I have something strange happening with my messaging. On my home plugin, for messaging it says: Yahoo! 2 unread......so I click on it, and it brings me to the messaging account picker. I have NO email accounts set up right now, so all I have showing is Text Messaging, MMS, and New EMail Account. If I try to creat a new yahoo account, it gets to the point where you type in Your Name, and Account Display Name.. I click OK, and it says that name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again. I think its referring to the " Yahoo! " account name, but I cant get it to show up anywhere to delete it! Any idea how I can completly get rid of anything yahoo on my phone? I alrady cleared the registry of all yahoo strings, but its still telling me I have 2 unread messages in my phanton yahoo account, and it wont let me create a new yahoo acount! HELP plz!
Try the program I attached in this thread:

A few weeks ago, I also had an unread mail in one of my account even though there is no mail in the inbox.
Tried all sorts of action but could not remove the unread reminder. I hard reset, restored with Sprite backup, the reminder came back again.
Finally, I did a hard reset, and restore everything except the mail. Then I manually set up my mail account account. The problem was gone since.
same thing here eagle....there could be a fix somewhere out there, but i ended up hard resetting and then reinstalling my accounts....works good now

Hi, you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368812
This is where the accounts are stored in the registry. You might need to delete the one named "Yahoo" or similar, then soft-reset and create a new e-mail account. Hope this helps if you could up a copy of the .reg file I might be able to help.
Hope this is helpful and if not I hope you find your answer soon..

hi there,
a friend of mine has got a very annoying issue with his hd(blackstone) he got it from orange uk and added his email account which pulled down his emails no probs, for some reason though now it shows 1 unread message on his touchflow (and on the front of s2u2).
I assumed it was the problem with when you go into the account and not read an email properly how it shows highlighted.
This wasn't the case, so ran FixUnreadCount.exe that ive seen from prior posts, this didnt fix it after a softreset.
so....
deleted the entire account still there,
readded a different account, still there,
deleted the account completely
soft reset ran FixUnreadCount.exe
soft reset, still annoyingly there!!
went to edit the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread\Count and made sure its set to 0
softreset and still!!! showing 1 unread email
can any one suggest anything else as im running out of hair to pull
thanks
I had this once. It was an unread email in the inbox of the 'Outlook Email' account which I had never used. It was 'Welcome to Outlook' or something like that.
Might be worth a look?
hi sadly its not even that

Are you sure?? I had the same problem just as evilskanker...and it had to do with Activesync and setting up a dummy exchange server to stop Activesync from running all the time. Deleting the server didn't make it go away. I had to go into Activesync, enable mail for exchange server and then delete the email that was sitting there, then disable the email again. The only other solution was a hard reset...

I'd agree with you as I had the exact same problem.
Hi, I had the same issue when I have done the fake exchange server trick to avoid having ActiveSync launched in the background.
Pehaps your friend has tried the fake server trick...
The way to fix your mail counter issue is to configure again the same fake server, and then, you go to your mails and you'll see a welcome mail in the exchange server inbox.
Delete it, and only then, you can delete the fake exchange server.
Because if you delete the fake server of the fake server trick without deleting the welcome mail, then you have the mail counter issue without any other way of getting rid of it.
ok, here is what you do...
Create an exchange mail account again. This time you will get a Microsoft welcome message again. Now go to your Inbox and tap the Inbox on the top left side to open folders. Then you would see the mail either in your deleted folder or any other folder. Go to that folder and delete the mail. The trick is to read the welcome mail and delete it so that it will not show as unread mail.
Actually, you can even access the Outlook folders without creating the mail account, just go to your SMS inbox and open the folder list from the top left as described above. Then choose the Outlook folder and expand, you would see the inread mail in one of those folders.

