Is it possible to copy/restore cemail.vol in any way? - HD2 General

I want to auomate as much as possible because I'm jumping between ROMs, and the provisioning XML's can't set all settings on the mail account, like "When deleting messages, Keep them on the server". I can not loose any work E-mail because I forget to set that on a new ROM. So it seems like copying a new, correctly set up file and restore CEMail.vol through the XDA UC process is the only option.
But I can't find out how. There is a Mortscript by hercule18 that supposedly does it on WM5, but I don't get anywhere with my WM6.5 HD2. Any help would be appreciated!

Email account disappeared, but is still there?

I just installed the new i-Mate ROM onto my 8125. Everything was going well until I opened Pocket Outlook to read my email and the account was missing from the list! I rebooted, it did not come back. I then went to re-create the account and it told me I couldn't use the name for the account because it was being used by another. But when I go to accounts, it's not listed there. Has anyone had this happen to them? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
had same problem;
solution HARD RESET.
Sorry
and deconfigured BT and wifi connections ?¿?
Regards
the file;cemail.vol is corupted and it cannot be deleted belive me i tried
here is what todo;
backup your machine
hard reset then restore it minus the mail folders and the cemail.vol file
that way you only lose settings from the mail folders. better than lose everthing.more informatio hereabout this problem;http://msmobiles.com/f/viewtopic.php?t=7091&sid=5f3039a90fbac525e018ee2bab2e03a4
Thanks guys. I ended up just hard resetting the device and re-creating the mailbox. I think part of it may have had to do with running some of my Cingular Extended ROM CAB files after creating the mailbox. It's been fine since, was a little more selective with the CABs I installed.

Phantom Email after Backup

I ran my spb backup and now have 1 extra email that I can't account for.
My gmail account is no longer listed in the messaging area either.
Anyone know how to get rid of the phantom email?
-- edit--
on further research the phone sees the missing gmail account but it's not displaying in messaging. Is there an area in the registry to remove this entry?
I have the same issue, phone can see the gmail account, but it does not show in messaging
I searched my phone's file & reg system and couldnt find anything.. anyone know?
I found some registry settings for gmail, but if I delete them, they just come back after a re-set. If I find anything I will post it here.
from what i can tell it happens when you restore old messages with the new rom version. the only way i was able to get it to go away was to do a hard reset and not restore the text messages.
I am in the same boat with my gmail account after updating to 6.1
Has anyone figured anything out? I have tried everything with the registry and looking though the My Device/Windows/Messages folder, but I haven't had any luck.
I think it has something to do with the cemail file in the windows folder.
Can someone please please help?
There is a program called FixUnreadCount floating around either here or ppcgeeks. I will link to it if I find it otherwise search for it. This usually fixes that problem.
Try searching for the file that ryanbg mentioned on www.pdaphonehome.com under the 6700 forums. I had that issue with my XV-6700 and that program cleared it up.
tried it.. did not work. The file was floating right here on xda..
I now have two phantom e-mail accounts. I'm on a Diamond and used sprite backup, but the problems seem very similar. I'm almost out of ways to write gmail.. Still noone with any clue?
I eventually had to do a hard reset, it was the only way to fix it.
The error isn't in the registry but in the outlook database. I restored the system databases. What I figured happened is that my newly configured email account didn't have the same UID as it did before I created the ROM. So, Outlook has no way to clear the records in that database for that email account that no longer exists. Windows CE or wm5 used to allow you access to those databases, but I don't see anything under Settings for it now. I'm sure there are other programs out there that would work, but you probably took the easiest route. You can do your restore again, just don't restore the system or "other" databases.

Automated purge of ActiveSync email?

My back is against the wall, and I'm hoping someone has a creative idea on how to do this...
I am looking for a way to purge the ActiveSync email from a Windows Mobile 5/6 device through a combination of registry or file system settings, or perhaps some application, ie. something I could do with MortScript. Deleting the PIM data (calendar, contacts, tasks) is trivial...rename the pim.vol file, force a reboot, and have another Mortscript file waiting in \Windows\StartUp to then delete the old file. Email, on the other hand, is really, really hard. You can delete the email bodies and attachments in \Windows\Messaging, but the index remains in cemail.vol. I've read about one technique to outright delete cemail.vol, but this database also houses SMS messages, making this a bad idea.
Then I found the Registry value ClientReset, located in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{GUID}, which does exactly what I want...except that it doesn't have an effect when the program that stored the email was written instead by a third party, and just borrowing the ActiveSync message store. I can set up an ActiveSync connection, wait until it starts to sync, cancel it, then make sure ClientReset=1, and re-sync...but the purpose of the project is to automate the process. It seems ActiveSync is looking in one of the *.vol files for its cue to obey ClientReset, but even if I could find the value, folder, whatever, I know of no way to change the databases through scripting.
Has anybody been able to do this, or does anyone have ideas?
Many thanks for your suggestions!

Lost setting of mail etc

Yesterday I suddenly lost all settings (not files).
It was a routine day. I power off every night. In the morning, all settings are lost:
HSPA cannot connect. I need to run the setup of the mobile operator data (touch the data connection of the settings->Wireless Control tab)
Wifi lost their SSID and pwd.
Exchange lost the password, but not the server name etc.
Windows live and hotmail lost my credentials.
Inbox lost my POP3 accounts. However, the POP3 accounts are still present on the Sense Messaging tab.
Anybody has similar experiences? What might have triggered it? What could be done when it happens? Yesterday, I created all my POP3 accounts afresh, and re-type password to every place listed above.
It just happened a second time.
Sense messaging still knows the account exist, but details (server, id/pwd) are lost. I found it easier to edit the account in Sense, which will re-create the account to Inbox (last time, I did it in Inbox, and it won't allow me to use the same account name -- it says account already existed).
And I noticed that MalekoUK has a similar experience in this thread.

