my email-account is lost after removing battery

If i remove my battery all my emailsettings/account is lost
If i try to add a new account with the same name it says: account already exists, but i cant see it.
so the only way is to choose a new name for my account.
does someone have a solution?

you can repair the mail account using mailaccountrepair, download it from http://nicolasmauri.blogspot.com/
I have the same problem
I still don't understand why it happen
other solution, which doesn't fit BA, is to shut down the device after setting the account -> has to do something with the registry

perfect, i'll try it on the weekend.
thanks.

I have same problem.
I use Nicolas Mauri MailAccountRepair, and It works perfectly.
It is easy to use, just run the .exe file on my BA, and voila. My gmail account appear again.
@ adotan : Thanks for sharing.

Thanks
Hi...
I Have sape problem in my htc prophet i'll download it and tray it.
Thankssssss.............

guys, install flexmail 2007.
and be happy with no more account loss.

i used the mail repair app, it works but my phone seem to freeze a lot lately. im not sure though if the cause is that program, but the freezing begins when i turn off the wifi then when i turn it on again, it takes a very long time to connect and opening other programs on the phone would cause much longer freezing, which just started happening now after i used the mail repair thingy. i even tried deleting the app, but the problem is still there. help guys.

Sent emails not showing in 'Sent' box?

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.

Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.

how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?

from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

hi , thanks.
i honestly 'prefer not to' install all the live stuff... as i believe ppl here have been able to sync without installing this? would you know if this is possible (it would be better)?
thanks

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

Having the same problem, there's no tick box!

It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

got it working
ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails

thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.

I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?

Google Contacts?

I'm considering switching from the G1 to the HD2 when it comes out this week because I'm ready for a new device. However all of my contacts are stored through google and not on my SIM or in Outlook. Is there any way to sync Google contacts with an HD2/WM6.5, or would I have to find an alternative way should I decide to take the upgrade?

I have not tested it... but in activesync you can set it up to sync with m.google.com. I only used it for calendar so I cannot assure you that it will work...

I use it for calendar, contacts, and email - all works splendidly. makes flashing new roms a breeze or even switching phones.
All i have to remember are my settings for cookies (which you can export), bsbtweaks, and S2U2. everything else is done.
you will have to find a way to backup your SMSes though. I have not imported my SMSes from my E65 to the HD2. But if you can put an SMS into MSMyphone or PIMbackup format you can restore them too.

awesome! I'm going from g1 to hd2 on wednesday!

Bah, first read - then reply. My bad

You can also go to gmail and export your contacts as a CSV file, then just import into outlook, and when you plug you phone into your computer to sync it will download all of your contacts

an app called "vcard expert" from the windows phone marketplace could be worth looking at.
all you need to do is export your contacts from google in a single vcard vcf file and stick the file on your HD2 - vcard expert will do the rest.

Can you give me instructions on how to do this because when I tried, following the directions online, all I got was error: password incorrect. I was working on this for hours and kept inputting my password, so I know that wasn't the problem. Please help!

yes
yes this works with active sync. i went from a htc hero to the HD2 and it even took my Facebook links over with the contacts. sense to sense.

where you enter email and password, click manual setup
"user name" is your complete email address
enter password
keep "domain" blank
"server address" is m.Google.com
click done
then select contact, mail, calendar...there is no task suppot so uncheck it
click done...then the "sync now" soft key
edit: i forgot, make sure SSL is checked also.
Also, maybe a MOD can put this in the tips thread if its not there already.

There is a "text messages" option...does this work? If so where are they saved?

do you guys get the lastname first?

text messages is only on com5 builds I think. I never had it on my stock ROM.
Also if you type in [email protected] or whatever your gdomain is then on COM5 the 'domain' box is grayed out. (cooked roms)
you must type m.google.com however on COM2 builds (stock)
what do you mean lastname?
It depends on how the contact sends their name in the email text.
TBH i am curious to see if SMSes work....but Myphone handles that for me well enough.
One thing that does irritate me is that mail sent from the HTC does not appear in sent items....I think that's why they put in the 'reply all'. With reply all it sends back to you, but with just reply I never see the message again until they mail back with it included inline.

