remove xip modules?
search for rapiconfig. It lets you extract Email, Wifi and Sync information. You can find it in SDAutoRun thread.
Brilliant F Ted- no I didn't mess up the rom, AFAIK it's a bug on the HD2 that sometimes deletes email accounts
In WINMO 6.5 i was able to assign any contact in my SIM/phone to an email addy and then when i would compile a email i was able to select from the list of everyone who is assigned with an email and tick as many as i want and then email them.
Now im wondering if there is a way to do this on Droid using DFT stock desire rom or would i need to obtain a third party program to do it or it just cant be done?
Thanks in advance.
*EDIT* I figured it out, the only way was to import all of my contacts from SIM into the phone then once i was able to view the contacts from the phone i had access to more options with additional info for each contact.