LoL very confusing Like here.
Things that may have triggered it on my phone. Pulling the battery. Removing and replacing sim card. Installing T-Mo version of swype.

In my second case, I pulled battery becuase it hanged during Sktools backup. I don't remember the details of the first.
You can solve easily your problem with sashimi and makisu applications by bengalih.
Install sashimi and its plugin makisu on your sd card, run sashimi and go in "customized plugins" and run makisu
here you can save your email and wifi settings in 2 (or also one I think, but am not sure of that) xml files
when your settings are lost for some reason, you can use makisu for providing the xml files you have created and, in few seconds, you have your email and wifi settings back.
I recommend you to learn the usage of sashimi....a "must have" application for me!
Greetings
lost email settings
it happened to me after I unistalled swype. I suppose swype is the problem here.
I use official ROM 1.66
Yes I experienced the same thing with swype installation on italian 1.66 stock rom, but I solved in few seconds with the xml previously created with makisu.
That doesnt solve the issue though. Only takes me a minute to enter everything back. Just shouldn't disappear in the first place.
this has happened to me a few times...weird and annoying...

Do you know where the email, wifi and data connections are saved? If I know where they are in the registry, I can manager them myself without sashimi.
happened 2 me today.

What's your FAVORITE way of saving configuration between ROMs

Was wondering how does each one keeps his settings and configuration between changing ROMS. Including keeping the Call history, SMS history etc...
I have tried Sashimi once but was overwhelmed with the settings and learning curve and decided to neglect it. I use my HD2 as a business tool and don't have hours to spend each time on configuring between ROMs.
Well, if you see your HD2 as a "business tool" imo it would be the best solution to decide for one ROM and keep it for a while...
I use a mixture of Sashimi, Outlook, MyPhone and CeRegEditor. With Sashimi I backup my mail-account-setup, with MS MyPhone I backup my SMS and WWW-bookmarks, with Outlook (of course) I "backup" my appointments and contacts, with CeRegEditor I backup my app-registration-info out of the registry that I do not always have to re-activate my apps and type in serials etc.
That does it for me. I don't like full-backup-solutions like Sprite or SPB Backup.
Cheers
spb backup for my mail,contacts and text messages.
And at last sashimi to install al my programs quickly.
And my own created cab with registery entries so I can quickly change everthing.

Pretty much EXACTLY what I do as well...
I dont simple, the only thing i have backed up is my memory card on the pc and contacts, calender in myphone that's it I like to change the settings differently on ROM's
Sashimi for Mail-Config, applications, registry-tweaks
MyPhone for text messages, bookmarks and tasks
Sashimi changed my life
I'm with mischgin regarding sashimi.
It alone can manage most of the things some of you do with 5 different apps
Cab autoinstall, either on internal memory or SD (you chose which goes where), registry key importing (export with total commander, sashimi will reimport back), single file copying (mirroring the root folder structure), XML provisioning for wifi and mail accounts via makisu.
This is what I use, and on top of that I only need pimbackup to restore everything else which is PIM related.
I don't use the EXE and CERT folders of SAHIMI (yet), but I can pretty much restore *everything* automatically.
The only things I don't, is because I don't knows their registry entries in order to export them (for instance, everything you change from under manila settings )
SPB backup without a doubt!
I dont use any kind of backup.
I use a rom that uses the autoinstall folder,
i created a cab of my email settings using makisu (sashimi's little brother),
and a cab of my registry tweaks(including the home quicklinks), which i update as and when i find more tweaks,
and i sync with Outlook on the pc for contacts.
Mail gets restored because my phone doesnt delete it off the server, so its still there next time you send/recieve, (unless the PC has checked them in the meantime, of course, in which case they are on the PC, and subsequently in the outlook email account on teh phone)
I dont back up txt's, i've never understood why anyone keeps them, to me its the same as recording every phone call and keeping the recordings, , why???
From the start of teh hard reset to being completely set up and synched, takes about 20 minutes. (Including teh time for the OS and apps to instal)
EDIT - oh, and lots of apps dont need to be reinstalled if you plan on using them from the sd card.
Just create a link to the executable and many of them still work.
I hard code a quicklink to things like that into my quicklinks reg cab.
I really really really really really really want a quick easy way of restoring my email settings
And as most programs don't really need installing on each ROM change I wish it was easy to tell them to store Application data on the storage card and for Cookie's tab to automatically restore icons by saving them to the Storage card (as in, the actual icon files, not just the standard backup). CorePlayer, TomTom, AiReader and GRemote are examples of programs that don't really need reinstalling.

ditti, currently doing same but if I found something to back up email config, facebook setting and a couple of others, it would be good
what i usually do is auto backup with NRGZ's systems export backup tool and xda uc. Also copy the progam files folder which the apps are installed on the phone and if you wantthe start menu folder in windows which has all the shortcuts etc (saves time doing it one by one).
All you have to do is just copy and past those 2 folders back in the correct places after you flash. Everythings back to how it was. Also use PIM for contacts and sms. Takes no longer than 5-10 mins to get it exactly how i want
