I've googled like crazy and searched these forums and cannot find a solution!
I added an email account to my Outlook that I now wish to delete or even just edit settings. For some reason, it doesn't show up under Menu>Tools>Options.
Its just not there!! It does show up in the account picker...but when I click on Menu>Delete NOTHING happens.
Its just...there!
I've seen a thread or 2 where people complain about this, but have yet to find a solution!
I have a theory that the Palm Messaging App that I'm using for SMS has messed something up within outlook. Thats just a guess though. I'm not sure.
I'm also using Sprint Mobile Email app. It has also added an outlook account that doesn't show up and is unable to be deleted or edited (however I wish to keep this one).
I'm comfortable going in and deleting registry settings or files to remove the extra account, I just can't figure out where to do so! This is driving me crazy. Help
and thanks in advance. This site is the best!
if you created the account using ActiveSync, open ActiveSync and select Menu->Options and then clear the checkmark for "E-mail". this should remove the email (account) from your phone. you know if all else fails, you can perform a hard-reset which will clear all email accounts, programs, contacts, etc., that you added to the phone. Settings->System Tab->Clear Storage is the same as a hard reset. Be sure to backup your contacts, pictures, ringtones, etc, to your laptop before doing the hard-reset.
Yeah I appreciate those tips. I was hoping to not have to do a hard reset but its starting to look that way. Now some of my Sprint Client fetched emails are getting into the phantom box for no reason what-so-ever.
I do have an exchange connection going for work, but that has nothing to do with the confused mailboxes. At least I don't think so. Hell, who knows. The phone seems to have slowed down since I installed exchange. Is that normal?
Looks like a hard reset may be in for tonight's excitement.
open outlook > menu > tools > options
highlite and hold the account you want to delete and select delete when the little popup opens.
it's not going to show up you just have to tap+hold the account for the delete to popup.. does it popup or you're saying it's not? sorta confused.
edit ok i re-read your post.. guess it's there just isn't deleting for you.. well the other option is to go in the registry and delete the email account key. but it shouldn't be a big deal because who deletes their email accounts regularly?
on my sprint touch outlook has an asterick next to it and the delete option comes up but you can't select it. I dont have email selected in activesnyc but I do have calendar, contacts, tasks and notes selected. Perhaps that's the reason outlook can't be deleted from the email accounts list?

You've probably sorted yourself out by now but if you haven't here's what you need to do.
Go to ActiveSync -> menu -> options, select Microsoft Exchange and then press delete. This will remove the ActiveSync relationship. Then just create a new one.

I have been trying to find answers for "messed up outgoing display name" when setting up email accounts & the (silent mail) or "stealth" outlook.
Bad entry in "exchange mail (outlook) windows mobile 6.5 and still can't find any visible means of deleting, changing or updating the "silent" outlook email settingsl 3 days non stop research and web searching...now, I find this site. Thank you!
I received my phone 4 days ago (and only received the HAND SET), after fighting carrier for 7 months regarding the non functioning phone with multiple defects that stared one week after full price purchase. No instructions, no charger, no connector cords for PC to HH Device, NOTHING! not to mention the sim card also missing.
Many individuals; tech support, advanced tech support, supervisors with carrier; support forums, product manufacturer, endless web searches, etc., etc., I was amazed and very frustrated with being treated like a complete idiot-(i will just leave it at the idiot part) and no solutions either until now. When researching the document "Deploying windows Mobile 6.5 phones with Microsoft exchange server 2010.,
It was so nice to see exactly what I was relating to and in my language (lol) YES here on this site - finally!
You all are so friendly & helpful! Like I mentioned I have only had my HTC Touch Pro2 for 4 days now, and being unable to locate the account management settings, I am very lost. I have no instructions either - have been going off web sites. I don't even know where to start to find solution here with your instructions, so if anyone can give a little more direction - it would be great
i need to know where to go to change server credentials MS Mobile 6 - (HOW do I get there? is ACTIVESYNC on phone or on my computer under the windows mobile device section, do I have my computer cord phone and pc hooked up together....
sorry, I was in schook when we hand wrote everything and a plunker typewriter was what we used for a manditory "typeing" class.... A little in the Flinstone Age - but really adapting - this phone was my stepping out, and I was and still am very excited to play with this new toy -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've probably sorted yourself out by now but if you haven't here's what you need to do.
I have only used a form of active sync on my Palm Pilot for nursing, b) but, that was hooked up and set up entirely tech department and they just told me what to do (enter contacts, updates like that into computer, then hook up the cords, and press the sync button" = that's it
Now, taking a deep breath because a solution is within reach I am ging to attempt the task but i do need step[step directions involving active sync and it has to be from the get go please....anyone.....
Hopefully others that get in this same slump will stumble upon this site, and help avoid such frustrations.
Thank you all for your knowledge base, and contributions, I am confident that the name floating in computer space hidden in the "Stealth" Outlook is beginning to appear.
Now onto the active sync, so I can get back to my state board review that took back burner for 3 days (oops)-
Thanks, worked for me too.

