Few questions.

Is there any way to stop the contacts on my sim from showing up in contacts ? I only want the ones I have put in the phone to be visible. I cant find an option to view only contacts and not contacts and sim.
Is there a quick way via the on screen keyboard to select all items ie in your text inbox or email inbox or hotmail inbox etc. I keep having to drag the pen all the way down over the items and then holding down and selecting delete.
Shift and down didnt seem to work like on a pc unless im doing it wrong.
Also is there any way to check for email on my pop 3 and hotmail without having to select each account ?
Cheers

How do i remove an email account.

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

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.

Any Easy Way to delete all my phone contacts?

I have been having some fun and games with phone contacts as some of you might have seen.
Another thing I did wrong was to import these sim contacts onto the phone [no need I am guessing] so I see them twice.
What I want to do i do a .pst export from my pc with the mobile numbers to my laptop whose outlook currently has no contacts and I can then import them all correctly orientated that way to my phone.
I would like to delete all the current phone contacts to be able to do this.
Anyway easy way please? (I did a quick seach with no joy!)
Thanks

if I understand you, you are trying to clear the phone completely of contacts, but can't be bothered to tick one at a time?
the key herr is that the sim contacts manager has a select all option, people tab menu doesn't.
try this
people all people menu sim manager menu select all menu delete.
that should be the sim empty(if it wasn't already)
now, if you go menu delete contacts, it will populate the empty screen with your phones contacts and let you then do menu select all delete.
phone should now be empty of contacts.

to be fair [bothered to tick one at a time] there are over 180!
Thanks, I will try that.
I can always copy the contacts back to the sim from my other phone.

sync with outlook delete them all from outlook sync again viola (u need to have set that PC is master for data)

Thanks for that.
I managed to solve a couple of problems in one go:
my contacts in outlook on the laptop is not populated so I imported the mobile numbers from desktop outlook to laptop contacts.
Then deleted sim and phone contacts then synched with laptop outlook and now Contacts are nicely arranged first name, last name.
Belts and braces - I copied all contacts to sim and then hid sim contacts
Thanks guys

just a thought but if you have them in the phone and outlook which I assume you are going to keep synced.. why copy to sim when that WON'T be synced and you run the risk of corrupting your good lis
t in the future?

the rationale when I did it was in case I need to send the phone back etc etc but I take your point that I would have the backup on the laptop.
Just another layer of backup which I hopefully will not have to use?

heh yea.just don't forget they're there and accidentally merge them go the future...back to square one. lol

There is an app around that will clear the contacts on a windows mobile device.
If you search 'clear contacts in windows mobile' in google you should find it. Not sure if it's Mobile 6.5 ready.

Remove Hotmail email (using Windows Live app does not work)

Hi,
I have 2 email accounts that I'd like to remove. Hotmail and Windows Live. They stopped syncing all of a sudden and when I select either of them and select Inbox, the next screen shows Set up Email account. When I try to set up my Hotmail and Windows Live email account again, I get a message saying that these accounts already exist.
I installed Windows Live 10.7 after trying out the above, but still no luck.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

even your hotmail and Windows Live Mail boxes are highlighted? Mine's greyed out...

if you allow them to be set up automatically then you need to go top the live app and remove your login details, which should remove the linked email account.

The Live app creates another Hotmail and another Windows Live Mail account which I can remove using Live app. The original accounts still remain in the Email Tab.

ahh.
no help then, sorry.

[Q]Updating google contacts with my android contacts

i want to know how to make my gmail contacts same as my android , let me clarify it , when i save a new contact to my android i only see it on my phone but it not exist on my gmail contacts, i tried to export contacts from my phone but i only get ability to export to sd card not to gmail, is there any way that makes the update in the real time with no need to backup or export ? and if not so what is the best way to export contacts to gmail!

I always thought when you made a new contact it says "1: Save to Gmail 2: Save to SIM 3: Save to Phone" and if you select Save to Gmail it automatically links to your Gmail account?
I hope anyways, i've been doing that so when i try a new ROM wont need to re-enter all my contacts again lol

not sure, but when i re-flashed to another rom and entered in my gmail login, it pulled down all my contacts automatically. Maybe theres an app which will export them to Google as visible contacts? :S

i've tested it now, saved a new contact to my android under certain category and then went to that category in my gmail it not there, its been 15 minute now .

is there any application in the market or a step by step turorial to do this

hi guys,
just simply create new contact in your Android cell phone /HD2 / or create a new contact online in your web browser and gmail account
go to Settings in your cell phone
then
Accounts and Sync /or something like that.. I have it in my own language/
and then you need to create or Add new account /gmail account/
you fill all the informations.. email, password and so...
after that you click on Synchronize and that's it
all your contacts from Android phone are in your gmail account and from your gmail account in your cell phone
it works great on my HTC HD2 with Android 2.2 Froyo
PS: works fine with gmail calendar too

I second what the above posted said. If its set to auto sync it will back them up when ever you add a new contact.
Ive been using it for a year now as I had a g1 before.