That thing about sent emails and the huge battery killer were the two main things that made return this devices,plus WinMo,it does not cut it for me.Beautiful screen though.

It's written i post #10.

Go to AcitveSync on your HD2 and form the Menu choose 'Options' and delete the current server. Mine was 'Microsoft Exchange'.
Then set up a new connection that i the one shown i post #10.

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 ..

Problems setting up my Hotmail account.

I recently updated my ROM from o2 stock 1.43 to stock 1.72. Since then I've been unable to set-up my Hotmail account. This has been doing my head in for a few days now, I've searched the forum but can't find anything that's relevant.
Here's my problem step by step: I select Add mail account then other, as Hotmail isn't listed. I then enter my e-mail address & password and click next. What happens next has never happened before when I've tried to set my hotmail account up from within a phone and has left me bewildered??
My Opera 10 browser now launches and takes me to the online Hotmail website??? WTF!!! After exiting the opera browser, I return back to the add mail account screen and I'm promptly back at square one?
Any help/ advice would be much appreciated.
Thx.

can you not input the settings for smtp, imap, pop3 etc manually???? im not sure which hotmail uses hence why i mentioned them all.
There is a few threads about hotmail mate

I wouldn't bother setting it though Sense...
Open Windows live and do it from there......
If you must then you will need mail.live.com. that is they worked for me the last time I set it though Sense...
I do have one question for HTC... Why the F**k are you selling a windows device that doesn't have the hotmail setting in Sense???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Oh you may want to update your version of Windows Live from the Marketplace

But I've setup my Hotmail account previously on this phone (HD2) via the Add Mail Account screen and never had any problems up until now.
Thanks for the suggestion tho', I may need to try that.

Can anyone help with this please? It's seriously doing my head in!

Me too, but I've fixed it
Hi,
I had the same problem when updating OS, what previously was a simple task became impossible, and as for taking me to the website, WTF barely covers it!
The answer is in the post from Neville.Holland, simply re-install 'Windows Live' from Marketplace and obey all the instructions, once the 'old WL' is removed and the phone restarts you'll find 'hotmail' is there in your list of email accounts as it was before...
Hooray

when inputing the email address at the start, just misspell it (notmail.con for instance) which prevents the wizard recognizing it. fill in all the rest of the details manually, then save it, then edit it and correct the address.

That's a weird problem, but sam's suggestion should definitely work. If not give provisioning a try. Just look around XDA and you'll figure it out.

thats the right answer

i had the same problem mine was a hotmail.co.uk address. so i entered it in sense as hotmail.com it then took me to the live log in screen where i changed it to hotmail.co.uk it then saved that and synced all my emails and left them all working fine on sense.

Manual Hotmail Email Setup
samsamuel is right on! Hope I'm not raising the dead post here, just thought I can up some details for reference on manually setting up a hotmail email account as lots of light roms are without the windows live package (it's not quite a small install and it needs to reside on the device) and I've read through and met some probs on my own when installing the cabs...
So as samsamuel said, just mistype the "@hotmail.com" part when you set up your hotmail account manually in Messages. You'll skip the windows live wizard (which I don't even have installed anymore). Here are the settings that worked for me (diamond on wm 6.5):
Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com:995
Account type: pop3
Outgoing (smtp) mail server: smtp.live.com:25
CHECKED "outgoing server requires authentication"
CHECKED "use the same user name and password for sending e-mail"
Under "advance server settings": CHECK BOTH "require SSL for Incoming AND Outgoing email"
After all that, right before it starts to sync, just stop send/receive and go back to the account setting and fix the mistyped "@hotmail.com" earlier.
That's what worked for me; incoming and outgoing tested. And I'm not sure about this, but for people who want to sync more than the 50 email limit (when you setup via windows live), you might be able to do it by setting the period of download to "from the past 30 days" or I guess "all messages". I don't have that many emails as I don't use hotmail that much so you better try it out if you're interested (it might take some time to sync though if you have lots of emails... so 3g or wifi it).
thanks for the help, samsamuel!
