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.

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.

Gmail only showing last days

Hello,
I have set up my gmail as IMAP with the standard config of the HD2. Everything works fine, the only problem is that the mail only shows the last couple days and not the enitre mail account.
Shouldn't is show all mails I have in my gmail account since it's setup is IMAP?
If so, did I miss a setting?
Thanks in advance for helping!
P.S. I've searched the forum for similar threads but couldnt find one, apologies if it's a double post.

I'm not sure about IMAP but when using activesync to interact with gmail, there is a way to tell it how far back to download emails.
Why aren't you using activsync and gmail's push email service by the way?
When you're setting it up, on the last screen when you are selecting what services you want to use (calendar, contacts, email) if you highlight email then you can click on setting and set how far back you want to sync.
NOTE: Don't try and do tasks or texts because google doesn't support them yet.
Hope this helps

For Yahoo (not Hotmail!)
1. Select eMail in the HD2 Start Menu.
2. Select your mail account (without opening the mail, if you open the mail, simply press back arrow on hardware keys, and then reselect eMail form Start Menu.
This will ensure Mail Account is highlighted.
3. Select Menu > options
4. Tap the account to change settings
5. Select Send/Receive Schedule
6. Select frequency and Download options eg past 3 days, 5, 7, 30, ALL
Download size for mail and attachments also available.
This does not appear to be available for Hotmail account!
Hope this helps.

works fine, thanks

Email Issue.

So I set up my Gmail account and everything was working fine, then after I rebooted my mail wont show up! I though the account might have been deleted somehow but no its still there, it wont show my mail though, when I press inbox It only has 2 options, SMS/MMS and Setup Email, no option for my Gmail. Also when I go to account setting, my Gmail is there, not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Did you set it up using ActiveSync or creating a new inbox?

Did you install SWYPE?
I had the same problem with it cos it seems in that leaked version passwords and general entries arent saved regulary. It just saves entries by time.
Use the normal keyboard and your accounts wont disapper in the tab.
The account is still there.
just go to email tab and click ->menu->account settings
Then you will see the accounts and when you click on it you will see that the important settings are missing (like imap and smtp server settings)
You can now enter the settings again and the account and inbox will be accessable again from your email tab.
My hint:
Just uninstall SWYPE and use the regular keyboard.

HD2US: It won't delete my emails?!

So I notice I have a new email notification, when I check my email in SenseUI, I hit:
Menu > Delete Message
but about 10 or 15mins later, ill get another email notification, it's the same email I just deleted (or so I thought). I've tried this repeatedly and it will still come back. Ill even click the 'Inbox' and see it's gone, only to find out, it came back. The only way it will delete is if I click 'Inbox' instead of 'Menu' and view my email through WinMo, than click the email and hit 'Menu' > 'Delete'.
This is gotta be a bug, how do I go about fixing this? It's really annoying -_-

"Delete" works for me for Exchange account, doesn't work for gmail.

I'm using Gmail, so make sense, but why on earth would it not work for Gmail? This is frustrating.

this just started to happen to me about an hour ago.

I looked through the settings to try to find the keep a copy on the server option but cannot find that for accounts outside of exchange (windows life / outlook) My yahoo and gmail accounts keep pushing emails.
I recreated both accounts and never saw the option to delete the message from the server as well. I have not had time to really look though.

Any update?

Dont use Menu>delete. Just use the soft leftkey DELETE and it wont come back.

have you tried
emails tab - inbox - menu - tools - options - tap the account you are interested in
click send/recieve schedule - bottom of screen click advanced settings and check teh dropdown 'when deleting messages' is set to delete them off the server.

I had this problem with AOL on my HD2 (shush, now. I like AOL mail, dammit!). I found that opening the mail and then deleting it from the menu got rid of the notification, but the mail, itself, would get pushed back every time I got new mail on the server (although without a notification of it being new). It would only truly be deleted when I did so from my PC. It's no biggie as it no longer tells me I have a new message when I don't, but I guess it could be bothersome for folks that get more e-mail than I do.
Note: I don't have this problem with G-mail at all.

HD2 email driving me nuters.

Is this just me or is this SOP for the HD2..
I check my emails with my HD2, I keep the ones I want to, and delete the ones I dont. But the damn phone will not update the emails as read or deleted.
So on the next check cycle, the same emails pop back up as unread. The only way I have found to keep this from happening is to go to my actual email accounts and mark them there. So annoying.
Is there something I am doing wrong, or is my email on my phone screwed up, or is the just the nature of the HD2 email checker?
Is there a way to fix it?

Emails Won't Delete from Server
I too am having a problem getting emails to delete. I can delete them on the phone, but the next time it connects to the pop email server, the deleted messages reappear and I do have the setup marked to delete them from the server.
Email on my Kaiser worked perfectly with the same settings until I flashed a recent 6.5.x rom at which time it started having the same problems. I assumed this was a problem with the ROM, but the T-Mobile official ROM does the same thing.

just to be sure, is your email account set up as the "Outlook email" or a standard email account?
if it is a standard email account, make sure you are using IMAP and NOT POP3.

Can't remember from the back of my head right now, but tinkering with the settings somewhere for each account, there's an option to "delete and put into the trash can" or "delete it completely off the server".

Solution for Delting E-Mails
The following worked for me. I found that changing the setup to delete immediately as opposed to the default setting of delete on connect/disconnect fixed the problem.
Click the "Windows" hardware button and select "E-Mail" / "Menu" (soft key) / "Options" / "Storage" (tab) and change "Empty deleted items" to immediately.
