I've successfully set up a couple of pop3 accounts on my XDA Exec, but I let the name of the 1st one default to POP3, and now I can't change it - that option is greyed out when you go through the account options to reconfigure. I can find no way of deleting it elsewhere. Can anyone tell me how to rename or delete the account?
Thanks
When in options select the account as you would if were trying to edit. Select "Fn + Space" you'll get a delete menu
Many thanks jah, totally sorted!

I recently bought a new MDA. I managed to add Hotmail as an account to my Messages. Now I dont know how to delete it. Please help!!!
My hotmail has too many emails and I dont want to sync my MDA with my hotmail account. I can always check my emails by going online, I didnt think about this :lol:
Also I think a hard reset could delete this account. According to instructions I need to hold down the Comm Manager and Voice Command button together and they press RESET with stylus. This didnt work. Do I do a hard reset with my phone switched on or off.
Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.
You don't need to hard reset your device. When you're under the Messenging just go to "Menu" then "tools" and go to "options." Once you're in that screen, tap and hold the stylus on the account you want to delete and a side menu will pop up with delete. Tap it, then press yes. You're done.
Thanks for you prompt reply. I do not see my added account in there. I am in Messeges > Menu > Tools > Options. All i see is Text Messeges and New Account. When I try to click on Menu I see 'Clear Hotmai' as an option but it is greyed out.
Please advise.
Weird. I guess if you're willing to hard reset, an easy way is to go to the start menu, then systems and press "clear storage" it will ask for the password, default password is 1234. This wipes the phone clean and starts from fresh. Good luck
It worked, Thanks.
Future reference.....
Start---Programs---Pocket MSN---Options---Clear saved password
then proceed to the Switch User tab. Tap Yes to confirm.
That's all. It'll remove your Hotmail accout as well as the large amount e-mails you've downloaded from your hotmail application.
No need for a hard reset.
Agg how to delete hotmail account
I too have accidently hit the hotmail account and now have it in my mail accounts. However I can't delete it like I can the others as it doesn't show in my tool> mail accounts, or by switching user and clearing password in Pocket MSN, I've cleared the user from there but the account still appears. I've tried deleting that file from another thread using dbview and access the email.vol
I've a MDA Vario/HTC Wizard. I'm not sure if some of the hacks are different models. I'm starting to confuse myself. So can someone point me to the correct thread or give me a better solution.
Also, like to delete the default outlook account as well. As it doesn't appear in the list either.
Thanks
Can someone tell me how to delete an Outlook email message on my handheld (mogul) without having it delete the same message on the exchange server? My blackberry would prompt me to delete on handheld, or both, which was an option I would like to have. Thanks

When you configure an Outlook or Email account on your phone there is a setting by the end of the configuration that specifies if you want to delete the message from the server or to leave it intact.
You can edit these settings by going into options on the main menu of your messaging screen. Edit your email account. Go through the settings and when you get to the screen with the [Automatic: Send/Receive] [Download Messages]. There is a link at the bottom saying Advanced Settings, click on it. Whithin this menu there is a scroll down option that allows you to either delete the message off the server or to keep it on the server. chose the one you want. Then save your setup.

Thanks for your reply Carlos. The options that you mentioned are available for my POP3 email account settings, but are not available when I enter the options for my Outlook email account. Thanks

Hmm my last gues would be that when you go into the outlook settings on your phone chose only to download the header or a small portion of the email that way it keeps the orginal / full message on the server. That is weird because I delete my email from outlook on my phone and it doesnt delete it from the server unless i go into outlook on my comp and once i delete it from there it will delete it from my phone once I sync.
Why not use IMAP?
I have found IMAP works a lot better then POP or any other feature. It's like a mirror image of looking at your email. Now with google supporting IMAP it's a nice token.

