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

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!
A few months back I was messing around with MSN options and it added Hotmail to my list of email accounts on my 8125 and it gives no option to remove it. I don't want to check hotmail and never will. How can I remove this? Also, in my list of email accounts is also Outlook Email. Can this be removed also?
Select messaging, Hotmail(or whatever you named the account), menu, tools, options, touch and hold the account name and a delete option will appear. Bye Bye....
Wouldn't this technically be a question about email removal, not email setup?
But seriously, yeah, it's just as easy as tcestes says.
I believe it is a question about removing an account that was set up. Your mileage may vary.......
I've already tried that, guess I should have mentioned it. Actually when I go to Menu, Tools, Options.....Hotmail & Outlook Email are NOT even listed under the accounts. But if I go into my email and click at the upper left for the dropdown menu of all accounts, there they are.
hello guys, i recently installed the htc home customizer, and i think ever since then (although i'm not sure if it was also from before), whenever i connect to wireless internet, i cannot receive updates to my inbox in my GMAIL account...
before i used to be able to go to the comm manager, activate the wireless feature, and within a few minutes, i would get automatic updates to my email inbox...i am talking about the inbox where when you press the message button, you get to choose between text message, outlook email, windows live, etc....so the problem again is how the Gmail account doesn't update the email anymore, and it always says "0" for mail received.....i even went further and clicked on the gmail, and then pressed the right soft key to access the "menu" and hit "send/receive"...after doign so it said "connecting"...."logging on"...and then "looking for changes" and after that "finished" , no luck
can anyone PLEASE help me out? perhaps there is a way to reset the email? i even deleted the gmail account, and made a brand new one, of the same account, and still no luck
thanks a lot guys, i really appreciate it
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?

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.