Just wanna give a thumb
Is there some sort of application that allows me to link contacts to facebook pages from my computer, and then somehow mass updates the contacts on the phone? The link to facebook is just some XML in the contact notes, so in principle this should be possible.
The same question has been asked here yesterday - i can't post the link as there is a restriction from doing so *rubbish* but it's topic id is 636175 and isn't too far down the forum...
Anyways, it apparently works with myphone, but I don't seem the XML that everyone else does for some reason and so my facebook links don't save

when you sync back your contacts after a flash/hard reset, the data to link them to their facebook equivalents should already be there. However, the links won't start to work until you have reassigned your 'me' contact card to your facebook account. When you do that, you should find the facebook links are restored. (not the facenbook app)
i'm afraid that's not what i'm looking for, myphone backs up my contact facebook associations just fine, i'm just looking for a simpler way to create those associations in the first place, preferably through the computer
Sorry if I misunderstand you, but doesn't the people/facebook app pop up and say 'click here to associate your contacts' and most of them are already pre-checked?
Note I'm NOT talking about the one on an individual person's page, but the one on the 'all people' list.
In the two seconds that process takes, 80% of my contacts were covered. The other 20% being people who I have as 'Jon XYZ' but they are 'Jonathan XYZ' on FB (or vice-versa.)
Or are you one of those people who doesn't do first name/last name and is looking for a way to get around that?
that's exactly what i need! it didn't do that with me, is there a way launch that synchronization manually?
I'm... not sure. I'm sure there is but I don't know how.
Just to make sure you're not missing anything obvious:
Go to the People tab
Click All People at the bottom
You're now at the "All" tab within a new screen -- you should see your fb contact as "Me" listed as the second contact -- do you see this 'link your facebook contacts' around here? (If it exists on this screen, it'll be one of the top three contacts.)
If not, use the slider on that same screen to scroll over to 'Updates and Events'. You'll see yourself at the very top here, and I'm almost positive that it was on this screen where it had 'link your contacts.' It wasn't in a menu or anything, it was very prominently displayed as one of the top items.
When/if you can find that screen, it's basically a dumb match that looks for Contacts(First Name,Last Name) = Facebook(First Name,Last Name). I'm not sure if it pairs on email address, but AFAIK it needs the full name to be exactly the same.
HTH.
**This all assumes you entered your facebook credentials when setting up your phone (or from the data sync menu under the settings tab afterwards) - completely separate from any fb app you may have on your phone. I'm pretty sure you have done this since you mentioned the XML in the contacts but just to be absolutely positive.
I've been looking at this problem since you first posted, and the main problem I see is that I can't see a way to un associate the me contact from face book (in order to re associate so that the contact association screen comes up)
dashed annoying!
i see what you mean, i'm going to look for a way to do that
Have you tried Fonebook!

I can do all the sync with facebook and Outlook. Give a look at this!

I think you could momentarily switch off the Facebook connection altogether do accomplish that. It's under "Data services" (on the settings tab).

Yea, thanks, that got it, however when i logged back in (through 'me' contact card) it doesnt ask about associations as when you do it the first time. Oh well.
i just found an option do associate the contacts for you! if u scroll to the contacts tab in HTC sense then scroll to updates and events (its the picture of the person with a clock next to their head) i had a button at the tob which said 'Associate contacts: XX new associations found (xx being the number of new associations)' tap this and select the contacts you want to update (by default it selects all) then tap ok. it will create the associations for any contacts that arnt associated. it will also set the default contact picture to the facebook profile. it will make your contacts lag a bit while it downloads the info but after that it runs fine
if it helps im running 1.66 official hd2 rom from HTC, with radio 2.08

