I have been trying to set up the hotmail account.
I've tried a couple of times and eventually got an account set up. Then trying it last night, it just decided that it didn't want to connect.
So i tried to delete the old one but it wont let me as its greyed out.
So i created a new one, hoping that the old one will become active and allow me to delete the old one.
Now when i go into the account settings, my yahoo accounts are active and can be deleted, but the 2 hotmail account, one account called hotmai the new one called hotmail.com are just greyed out.
What can i do to make the hotmail account active so that i can delete it?
i am having the same problem too.
I have used an workaround (first create hotmai then edit to hotmail) to add 2 hotmail acco
unts on the device, but there is no way to remove it.
I take it that no one has come across this problem before?
or have i put this is the wrong place?
I found that I could create the account using the "Windows Live" application, and everything was simpler from there.

+1. Sod it +100!
Windows live allows you to set up 1 hotmail account with minimal effort and also gives you push email ability. Unless you want multiple hotmail accounts then you shouldn't be doing it any other way.

thats fine, but what would a person do if they already have 2 hotmail accounts and the accounts are greyed out so that deleting them normally isn't an option?? Any suggestions?

Still cant delet the hotmail account though...still greyed out

I'd like to know if I can add another hotmail account alongside the one that is automatically configured by Pocket MSN.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Anyone?
because you don't get enough spam in the first folder??
I guess u can if u go through the manual set up process, and not the msn one. I have set up a few (e.g dial up,yahoo, hotmail) so more than 1 hotmail should be possible
I have multiple hotmail accounts in Pocket outlook, but I use izymail to access them as pop accounts. It cost $20/yr or something like that. Pretty reliable service but I'm sure there are others that are probably cheaper. I've been using izymail for approx 2 yrs with no major issues.
You can switch hotmail acounts, it has "Switch User" option in Pocket MSN
I managed to get 2 hotmail set up on mine though it weas by accident and I was trying to get rid of the other one. I set up my 1st account in msn. installed windows live messenger beta, then set up the second account in that. in outlook I ended up with 1 account labelled hotmail and another labelled windows live. both worked.

Using this service, you can 'fuse' all your hotmail/msn accounts together and collect them via imap in the built in email client.
costs around £1.60 every 3 months
Where do I delete the Email-account I just created just for testing..?
in message menu, click menu then tools then options.
From there select the account to delete and then keep holding down on it till you get the pop up menu, select delete.
deleting exchange email account?
I set up an exchange account, but then I decided I wanted to delete it so I could set up the webmail account instead. I have no trouble deleting a gmail account, but for the exchange/outlook account it won't let me remove it. Any advice or suggestions? I'm tech retarded so if anybody has any suggestions, can they write it so a 12 year old could figure it out? Thanks!
Figured it out!!!
If you're having trouble deleting an exchange account... try this... worked for me:
Start-> Programs-> active sync ... from there, delete your account and it should auto delete it from your email accounts too. Good luck!

I have a similar issue, I set up a "hotmail" account that uses windows live, and even if I set the windows live scheduler to "manual" it still keeps connecting and syncing the phone.
I want to remove the hotmail account setup completely (I have 2 gmail accounts set up perfectly happily), but the "delete" option in Messaging > Options (where all the accounts are displayed), is always greyed out.
Unlike Outlook accounts, the Hotmail account is NOT available via Active Sync, so I can't get at it that way.
Can I remove this account by editing the registry??
AHA!! - I think I just did it! Go into Windows Live, select "Switch Accounts", and then on the first part of setting up a new account, hit the "Reject" button. Windows live disconnects the old account first, by the looks of it.
Solution found, thread closed
So,
in a first look, this question may seam as an waste of time.. but, two days ago, i went from e71 to HD2... i find hd2 excelent phone, but some features are not as good as i suposed that would be.
first of all, it took me TWO (?!) days to configure e mail, but man would say it is not a rocket science... lol (i had that well known proxy problems, etc...)..
but now, i find VERY iritating the fact that e mails come to my phone with 5-20 (depends on don't know what...) delay?
I use GMAIL, and in a nut shell - my settings are - automatic every 5 minutes.
It is very strange, because my Nokia E71 was perfect, mail arrived SAME time on mobile and gmail....
what should i do to make it "100% push"?
thank you!
I don't know, but if it took you 2 DAYS to configure the e-mail and went thru proxy issues, it is very likely that at some point you misconfigured something and therefore, it's not working smoothly....
I say so because my gmail works just fine, as it should be. Perhaps you should just delete the account and set it up again from scratch.