This method fixed it for me and I had tried all other options! I had originally only set up Exchange to sync with my Google contacts, but it still received a welcome email...which I had no access to as I had no email accounts set up on my phone!!
So, as above, I recreated my acount (as I had deleted it twice out of frustration) but this time enabled emails to sync also. Went into the email account and deleted the welcome emails of which there were now 3
I've got the same problem with my gmail account. It permanently shows 1 unread email but I'll be damend if I can find it. I've checked everywhere and there's nothing unread. When I browse to my mail folders, the unread one shows under gmail inbox and not under outlook email so I'm not sure if the solution above is relevant to me.
Basically I'd given up hope of fixing it, but if someone has a solution for the gmail account showing 1 unread I'd really appreciate hearing it!
Thanks

Try to go in your messinging application (not TF3D) an take a look at every folder. i guess theres the welcome mail from microsoft (the 1st you get after creating a new account). read or delete it an all will be good
I've done exactly that and can't find it anywhere. Not in TF3D it shows that the unread email resides in my gmail inbox. Makes no sense to me.
Any resolution here yet? I am having the exact same issue. It only happens when I have ActiveSync setup for my google contacts/calendar. I assume that TouchFLO for some reason thinks there should be a mailbox attached to that account, even though there isn't.

i think the problem (see first post) has been that he was checking the wrong registry key.
please check the following keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\OtherEmail\Unread\Count
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sync\Unread\Count
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\totalemail\Unread\Count
HI,
I've got the same problem.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\totalemail \Unread\Count always comes to 1 even if I modify it!
Phantom Message
I had this problem too and it bothered me for a few days. I think you are having a hard time finding the outlook folder with the welcome message.
You need to get to the Windows Mobile inbox screen (not the touch flo screen)
You can get there by clicking inbox from touch flow or start>messaging
Look in the top right hand corner of the screen for the word "inbox". Click the arrow to the right of this.
Here you should see trees - there should be whatever account you setup (gmail, etc...), outlook and sms/mms.
Click the plus sign near outlook to expand it.
I bet you will see the blue 1 next to the inbox under outlook.
I hope this helps.
MOD EDIT
Thread moved to general discussion as not related to rom development
This happens when you add a non email Exchange server (Google Sync).
I just open the SMS inbox and slide to the right to find the 'Welcome Email' and delete it. Never comes back.
Saves creating the fake server or registry editting.
Yeah, this happened to me also. Brand new HTC Touch Pro2, wanting to sync with Google Calendar and Contacts, then I get this "phantom" unread message count. I attempted to connect to my Google Gmail account calendar & contacts via ActiveSync. I made a few mistakes along the way (had to delete & recreate connection once), but am now successful in connecting the phone contact & calendar list with Google. I selected ONLY the Calendar and Contacts to sync via ActiveSync.
The "new message" green circle icon now appears over the "mail" icon in the TouchFlo 3D UI, with the number "3". This number happens to correspond to the number of times I created (then deleted) the ActiveSync connection to Google Calendar & Contacts. When I enter the "Mail" selection (WM's 'Messaging'), I do have a Gmail account established (using IMAP4) but there exists no unread messages.
For a while, I was unable to get the "3" unread Mail message notification to cancel from the TouchFlo 3D UI. I have no unread messages (text or email). I've attempted to delete & re-establish my IMAP4 connection, but the situation remains. I have attempted to delete & re-create the ActiveSync connection to Google, and when I do that step, the phantom quantity of unread messages (the number in the green circle over the "envelope") increases by 1.
The fix mentioned above by VizagDude works. Here it is again with slightly more information:
From TouchFlo 3D's main screen, slide over to the "mail" icon.
click on Menu (bottom right of screen)
click on "Accounts >", then "Accounts...". This brings up the "Messaging" view
Select the "SMS/MMS" account entry (should be the first one in the list). You should see a list of text message threads that you've recently sent.
From the SMS/MMS menu entry, click on the dropdown arrow next to "Inbox" (top left of screen).
In this dropdown, you should see an entry in the tree called "Outlook E-Mail" in the list of folders. Click on the "Outlook E-Mail" entry in the tree.
Within "Outlook E-Mail", open the inbox folder, there will be a number of new emails titled "E-mail Tips and Tricks". (How kind of MS to secretly welcome us to the wonderful world of email )
delete those messages.
The count of unread messages will now match your actual unread messages from other email accounts that are on your phone.
I have the exact same issue, but unlike some of you I dont have problems with the Outlook acc I have, its with my private pop-account. It has a perpetual "1" attached to the inbox. I have cheched all paths to the inbox and there is no way fixing it. Last time hard reset did, but thats hardly favourable...
Agh! This bugs me. I have aboslutely no new email in my account. I've checked all folders. Under the mail app's folder tree it says 2 unread in my pop account's inbox, and says 2 on the touchflo tab. It was one for a while, and now there's a second one there. This happened to me on Dutty's before, now I'm on Miri's WM 6.5 Sense 2.5 v15.
Is there some way to fix this and ideally keep it from happening? None of the fixes above helped.
Hello again fellow Touch 3g owners,
So ive come across this article and i was wondering if anyone has tried this. Im not able to try it with the standard email application for the touch 3g. I have been using the windows live application to sync my emails but i dont like it because it only syncs emails i havent read and i think its kinda stupid to have to open another application just to sync ur emails. Would gladly appreciate any input on this.
EDIT:
Ok so ive got it working by following one of the comments of the article. The email program automatically detects settings for these 3 domains: live.com, hotmail.com and msn.com. You do not want this to happen, so what you have to do is enter a fake domain like [email protected] and then enter the settings found in the article. Remember to tick the box for ssl and authentication for both ingoing and outgoing in the advanced settings. when ur done you can change the accountname to ur real email. this worked for me (accessed my emails, havent tried sending yet but i dont think that will be a problem).
just an update
So ive got it working, however its not to my liking. It works great exept for a few things. One is that i cant preview the messages in touchflo, it shows when and from who but not a preview of the content. Second is that mails already read elsewhere it downloads as unread. And last but not least, it takes a long time to sync. So if any of you has found a workaround pleas let me know.
Why don't you just configure all your pop3 in the mail tab. There you can easily and quickly send/receive or sync.