Sorry to reopen this thread, but I'm one of those people! I would also be interested in finding a way to add/backup my fb associations on the PC as MyPhone does not seem to sync them for me I get the fb id's in the <sn> field but not in the <facebook> ones =/
i love the Droid X, but freaking hate the phonebook. it truley is the worse contact list i've used. is there anyway to flash the stock android phonebook onto the phone?
if not, does anyone know how to limit what contacts are displayed? i dont want everyone ive ever emailed to show up in my contacts list. i've tried changing the displayed contacts to my phone contacts, or gmail contacts, but whenever i leave it for a bit it just resets and shows me hundreds of stupid emails.
I had a similar issue, have had my DX about 6 weeks and found some useful articles on the subject. I think (and only my recollection, could be wrong on this) what I ended up doing was un-syncing EVERYTHING in terms of email accounts and contacts (via My Accounts) and ended up ONLY syncing my gmail contacts.
This was done after finding a nifty Facebook Profile Pic sync to Gmail thing-uh-majig. If you sync contacts, preferrably you limit what you sync because as you said, it goes WAY overboard. It sounds like you sync'd corporate (work) email and contact which is a BIG no-no.
Once I started using roms all my contacts issues went away. Almost all the roms have the normal stock android contacts app. Some can even use WyContacts (the CM contacts app).
Edit: @DNak206, hey I'm from seattle too! My droid X is the one verizon gave away during their @droidlanding promotion thing in Seattle.
Yup dc seem to mic all the contacts but if you hate to look because everything seems mixed up ( facebook contact, phone contact and so on ) you can alway preds menu and select a display group.
The way I manage my contact is I have fixed and organize every thing on my gmail thnen I sync my droid.
The eay I use my contact is I dont go yo the contacts shortcut. I always go to the phone shortcut the select favorites since the droid is keeping a record of all of the contact that iI usually use and it has pwen put in order. I also use the defaul universal inbox to send email. I hit compost and start typing names and email and the droid gives a suggestion and I just select one from there.

NICE! I have lived in Seattle awhile, I guess you could say I'm immune to the weather.
While we're on the topic of contacts though, has anyone noticed the default text messaging/SMS will populate ALL the phone numbers for contacts as opposed to identifying the "mobile" listed # for a contact?
For example, if I'm trying to send a text to Jon Smith. I'll compose new message, start typing "smi" in the :TO line and Jon will pop up in the selectable options (or scrollable rather?). The problem is, I have to swipe or scroll through his work, home, and then finally select his mobile number.
Maybe Windows had one thing over Android because neither my TP1 or TP2 would ever list a work or home # when composing a new text, it was actually smart enough to recognize the mobile # in terms of priority. Anyone else found a fix for this, maybe a text app (like handscent or whatever) will resolve?
Handcent or chompSMS might do the trick. When calling someone I know theres an option to remember the number you dialed, not sure about when texting..
If you always send msg or call john he will be under your favorites list. I always go thru the favoritw list and click the call icon on the side of the name to make a call or i click the name then clic the mail icon to send sms.

Hi guys,
I just got my Nexus and am a bit new to Jelly Bean so please be gentle.
I've noticed that you are now forced to use google contacts rather than being able to chose between google, phone and sim. This is fine but I don't see a clear way of separating my contacts into 2 groups and switching between the two. I need a 'Sydney' contacts group and a 'London' contacts group and I'd like to flick between the two and for this change to flow onto all the applications.
In the People app I can add people to a subgroup like Friends, Family, Starred in Android etc. If I go to:
'Contact to display' -> Cusomise -> untick 'My Contacts' and tick a subgroup
This subgroup will be displayed in the People app but the change won't flow into other apps. So for example, If I open messaging and start typing a name in the 'To' field, all the contacts in 'My Contacts' will come up instead of just the sub-group selected.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Has anyone tried to do something similar? Have two separate lists of contacts?

Hi,
I have an Exchange ActiveSync account for work email, contacts etc. I can set up the account as "Exchange" and have access to my email fine, but in my last Nexus 6, in the dialer (PureNexus custom rom) I could start typing names and with a couple of seconds delay, it would return matching results not only from my Gmail contacts, but from within the Active Directory of my work, ie. contacts that I had not saved to any of my accounts. Like for when you search for the phone or email of a colleague that you have not saved as a contact.
This does not seem to be the case with the stock G6 dialer and I see it becoming a PITA sooner or later as I often call several people from work that I don't have or need to save in my contacts permanently. Is there any solution to access Exchange contacts from the Active Directory as I described above?
PS. Also, again on the N6 PureNexus dialer I was able to type company names or places and get their info in the results, I guess that's a Google setting I need to check but anybody knows exactly where it is? Haven't figured it out yet...
Thanks,
M
Try a different dialer?
You can get the Google one from somewhere, or try other ones too.
Make sure the dialer has access to emails as well, the permission might be off.

I Can do this without problem...
Justo go to phone, contacts tab, and on the search contact box, just typing the name of your desired contact. Now, the search results have two parts, the first one, your contacts on your mobile or accounts, the second one, the Exchange Active Directory. I guess you have not selected the "Search online option" under Contacts tab, the three dots option on the upper right corner -> contacts adjustments -> Search Online. Also you must have selected the exchange account under the acounts & sync option...
Note: Maybe the options have a different names, because I have translated from my language (Spanish)...
Hope it helps... Let me know if this works for you...
