Forgive me if this has been done before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. Basically, I have created a new email account in the "messaging" program on my O2 XDA Mini-S.
What I want to do, is remove this account. However, try as I might, I just can't find the option anywhere. I looked in the manual, I've looked around the web, so I thought I'd ask you guys if you know how.
I don't have any email programs on my PC, such as Outlook, if that's a problem?
Any help would be appreciated on this matter.
EDIT: I just worked out how to do it. So simple in the end, why don't they put stuff like that in the manual?
Anyway, I guess a mod or whatever can close this thread now.
ok so the answer is...
call me stupid but i still can't find the delete option... I setup a gmail account on imap in error and can't remove the account.

Open Messaging then Menu>Tools>Options>tap the gmail acount for few secs and it will give you the option to delete, and you're done.
Hope it helped.
thanks
Thanks! That did it.

I am having a problem with the email app, and wonder if anyone has seen this or can suggest a solution.
When I open the app to add an email account, I get a window which (patronizingly) explains how I will be done in 2 easy steps; I hit Next; I get a window asking for url and password ECXEPT this time the Next box is grayed out. I can't hit Next! There is also a "Manual Setup" button next to the Next button but it is also gray and I cannot press it either. My only option is to escape. I reset to factory settings. Same problem. There must be a defect in my factory settings? Is this a symptom of a bigger problem? Can I fix this, or download a fresh copy? How do I check email?
thanks to anyone who can solve this riddle,

have you tried entering your email and password?
yeah its not URL is email you put in.And the email app sucks anyways. go to market place and download k-9. Its much better, with the same type of easy setup.
Of course I've tried that. For instance, I type: mail.pas.rochester.edu. and [password], still nothing. And why would "manual setup" also not work? I don't want load my phone with redundant apps, and iif this one is not working how do I know there isn't a greater problem?
Its not asking for a url or your email server ip. Its asking for your actual email address. ie [email protected]ter.edu or whatever it may be.

What type of email are you trying to set up? I had the same problem when trying to set up my hotmail account. It wont accept much except gmail, i think?
it accepts most pop3/imap style email boxes
E-mail configuration on G1
Hi friends,
I have another problem with e-mail (POP3/IMAP) application on G1.
Everything's working fine except the e-mail automatic checking (that could be set up on some period of time) and deleting messages from the server.
1. Automatic checking (for POP3 or IMAP settings) is not working - don't know why... So, I have to check e-mail manually by clicking in Inbox or using refresh button
2. Deleting messages (for POP3 settings) is not working at all. Even if it is set up to delete messages from the server and message is deleted - it is going to Trash folder, then if it is deleted from Trash and refreshed it is still existing on the server and in the Trash folder on G1. I really don't know how to get it working... I have tried a few settings and it is not removing messages from the server at all.
Is anybody have it working? Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards.

It is the same for me using [email protected] with the correct password, just keeps saying that the username or password is wrong, which it isnt.
Hey,
Since ive had my blackstone ive been having this issue, it isnt a great pain in the ass but nonetheless should be solved. I've configured my gmail account on it, but when i send an email with my blackstone it appears twice in my gmail outbox. The recipient however just receives it once. How can i fix this?

I had that case ones when use IMAP. I could fix it with disabling the option "keep copies of sent items in sent folder" in outlook account settings.
i cant find that option, can you specify were it is?

In Short: it is the overview as you would set your email Singnature
Choose Email-->Select an Account overview-->soft buton Menu-->Options..you will see your setup email accounts-->Message option... Keep copies of sent etc. un check it
merci, found it now!

My friend has this phone with T-Mobile. The issue that he is seeing is that he can get his emails off the server and send them to the Trash. However, when he tries to delete the messages permanently from trash they disappear from his phone for a short time and then come back. So it would appear that the messages are deleted from his phone but not the server, so when the phone syncs with the server they reappear.
I told him about this site and he has searched for this issue with no luck. I have also searched and have decided to post this for assistance.
Thanks for any help you guys can give us on this.
Edit: I should mention that this is happening with his Comcast email, gmail works fine though.

He checked this and it does say delete from server when I delete from inbox.
the strange thing is that he switched from this to Never Delete it just went back to his inbox and then he went back in and it was still on "delete from server when I delete from inbox".
He tried again and they still do not delete.
Any other ideas?
email settings
He may need to log in to his email on his computer and see if it has a setting to keep mail on the server after it has been pulled using POP3 or IMAP. I have not used comcast email but that could be an issue.
I was having the same issue on my Nexus One. But to add on to it even when I marked messages as read they kept coming back as unread and was constantly sounding the new email notificatiion. I wiped and set everything up again and continued to have the same problem.
To resolve the issue I just set up to pull from my other yahoo POP accounts in gmail. Now I don't have the read items reaccuring. But I don't have the option now to delete from the yahoo server if I delete in gmail. But I guess I can live with that.
I guess the other email client still needs some fine tunning. But of course gmail works great. Was a little disspointed about this coming from a blackberry but the other pluses really outweighs this little stint.
I sent him your suggestions. He is going to try it soon. I will let you know what happens.
Thanks for all your help.
Comcast hsa an option in their settings to keep mail on server when downloading via POP. have him uncheck that setting in his comcast webmail. This will fix the problem
I have had my HD2 for a few weeks...love it. However was doing some customizing tonght and suddenly my gmail account is screwed up. It shows two folders but when I click on the gmail one it only goes to the hotmail one. I try to add it and it says it is already there. I am sure if it some simple thing I am missing. Help!!
just delete all eaila ccounts and start over. go to the email tab, menu, account settings and trash them...then set it back up
]seems my hotmail account doesnt want to delete or allow me to chance email addresses. when i try to delete it gives the a grayed out delete box. every other email account can be deleted with this same box which is not grayed out. anyone familiar with this or have a way i can delete and then recreate my account?
thanks

thanks for that very helpful response. ill be sure to return the favor.
UPDATE:
i figured it out. you have to use the live update icon and go into the "switch accounts" prompt. then simply click through without actually creating an account and it will delete the current account.
i cant believe how backwards this is but thats how to do it.
best,