I configured my mails (including hotmail) using the Mail Tab. Once configured it gives the icons on the right as to which accounts I am looking at. And when I tap Menu - Send/receive, the individual icons (accounts) shows how many e-mails have come in (still unread) for each account (if any).
Follow this link http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/22/enable-hotmail-pop3-in-all-countries/ for hotmail configuration.
When first configuring, do not put [email protected][U]hotmail.com[/U], put something else (e.g. [email protected][COLOR="Red"]zzxxyy.com[/COLOR]). Configure manually, do not let it search. The rest follow instructions from above link. Once completed, then update - which gives fail. Then Tap Menu-Tools-Options-tap the hotmail email acc - and input all the correct info from there (the actual account login name, password.) Tap send/receive... Wallllla !!!!

Well, it depends on the beholder. I configured it in less than 5 minutes, just once. Well that's the only way now, that I know and would like to share. Others may have a much more simpler, easier and less complicated way. I don't know.
is there any way to make the envelopes of the email accounts different. I have about 4 email accounts and unless I go over them with the stylus I never know which one is which. Mabe there is a tweak that can make the envelopes different collors or something. What the hell when they made Touchflow the Htc guys tought we will have only 1 email account?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Is the name of the e-mail account on the envelop and the bar when scrolling through them not enough??

