Impossible to sync email account..

Hi All. I had an email account on my PDA ('Steve') which became corrupted, so I deleted it on the PDA and set up a new one with a new name ('Steve's email')
Now when I sync the device I ALWAYS get 630 items to resolve even though the NEW account is perfectly sync-ed with Outlook (I checked the data on a number of new appointments and tasks). It's a LOT of items that I don't *think* relate to the NEW account., although I obviously can't see the exact details, just the 'count'
My question is, is there any way there might still be some data on the PDA relating to the OLD email account? I was thinking that there might be a (hidden) database of some sort still on the PDA that I could delete
I've tried deleting the partnership and setting up a new one under a new name but it doesn't seem to make any difference....always 630!
Additionally, I've got '1' showing in the unread SMS account...but there's nothing in the folder
Am I going mad Doctor?

Outlook E-mail POP3 Setup - Name already assigned problem

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem with the built in email client on my XDA Exec. Every so often the built in Outlook Mail Client seems to "loose" my POP 3 account. However when I try to add it back in it tells me that:
"That name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again"
Now I could keep adding it back in with a different name each time but that is a pants solution. Any thoughts as to how I can permanently fix this issue?
I have trawled through the registry but cannot find within it the name I used when I created the POP3 account.
[I have also noticed that it seems to loose the registration information for SunnySoft Back up as well!]
Many thanks

Change name POP3 in account configuration step 1 or 2 to another like mail1, mail 2. You have to use different names for settings

if only it was that simple. The original entry is no longer visible! So I cannot change it. And I cannot see it in the registry to delete it either. Any idea where does Pocket Outlook store its config information?

No i don't know

Did you ever see "No GSM" when soft reset? Then get your machine replaced. Check my postings.

Cant delete Yahoo email messaging account...HELP

I have something strange happening with my messaging. On my home plugin, for messaging it says: Yahoo! 2 unread......so I click on it, and it brings me to the messaging account picker. I have NO email accounts set up right now, so all I have showing is Text Messaging, MMS, and New EMail Account. If I try to creat a new yahoo account, it gets to the point where you type in Your Name, and Account Display Name.. I click OK, and it says that name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again. I think its referring to the " Yahoo! " account name, but I cant get it to show up anywhere to delete it! Any idea how I can completly get rid of anything yahoo on my phone?

A few weeks ago, I also had an unread mail in one of my account even though there is no mail in the inbox.
Tried all sorts of action but could not remove the unread reminder. I hard reset, restored with Sprite backup, the reminder came back again.
Finally, I did a hard reset, and restore everything except the mail. Then I manually set up my mail account account. The problem was gone since.

same thing here eagle....there could be a fix somewhere out there, but i ended up hard resetting and then reinstalling my accounts....works good now

Hi, you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368812
This is where the accounts are stored in the registry. You might need to delete the one named "Yahoo" or similar, then soft-reset and create a new e-mail account. Hope this helps if you could up a copy of the .reg file I might be able to help.
Hope this is helpful and if not I hope you find your answer soon..

WM6 Sending Account for replies - account picker?

In previous versions of pocket pc (including 2002 and 2003SE), you could hit reply to any message in any account and then compose your message and select the account from which the reply message should be sent
WM6 does not have this option (the "From" field is basically text, no editing/selecting).
Does anyone have a tip trick or hack that will prompt the "account picker" to appear when hitting "reply" to a message. Any help would be appreciated. I have searched and searched. I can't even figure out where the DB is that holds the draft email accounts (thinking I could change it there?)
Thanks for any and all help! I've been banging my head against a brick wall on this one.

Some possible solutions:
1) Move draft from one account to another?
2) Specify the account before generating the reply?
3) Adding something that auto generates the reply (with "RE" in subject, etc) in the correct account.
I have been searching for days. This problem has existed for a while, is there no solution?

Can't delete contacts?

Hmm, so I just tried to delete a contact - (it was actually a contact I added via the barcode scanner - [email protected] in this forum);
Long pressed the contact, chose 'delete contact', answered yes to the question... and hmm... the contact is still there...
Is that a known bug?

Ok, just FYI - yes, there is a bug in the contacts - if your contact doesn't have a first/last name, but has an email - the contact will be named after his email in the contacts list;
When a contact is named after his email, you cannot delete it at all (you'll be able to try, but it just wont be deleted, no matter where you try it from).
To fix that, just give a name, any name, to that contact, and delete it.

I've had strange things like this happen where I delete a person's secondary email or address, and it comes right back.
Same goes for changing a "type" such as Phone (home/work/mobile/other/custom). It doesn't seem to stick and reverts back to the original title.

I think you need to delete the contact from your sim card first, then log on to google and erase it from there, then let the phone sync and goodbye contact.

bwahaahahhaahahahahahawhahahahaa

You could try deleteing it from Google Contacts instead?
