I just re-flashed the ROM of my Wizard and used Sprite Backup to restore my SMS messages. Everything works great. But...
Now I have on the Messaging Today Plugin an old e-mail account showing with unread messages. This e-mail account is not installed on either the Wizard or my desktop I used for syncing. I can highlight it on the Today Screen but when I click it doesn't go anywhere.
I've search entire registry and deleted all instances of the e-mail account and/or account name. I've even tried creating a new account with the same name (it doesn't let me as it says its a duplicate). Either way...everyting I tried has yet to solve it.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
When you don't have any precious mail in there, you can use for example SKTools 3's mail database cleanup utility to clean up these databases completely.
Menneisyys,
Thanks for getting back to me. I've tried what you have suggested. First backup the entire phone again. Then did the following:
1) Deleted all e-mail accounts in PIM
2) Deleted all registry entries with any information linked to e-mail account name or account's e-mail address
3) Ran SKTools' Messaging cleaner and deleted all files
4) Ran SKTools' Databases cleaner and emptied all fldr* files that aren't matched to SMS messages. I was unable to delete any of them. It would just say "1 process" but when it re-scans it will still show as 356 bytes.
5) Ran SKTools' Delete PIM info and emptied all MSG for all e-mail accounts. Once again I was unable to delete any of them. it would just reduce them to Zero bytes.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Probably not very helpful now but if they are POP email accounts you are supposed to delete them before the backup as they cannot be restored to a new ROM or Device.

From unkonwn reason I cannot see or access my SMS inbox. When I go into my inbox, I am able to see only the Active Sync inbox, the SMS inbox has gone away.
Any ideas how to show it again?
your sms inbox database & ou active synch database are deleted, the possible reasons for that are either you restored from a backup file where your inbox was not included or you used the Database view program & accedently removed it, in both cases & to my knowledge you have to hard reset & restore from a backup you did
Where are e-mail account & unread files held?
Hi there, hope you can help.
I have an HTC Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S) and recently restored a backup using
the latest Sprite Backup for WM5.0.
It kinda half restored my one POP3 e-mail account, in that the account
appears on the Today screen showing '59 Unread', but not in the Messaging
program folder list. I.e. it's there, but not visible and I can't see the
Inbox etc.
When I try to recreate the account using the same name, Messaging won't let
me as 'an account already exists with that name'. So, it's invisible.
I've tried removing all entries of the account name from the registry, but
after a reboot they reappear, it still shows Unread items, and I can't
recreate the account.
How can I completely remove this account, to start again?
So i backed up my wizard. It had an email acct called 'pop3'.
i restored it but then i had to create a new acct and this time i named it 'gmail'.
so now on my today page, i always see: POP3: 2 unread messages but my system no longer has this account on it.
I have a feeling these two msgs are stuck in the cemail.vol file.
I searched and searched and cant figure out how to kill this file so that i can just resync to get my msgs and rebuild that file.
Any way to do this?
no ideas?
Hi, can any of you Gurus help?
Installed spb Diary earlier and noticed that it shows up two email accounts I thought I deleted long ago........
However, I cannot open an inbox for either of them and when using the standard email program they do not exist.
Is there any way to delete the properly? eg a folder or registry location for the relavent files/ info?
Any suggestions would be graty appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I have the T-Mobile MDA Vario II (Windows Mobile 5). My problem arises when open Outlook E-mail. I can see the headers from my new mail. When I click on a message I see the animation (as if Outlook is going to open the email) but no email appears and the "header list" is still in sight.
The same problem with Hotmail and other mail-account, but NOT with textmessages and MMS.
Also I cannot create new mail anymore (not from "new" in outlook, but also not from contacts=>email=>select account.
Does anyone know a solution or is someone struggeling with the same problem?
looks as your PIM database (aka message store/storage) is corrupt.
there are ways to work around it, all involve losing messages.
firstly, backup the device.
secondly, you may want to delete database pMailfolders using sktools databases browser,
or you may want to hard reset and restore from backup EXCLUDING mail.
Note that relation with your Exchange account (if you are using Activesync DirectPush) has to be reestablished, just delete marriage and set it up again.
Thank you for your reply. I bought SKTools to do the job for me (hopefully).
Is deleting the contents of the database enough? Or do I have to delete the whole Pmailfolders database?