no, it is not enough because I want to know witch email has messages whithout scrolling on it. Now all I see are white envelopes with no difference beetween them.
its a good idea if can be developed i knowwhat you mean, to see emails you have to click the envelope then you could go to inbox at the top and select different folders (you see the email name there) but be a nice addition to see the email account on folder, or sysmbol, or something. like Y! for yahoo G for google mail SKY, whatever. a "O" in orange for orange etc
Yes, strange isn't it?
And if your email boxes are empty, there is no way to say which email account belongs to the white small envelope.
And there are only 4 email envelopes No way to scroll to all of them in TouchFlo...
Its like the application is not finished here....
Or are there any solutions for this?
I have 4 email accounts set up. One MAPI(Hotmail), One Exchange Server(outlook main), 1 IMAP4 and one POP3 account. It notifies which one has the new email in it with a number in green. The program is not unfinished. It it complete and does what it is supposed to do. I get notification and then hit the notification and it takes me to the mail box of my choice.
Perhaps there is a way that I am not aware of is to choose which account you want to send it from.
I totally agree, I have three accounts and it is impossible to tell wich envelope is wich account without tap/holding each one. And even worse, even then the names don't always refresh in time, so tap/holding my hotmail account and then tap/holding my work account will first display my work account it as being the hotmail account and only the second time I tap/hold it will it show the correct label.
Really don't like this. I would LOVE a way of differentiating email accounts and also the labels updating in time.....
The small email account envelopes should have been the same as the small picture icons on the right of the people tab, or the small entries on the right of the stocks tab.
Slide out, give full account name, while displaying the first letters of the account name.
And scrollable, so I can see all my 7 email accounts.
A smart Touch3d template builder could make the changes.
There's been some sporadic posts of this around the net, but nothing concrete.
I've got a AWS N1 on WIND Mobile (Canadian company) and GMAIL push works perfectly fine (basically instantaneous) if emails lands in my Inbox.
If however, email lands in a Gmail Label (that is set to auto-archive, ie. bypass the inbox and go directly into the label), the N1 will NOT notify me that I have new mail.
So basically:
Email ---> Inbox = Notification
Email ---> Label (w/ archiving) = NO Notification
Has anyone noticed this before? Is this just the way Gmail functions on the N1?

Well, that's how Gmail works... on your PC.
Ok, gmail labels are somewhat confusing, so I'll explain how they work with an example:
Open up gmail.com on your PC.
Send an email to yourself that will get autoarchived.
Will the email show up in your inbox?
No, because it's autoarchived.
So why would you get a notification on your phone if you don't get a new email in your inbox?
Get rid of the auto-archiving if you want the notifications to pop up.
Notifications on your phone mirror your INBOX.

Which leads to a problem i occassionally have; I have my Gmail box set up for multiple inboxes; everything from my MAIN Gmail address comes into the inbox, as well as everything from 3 other gmail address; the other three however, are autolabeled upon receipt respectively; every so often, I'll get an email on one of these 3 emails. My N1 will show that I have an unread email (across the top, it'll say "Inbox (1)"), but I can't see the actual new msg. I'll then log into my main gmail account on the PC, and sure enough I have a new email in my inbox, with both the "inbox" and alternate label applied. Once I mark it as read or delete it, my N1 then shows that I have (0) unread msgs. It's random, and doesn't apply to just any single email address I have funneled into my main Gmail Inbox. I'm at a bit of a loss. If anyone has any constructive ideas (besides "don't use multiple inboxes), I'd love to hear them.

Changes labels to all mail, then change back to inbox.
You'll see the unread one there.
Thank's for straightening that out Paul.
I figured as much, but just wanted to be sure I wasn't experiencing some weird glitch. It's a little bit of a pain to have all mail in the inbox as it really does clutter up the place.
Oh well...
This did get me thinking though. Since the GMAIL app is basically running all the time on the phone, would it not be possible to write code that would have the GMAIL app issue a notification when it receives an email that goes straight into a label and not the inbox? Especially if that label is set to sync.

Unfortunately, Google Apps (like Gmail) are closed-source. Not much anyone can do with em.
You might be able to use the secondary Mail app to add Gmail as POP or IMAP and it might give notifications for other labels, not sure.
