How can I delete a mail account

I've successfully set up a couple of pop3 accounts on my XDA Exec, but I let the name of the 1st one default to POP3, and now I can't change it - that option is greyed out when you go through the account options to reconfigure. I can find no way of deleting it elsewhere. Can anyone tell me how to rename or delete the account?
Thanks

When in options select the account as you would if were trying to edit. Select "Fn + Space" you'll get a delete menu

Many thanks jah, totally sorted!

Outlook Emails Deleting

Can someone tell me how to delete an Outlook email message on my handheld (mogul) without having it delete the same message on the exchange server? My blackberry would prompt me to delete on handheld, or both, which was an option I would like to have. Thanks

When you configure an Outlook or Email account on your phone there is a setting by the end of the configuration that specifies if you want to delete the message from the server or to leave it intact.
You can edit these settings by going into options on the main menu of your messaging screen. Edit your email account. Go through the settings and when you get to the screen with the [Automatic: Send/Receive] [Download Messages]. There is a link at the bottom saying Advanced Settings, click on it. Whithin this menu there is a scroll down option that allows you to either delete the message off the server or to keep it on the server. chose the one you want. Then save your setup.

Thanks for your reply Carlos. The options that you mentioned are available for my POP3 email account settings, but are not available when I enter the options for my Outlook email account. Thanks

Hmm my last gues would be that when you go into the outlook settings on your phone chose only to download the header or a small portion of the email that way it keeps the orginal / full message on the server. That is weird because I delete my email from outlook on my phone and it doesnt delete it from the server unless i go into outlook on my comp and once i delete it from there it will delete it from my phone once I sync.

Why not use IMAP?
I have found IMAP works a lot better then POP or any other feature. It's like a mirror image of looking at your email. Now with google supporting IMAP it's a nice token.

That's right, but with imap account you have to select too in: "option -> stockage [TAB] -> emptied delete folder: immediately".
Otherwise, messages will not be deleted from your computer.

It appears to me that if you are using exchange activesync, then you get exactly what is on the exchange server in the inbox.
I have set up some folders to help keep my PDA inbox uncluttered.

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
, i press and hold the hotmail account in the list, the popup has one entry - Delete - but it is still greyed out. Arrrrrgh. Any movement on this issue?
Sam

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.

Email - leave messages on server

Is it just me or device deletes messages from server after send,receive?

You have to edit the mail account and tick that you want the messages to stay on the server. You will not be asked when creating the account...

Can you please tell me where is this option?
I have searched in manual settings, even after creating account, but I don't find it.
I know there was an option for this on my previous, wm6.1 phone, but here on hd2 on wm6.5 i can't find it...I suppose I need to search for it in outlook settings..but I don't find accout settings there...

Ok. I have the Danish version, so the names might be slightly different.
Edit your account -> Schedule for send/receive -> advanced -> here it is.

Thanks...10 characters

Np, did it work?

No...
I go to email tab...I press edit accout...then I need to select account...I select it...and then I have the same thing like when you add new account...and I can change manual settings...I don't find any advanced options...

No...

Go to Inbox, then Menu -> Tools -> Options

As soon as you choose the account you will edit you get 3 choices, right? Then choose the one with send/receive. Then you can choose schedule and how old the messages are allowed to be. In the bottom there is an advanced link...

download full email

Hey I had a blackjack 2 before with wm6.5...in that phone i would be able to change the settings to allow the whole email (yahoo mail) on the phone to download. On this phone it only downloads a small amount of the email and no images until after i select it to. Anyway to change it so it downloads the full email? Thanks

Go to outlook -> menu -> tools -> options -> select account -> download size settings. Then change your download limit.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the email program (which I referred to as outlook) on the HD2, go to your inbox and then go to the menu option.. and so on.

It was a little different on my HD2:
start
email
select your account you want to change
menu
scroll and select tools
options
tap account you want to change
click next on edit server setting screen
click next on user information screen
pick e-mail (mine shows contacts, calendar, and e-mail)
click settings
tap download size settings
select entire message from drop down
done
I use gmail trough exchange to sync my email, calendar, and contacts, that may be why mine is different.

OMG, thank you so much.

Damn they made that difficult! Thanks for the help!!

Seems weird.

I changed all these settings when I setup my phone. Still does not download automatically download images until I tell it to.
-download size: full message
-automatically download images
Just an FYI
Anyone else notice this?