That's right, but with imap account you have to select too in: "option -> stockage [TAB] -> emptied delete folder: immediately".
Otherwise, messages will not be deleted from your computer.
It appears to me that if you are using exchange activesync, then you get exactly what is on the exchange server in the inbox.
I have set up some folders to help keep my PDA inbox uncluttered.
Where do I delete the Email-account I just created just for testing..?
in message menu, click menu then tools then options.
From there select the account to delete and then keep holding down on it till you get the pop up menu, select delete.
deleting exchange email account?
I set up an exchange account, but then I decided I wanted to delete it so I could set up the webmail account instead. I have no trouble deleting a gmail account, but for the exchange/outlook account it won't let me remove it. Any advice or suggestions? I'm tech retarded so if anybody has any suggestions, can they write it so a 12 year old could figure it out? Thanks!
Figured it out!!!
If you're having trouble deleting an exchange account... try this... worked for me:
Start-> Programs-> active sync ... from there, delete your account and it should auto delete it from your email accounts too. Good luck!

I have a similar issue, I set up a "hotmail" account that uses windows live, and even if I set the windows live scheduler to "manual" it still keeps connecting and syncing the phone.
I want to remove the hotmail account setup completely (I have 2 gmail accounts set up perfectly happily), but the "delete" option in Messaging > Options (where all the accounts are displayed), is always greyed out.
Unlike Outlook accounts, the Hotmail account is NOT available via Active Sync, so I can't get at it that way.
Can I remove this account by editing the registry??
AHA!! - I think I just did it! Go into Windows Live, select "Switch Accounts", and then on the first part of setting up a new account, hit the "Reject" button. Windows live disconnects the old account first, by the looks of it.
Solution found, thread closed
Hi, i manually set up my email account for hotmail, but when i out my sim in it made another for hotmail, so now i have 2 hotmail accounts of the same mail.
How do i remove one, there is nothing in the options only edit?
I also have this problem, would appreciate an answer for it!
HTC Sense, Mail tab
Right softkey ("Menu")
"Account settings" option
Right softkey ("Delete")
Select accounts to delete
Left softkey ("Done")
If you want to remove the Outlook account, do so through WMDC.
Thanks for the reply Yunabeco, but I think the issue jrvenge and I are having is that, that option is greyed out so we are unable to delete the account in the way you just described.
Inbox - Menu - Tools - Options - tap and hold on account you wish to delete, select delete after popups menu
Hey thanks it worked, just cant do it in the sense menu, i keep forgetting its a wm phone and you have to go into windows settings to do things not in the sense gui
Argh, still greyed out for me. Gonna kill every process in task manager, see if that helps.

Thanx...!!!
Nope
, i press and hold the hotmail account in the list, the popup has one entry - Delete - but it is still greyed out. Arrrrrgh. Any movement on this issue?
Sam
Oh, simple.
Ahhh sorted it.
Sorted it. Start - Windows Live - Menu - Account Options - Switch Windows Live ID - Confirm the warning - (Reject the new terms of service page if it comes up, this only happened the first time i did this, not on subsequent tests)
and you should find the hotmail inbox and contacts are gone.
Press and holding the account name and finding it greyed out seems understandable now, because more that just the email inbox is conected. If you still want the contacts, log back in to live, but untick teh sync email option.
Hi
I've tried all of the above and other bits but STILL the hotmail account is greyed out.
I went to the options window to remove it and surprisingly its not even listed, but when i look at the email tab, its sitting there?!?!
I've removed the link to Windows live as listed, i've removed all other email accounts in the hope that the hotmail account will become active so that i can delete it.
Hair pulling time!!!!
Any advice pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee
I was also looking for this since now it is possible to use Exchange Sync for hotmail accounts: http://windowsteamblog.com/internat...lendario-y-contactos-exchange-activesync.aspx
To remove it go to MSN, options, change the user login, then Reject. You end up with no hotmail accounts.
Hey guys,
I'm running a miri's cooked rom and have accidentally setup a bad email account with Outlook that I just can't delete!
When I go to Settings -> Outlook -> Email, I have 3 accounts listed there. 2 that I have setup correctly and and "Outlook E-mail" right up the top.
When I select it and choose Menu -> Delete, it's greyed out and I can't delete it!
When I try to alter the account settings and leave everything blank, it won't let me hit "Done" unless there's an entry in there.