thnx for answer.. but, today i went thru ROM update (to 1.48), and i set up whole mobile again (no backup), and same problem again.
i went thru auto setup, not manual, - "like as it should be done"..
if you want push then go through "Outlook" in the Email account wizard and set up your gmail account that way.
if you've set it to check every 5minutes, then it's going to give you a delay.
you can add push gmail through active sync - add server source, through device center or ActiveSync on your pc or through 'data services' on the settings tab of HTC sense. instructions are outlined at Google sync services webpage, you could eh google that.

goto active sync
enter full email address, untick "attempt to auto detect"
server address "m.google.com" keep ticked this server requires etc....
User name - your full email address again, password and look at all options. You can sync calendar and contacts too. You need to sync twice to get both calendar and contacts working.

I don't think that's possible, I also want to add 2 accounts for push e-mail (Exchange and GMail)
As far as I know, you can only use one exchange account.
When you've added push gmail through active sync is there any way to rename the outlook account to Gmail ? Just looks a bit odd going to 'outlook' to read my gmails.
so.. nokia vs htc 1:0..
i had two accounts - two GMAIL accounts, and it was working WITH NO DELAY, with regular setup..
so, very disapointing in HTC's features...

Hi
I hope someone out there has come across this problem and found a solution.
I created a hotmail account and it was working for a while then just decided to stop working. I tried to delete the account and start again but it just wont let me delete it. I have a yahoo account and it will quite happily let me delete that one, but the hotmail account is greyed out so cannot be selected.
I've look through all the menu's and gone through various suggestions I have found on here but to no avail.
I now have 2 email accounts (both hotmail) that no longer work and I can no longer delete.
Help Help Help!!
Have you tried to go to Manila Email tab and press menu -> account settings?
Do it and tell me if you see the accounts.
Are you using SWYPE?
If so - dont use swype anymore as i had the issue that the mail accounts disappeared as the entered data wasnt saved.
If you can open up the account settings just fill in the empty fields like pop/imap server and smtp server and password if it disappeared too.
Holla at me if you still need help and figuer out that i was right
Hi
I'v look at account settings and the 4 email accounts I have are there, but the 2 hotmail accounts i set up previously (the one's i'm having problems with) are there but they are greyed out.
I cant select them at all to delete them.
No, not using swype, i'm still on the standard 1.43 rom from 02 UK.
Hi
did you find a solution, I have the exact same problem
Cheers

Just a stab in the dark, but have you tried installing (or if you haven't update Windows Live through the Windows Marketplace app)/reinstalling the Windows Live app?
I know from experience the version off the marketplace is newer than the pre-installed version and overwrites the old version and so may overwrite/get rid of the unworking Hotmail accounts?
and don't forget that if you signedinto the live app it creates an undeleteable hotmail account that only disappears once you log out of the live app
Hi
thanks for the suggestions, the account is not created through Windows live. I created it by putting in the pop3 and smtp details, its been working OK since just after Xmas. Only thing that as happened recently, is that like others have mentions some of my other email account settings got lost. The email account was set up following the instructions in tip 43 from the Tips and Registry tricks post at the top of this forum. I have other accounts set up in the same way and they are working OK.
I am running stock WWE 1.66 rom
Cheers
Andy
Guys, what worked for me is:
Go to inbox through the Mail tab.
Choose Menu.
Choose Tools
Choose Options
Touch and Hold the account and choose Delete.
Bye Bye Greyed out email account.
I have to make a note that some options of Manilla does not work, but if you approach it from Windows options, then it works.
Good Luck, people of XDA.
In my case it was because I was signed in to Windows Live. Just go to the Messenger screen, option, and choose to change account, and press yes. The account will disappear.
Hi,
I have 2 email accounts that I'd like to remove. Hotmail and Windows Live. They stopped syncing all of a sudden and when I select either of them and select Inbox, the next screen shows Set up Email account. When I try to set up my Hotmail and Windows Live email account again, I get a message saying that these accounts already exist.
I installed Windows Live 10.7 after trying out the above, but still no luck.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

even your hotmail and Windows Live Mail boxes are highlighted? Mine's greyed out...
if you allow them to be set up automatically then you need to go top the live app and remove your login details, which should remove the linked email account.

The Live app creates another Hotmail and another Windows Live Mail account which I can remove using Live app. The original accounts still remain in the Email Tab.
ahh.
no help then, sorry.
