How would I do this??? it is so weird... they just are there on my back up but I can't follow or find any files to them..
Hi,
Removing the account is easy:
Start Pocket Outlook, goto menu - tools - options
You see the list of active accounts, just tap and hold the account you would like to remove and the popup menu pops up. Tap on delete and your account will be deleted.
Hope this helps!

NO NO NO... lol tech support just said the same thing... I can't see them... but they are there because when I put the exact same name it says, "you can't have a duplicate account... AND my PBreeze shows them too... but the only active one are the current ones that I have configured correctly.
when this happened to me, I had to hard reset, then used my latest spb backup to back up everything except the mail stuff, then I recreated my accounts, this was what spb advised me to do and it worked.
Good Luck with this.

How about:
1) Restore your current backup.
2) Backup your device again missing out the mail stuff
3) Hard reset
4) Restore the new backup
I might have to do this shortly
That's what I ended up doing, it saved me a lot of time as the only thing left to do afterwards was recreate the mail stuff.
Hope it goes OK

ahhh. lol, I am a dodo head... I see what you're saying now... yes... I get it... lol hmmm wish I thought of that...
however, did you notice problems whith other things as well... for example I use spbtime and get an error all the time can't exucute spbtime.exe notify or something like that... comes up all the time....
I seem to remember there were a few minor issues, mostly with programs that I had installed to my storage card. I think there were about 2 apps which I had to uninstall and then re-install to get everything back to absolutely perfect. In my case the issues arose because I had sent back my original Vario II to t-mobile (screen alignment probs) and they sent me a new/reconditioned machine in return. Obviously things must have been very slightly different, and this led to the mail problem.
Apparently another thing which is crucial is setting the time/region etc correctly after a hard reset.
You could try an uninstall and then re-install of this particular application, or look on spb's forum and ask for help there, they are very good with most issues that come up.
I saw suggested on one forum that if doing a hard reset and complete re-installation instead of using backup, it's a good idea to do an extra backup at the stage when only really, absolutely crucial tried and tested applications are on, a kind of 'baseline' backup. However, I've never been patient enough to do this myself!

How do I remove 'stuck' email a/c & 'unread' Today notice?
Hi there, hope you can help.
I have an HTC Wizard (Xda Mini S) and recently restored a backup using the latest Sprite Backup beta.
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 re-create the account using the same name, Messaging won't let me as 'an account already exists with that name'. So, it's there, but invisible.
I've tried removing all entries of the account name from the registry, but after a reboot they reappear.
How can I completely remove this account, to start again?
I think it is a bug to be honest
I did a hard reset and then restored my sms back to the device using Jeyo
it said 1046 unread (but they were there) and after manually selecting mark as read, it had 1 msg unread even though there was none that were unread!
in the end i had to hard reset it again and its ok now
Thanks but I'm hoping someone here can provide a solution that doesn't involve a hard reset, as that rather defeats the object of having performed & restored a backup at all!

there's some piece of software to repair mail databases. i didn't use it actually but i found it on polish pdaclub.pl forum. i'll try to find a name of this program as soon as possible and let you know.

