Windows Live question

Hi there!
I use normally Windows Live in my Touch HD, but I would like to disable the option "Store Windows Live contacts in your mobile phone's contact list" because is duplicating the contact I already have using Outlook exchange.
I see that option in Windows Live but I can not uncheck it. Is that possible?
Thanks!

I believe what you would need to do is delete your msn/hotmail account and then create a new one using windows live and this time deselect it before process is complete

Thanks Fallen Spartan!!
It worked!
Greetings!

I am facing the problem but can't seem to be able to delete the account as the option to do so under the email accounts is greyed out. Some help please? THank you in advance.

Hi, thanks for responding, i can't seem to delete my hotmail account. That option is greyed out, the delete option for my other gmail accounts are however not greyed out hence i can delete them if i wanted to. It's only the hotmail one that is greyed out and can't be selected.

Try adding the account again.
I believe that you can only have one hotmail account on the device anyway......

Why does the thing sync E-mails? I don't want it to!

I have had this problem now and then with everything from the original ROM to the Leo MaryOne ROM I'm running now (which is btw fantastic - better than any of the other cooked ROM's I've tried, and all of those have been better than the original). Even though I've checked that the box for E-mail sync isn't ticked in the setup on the desktop or the HD it still transfers all the mail when I get mail on Outlook 2003. Any idea how I stop this, it's downright annoying behaviour!

active sync > menu > options > select MS Exchange (if you have multiple accounts) > Delete.

Nope, sorry. No MS Exchange there. I don't work in a company that has it either. The only thing that's there is Windows PC, which is the workstation notebook I use.

i was just going off my phone (which is to corporate network).
going back to that same menu (where it lists your laptop) - is email ticked?
try removing the computer entry and see if you still recieve email on your phone.
i could be wrong, but i think any email sync is handled by activesync.

ok, activesync doesnt handle non-corporate email...
i've found more account settings (using wm6.1)
- goto your inbox (so you can see the overview of your email)
- tap Menu
- tools > Options
- press and hold the mailbox you wish to delete
- select delete!

Thanks, but I'm afraid it doesn't cover my situation. I have the mail account on the cell phone as well, so I can check mail on the go (or in bed, which makes my wife crazy...), so the account is necessary there. What I can't understand is why the PC insists on syncing the mail to the phone even if I haven't ticked the box for it. The phone does not check mail automatically (I only check mail when I'm on WiFi, not on 3G - that's too damn expensive here in Norway, so it's not doing it automatically), so that's not where the mail comes from. And the really weird thing is that it only happens now and then, not at all consistent. And this has happened on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 2K3, you name it. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

Thanks! I've actuall had the same problem on earlier phones, like the Atom Life. What I can't remember is if I had this problem before I went Windows 7...

Sorry for the noob question: How to I sync my Contacts over from my Nexus?

I am sure it's been covered, but I can't sync this to get my Google contacts for anything. I keep getting error code: 0x80072ee7
This is my first WimMo phone so go easy!

go to your gmail on your pc, then you want to go to contacts, then export contacts, and save them as an outlook file...then you want to log into windows live (if you dont have an account, make one up, and you can still use another email (you dont have to use a hotmail account), then after loading your contact file into windows live on your pc via the web, then you want to open windows live on your phone, and log in, then your contacts will sync, and be saved, like google, on windows live....
your lucky i was in a helpful/good mood because i just picked up my HD2, this all is windows help search away...
although you might have done this, a bit more info on how you got the error would be good...

There was a good thread about this in the HD2 General forum, unfortunately I can't remember the title. You can probably find it with a good search. It's within the last few days.
Basically.. in Settings -> Data Services -> ActiveSync, you can set up an email account that links to your gmail account and syncs the contacts. The account type should be Exchange. That's as much as I can remember. Just do a thread search, you'll find it.

if your contacts are on your gmail account, you can install SEVEN from here (You have to join their beta program and once you do, you can click on the "download software" link. Please select the consumer edition, and agree to the terms (read them carefully first, the reason is explained below). When you do you will be presented with the choice to receive a text message on your phone or other download options, select other download options, select HTC as the manufacturer and select either the P3450 or the T8282 as your model (the HD2 is not officially supported, but it works well at least on mine) and then you can download the cab.
The catch with SEVEN is that when you set up your account, it will send a text message to a number in the UK, they do that to register your phone on their system, and they only do it once per email account, although if you flash your phone and reinstall SEVEN, it will send the message again when you add your account again.
When you set up your account, you will be able to sync your email, your contacts and your calendar, and it will be setup as push. You can do this with gmail, AOL, yahoo, hotmail, and even custom accounts.
Hope this helps.

Phone the sound of it, you already set up an activesync to get your gmail email/contacts/calendar. I'm guessing you didn't unselect 'tasks.' If that is the case, then just go to activesync and in options, unselect 'tasks.' This should fix your problem (google doesn't support tasks so you can't sync them).
You can also deselect the tasks in data settings in the settings tab.

Outlook cant be deleted?

I've connected my phone to PC for the first time after a hard reset,and now I see Outlook along with my Hotmail acc on the Mail tab on manila..I try to" Delete Account -- Outlook" and the colored windows icon turns forever and nothing happens. I tried to delete it from Mail Settings,but delete icon is gray and i cannot delete..
What can I do

It's because you've selected it as one sync options in Windows Mobile Device Center.
Start Windows Mobile Device Center and under "Mobile Device Settings" select "Change content sync settings" uncheck E-Mail in that list, and it will delete the outlook account from your phone.
Goodluck.

Thanks so much

I know that I've tried it once and even deleted my partnership and my Outlook E-mail account was still on the device. Then if I set up a new partnership I would always have conflicts; old appointments / reminders appearing all the time, WMDC would always ask to resync the entire partnership, if I have a lock password I would always have to enter it whenever I connect the device to the pc.
The only way for me to fix it was to do a hard reset and start over.

Active Sync (WMDC) Folder Options

Hey All,
I have my device set up pretty well but I seem to be having an issue with my Active Sync/WMDC using MS Exchange as a the server.
The problem I'm having is being able to select the folders to sync. In WMDC on Windows 7 if I go into my "Change Content Sync Settings" and then select folders to sync, I see most of my folders but not all. The one I'm having specific issues is with drafts. The folder is not shown at all.
If I go into my HD2 to try and change in Active Sync, I dont seem to be able to edit the folder tree at all. I've also been into account settings on the email tab and the sync options but I'm calling no joy with that.
Any ideas for me please? TIA