google for 'Clenmail', that should be it.
Thanks, found it at http://www.spritesoftware.com/downloads/CleanMail.zip
Sadly it didn't do anything for my device's issue however
I'm with the latest ROM and apart the lack of A2DP it is very good.
Unfortunately I restored (with SPB Backup) some pop accounts that are neither visible to remove, nor available to use (arrrrgggg!!!!)
I only noticed it because: - spb diary shows them
- messaging refuses to create a pop3 with the same name (although it doesn't show it to delete or edit)
I know the detailes are stored in a system db but dbview refuses to cooperate. It only shows MSN database ?!?! with 0 records.
Where shoud I go now. I just want to edit the database and delete those crappy email accounts. Any clues? I'm stuck. I made an hard reset yesterday to install the new ROM. Not in a mood to repeat the thing...
help?
C'mon guys! Any clues? How can I delete those messaging ghost accounts?
I too am having the same problem. Everything mentioned above, plus it's still showing my old e-mail acc'ts (and the unread message count) in the today menu. Any advice?
I wanted to report that I tried an idea; however, it failed. I thought I could use SPB Backup to make a new backup in the device current's state (That is, the e-mail ghosting error) and not include e-mail in this new backup. What I was hoping for was to have the device restor everything else (leaving the e-mail out) and, thus, reset the e-mail. For some reason it didn't. The device loaded perfectly. Even so much that included the ghosting e-mail accounts.
I know this isn't a solution, but maybe someone with some more experience can read something into that.
that solution didn't work because the ghost account info is stored in the system databases.
maybe a solution can be found contacting spb because the OS is not showing it. just spb software. maybe it's tagged for not show in database and spb soft is showing it.
another way is using software to edit system databases but it.s a more risky option. and I don't know what's the best soft to do it.
keep me posted if you find a way to clean/hide those accounts.
I've sent an e-mail to SPB. I'll post their response in this thread. Were you able to add new accounts? I still cannot vía T-Mobile's "Send POP Settings To Phone" tool, nor "Set Up My E-mail" on the phone.

Glad Im not alone! I upgraded to 2.21 and restored my email from 2.17. I think that was issue. I had this happen once before with original OEM ROM upgrade to 2.17 and had to cold boot and start over again. Just too tired.
I hope there is an answer from Spb. thks for emailing them.

I get the feeling that the key thing here is not to restore email from Spb Backup after u just upgraded ROM, like I did to 2.21. Then Diairy would not have email accounts, and u could create new accounts with outlook. I have a 3rd party email editor just incase I need email, but pain in the rear to have to cold boot again. Cause again, this happned to me upgrading from OEM Rom to 2.17. I had to cold boot and start email again.
Hard lesson, hope Spb has an answer.

I seem to be working on my own problem here, cause no time to wait for answers.
I decided to remove Spb Diary. Now WM5 is not exactly a science when it comes to removing apps, but it did, and several questions poped up in reference to keeping old Diary configuration for future use, i simply said NO. Cause I will re install Diary, and it will pickup contacts and new email accounts, which I will 1st configure with out look now. Better then cold boot bro's.
Well this worked, and oulook popped up and I setup my accounts again. Hard lesson to learn. Next ROM upgrade I will NOT restore my old email accounts before setting them up with outlook, then re installing Diary.
Hi Guys,
My Hermes was replaced by Vodafone as most of the front buttons died after 60 days. As I could not be putting up with reinstalling everything on another 'PDA' yet again, I bought SPB Backup and did a full backup of the old phone and restored it to the new one. Everything works 100% - except:
SPB Diary shows my mail account, called 'PD', but it won't Open it. Messaging doesn't even show the account, but if I try to create a new 'PD' it says that an account with that name already exists, so I guess something is missing or corrupt.
I can create a new mail account with another name, but it nags me that the old data (or part of it) is there 'somewhere' so can anyone point me towards a file/folder/registry entry I can delete to get rid of the duff account.
Many thanks.
PS: Yes, I have posted in the SPB Backup forum but a few others have had similar-ish problem and there's not much in the way of advice.
Try completely cleaning up the e-mail accounts by SKTools 3.x. It will delete all your mail-related stuff (incl. other accounts) so save your stuff first.

There isn't really need for a full tutorial - go to PIM / Delete PIM information, select the name of the mailbox (for example, "mymail") and Delete, followed by Yes / No.

Thanks for that - I will give it a go.
Edit: Well, I downloaded and installed SKLite for WM5 smartphones and it won't run - a window pops up briefly and then closes.
If you're not afraid using the Windows Mobile SDK, see my thread on rapiconfig (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283128).
First, you can query information about your accounts.
Then, either try setting the authentication fields, or, use the nocharacteristic element to delete the accounts one by one.
You'll find documentation looking for »nocharacteristic EMAIL2« on MSDN.
I have a problem with my HD2 forgeting passwords and account details for a number of apps and system settings. Now I know the Facebook login has been mentioned on another thread (although not sorted), but my HD2 is also fogetting the following after every soft reset or flat battery etc: -
Data Connection. It needs to be set as if it is the first time I have used the phone
Email. It forgets the passwords for the accounts, the download schedule/settings, and the signatures etc
Wi-Fi. Forgets all keys
Other Apps. Forgets passwords, and Facebook will never remember the details even though I check the remember my details box.
If this has been covered and I have missed it my apologies, but I can't find a thread, and if there has been I would be greatful for a link to it.
This problem is really causing me a headache at the moment. This (as always) seems to happen just at a crucial moment at work when I am in the middle of something and I have to soft reset; that would be enough of a pain usually, but now I have to reset the data, add the settings to my email accounts, re-enter wi-fi key, change my signature.....
I have been thinking that a hard reset might fix this, but thought I would ask on here first because I am not looking forward to the prospect of re-instiing my Tom Tom and everything else.
Thanks.
I've started getting the Facebook app problem in the last day or so, why won't it remember me?!?!
Losing email and data settings
Searched but can't find a solution to this problem, It's just started to happen to me on a 6 month old phone. Can't see anything I've altered in the last few days. Did OP find a solution?
The problem stopped and has not happened since. I did not find a solution, it just seemed to sort itself out.
OK. Thanks for the reply, will see if mine resolves itself
any idea of a fix for this problem?
Swype keyboard when installed sometimes has a tendency to wipe the passwords.
i found disabling sense and installing spb mobile shell fixed this issue for me. prior to that it was brutal. hard reset after hard reset.

didn't get this problem in a while already.
I have this funny theory that MAY be true or not: if you need to softreset, before doing that make sure that all the applications that use those data are closed.
i.e., before softreset close with a task manager pocket outlook mail, and wireless properties if they're open

indeed, it is not a theory. the key-db is shared between apps (at least the one for wifi+activesync keys), and a softreset may corrupt it.

I agree. My HD2 has had this problem (again!!!) for the last couple of days now, and it seemed to start when the phone locked out and I had to remove the battery to reset.
And this time I decided to stop attempting to fix it and just bite the bullet and do a hard reset with the stock rom, which did nothing. Yesterday I changed rom to Energyrom and it still hasn't fixed it. Surely a hard reset/rom change should fix this issue?
Anyway taking the positives, forcing me to hard reset made me try a custom rom for the first time
Has anyone put in a complaint to HTC regarding this? I can put up with most niggles using WM/HTC, but losing exchange details and email account passwords all day is beyond a joke for business users.
Had 2 gmail accounts working perfect
All of the sudden they are still in the 'sense' gui.. but not in my email app..
- How do I get them out of the sense gui ??
- I fi (re)create my account it does not work anymore..
Anyone has a solution ???

I've been having the exact same problem. It started soon after (but not immediately) after I did my first hard reset. It was very soon after I gave TProfiler a try (which is now uninstalled). Don't know if the issue is related to either of those things, though.
How did you solve the Sense part of the issue?
Thanks for any info.

Use the attached Program. Copy the exe to your device, start it, select the account to repair, type in the necessary data and click on repair. Your account will be fully visible/restored in sense and WM again so you can use or delete it. Works like a charm had to use it several times till now. The problem often occurs after using a full backup or similar.

I got the gmail account fixed right up. Thanks. Having trouble finding the right entries for Yahoo, though. The program asks for POP info, but I'm assuming I can enter IMAP info if that's how I set the program up, right?
Much thanks.

Usually u just need to fill in the first informations (username, password). Most of the other settings should still be stored in the account so that you dont need to fill them in again.

Sorry for the late reply..
What I did was
goto email tab in sense..
Account management.. delete the accounts there
add them again.. everything ok ..
(until now)...
