Database Users

Can't access or delete old email accounts

I'm with the latest ROM and apart the lack of A2DP it is very good.
Unfortunately I restored (with SPB Backup) some pop accounts that are neither visible to remove, nor available to use (arrrrgggg!!!!)
I only noticed it because: - spb diary shows them
- messaging refuses to create a pop3 with the same name (although it doesn't show it to delete or edit)
I know the detailes are stored in a system db but dbview refuses to cooperate. It only shows MSN database ?!?! with 0 records.
Where shoud I go now. I just want to edit the database and delete those crappy email accounts. Any clues? I'm stuck. I made an hard reset yesterday to install the new ROM. Not in a mood to repeat the thing...
help?

C'mon guys! Any clues? How can I delete those messaging ghost accounts?

I too am having the same problem. Everything mentioned above, plus it's still showing my old e-mail acc'ts (and the unread message count) in the today menu. Any advice?

I wanted to report that I tried an idea; however, it failed. I thought I could use SPB Backup to make a new backup in the device current's state (That is, the e-mail ghosting error) and not include e-mail in this new backup. What I was hoping for was to have the device restor everything else (leaving the e-mail out) and, thus, reset the e-mail. For some reason it didn't. The device loaded perfectly. Even so much that included the ghosting e-mail accounts.
I know this isn't a solution, but maybe someone with some more experience can read something into that.

that solution didn't work because the ghost account info is stored in the system databases.
maybe a solution can be found contacting spb because the OS is not showing it. just spb software. maybe it's tagged for not show in database and spb soft is showing it.
another way is using software to edit system databases but it.s a more risky option. and I don't know what's the best soft to do it.
keep me posted if you find a way to clean/hide those accounts.

I've sent an e-mail to SPB. I'll post their response in this thread. Were you able to add new accounts? I still cannot vía T-Mobile's "Send POP Settings To Phone" tool, nor "Set Up My E-mail" on the phone.

Glad Im not alone! I upgraded to 2.21 and restored my email from 2.17. I think that was issue. I had this happen once before with original OEM ROM upgrade to 2.17 and had to cold boot and start over again. Just too tired.
I hope there is an answer from Spb. thks for emailing them.

I get the feeling that the key thing here is not to restore email from Spb Backup after u just upgraded ROM, like I did to 2.21. Then Diairy would not have email accounts, and u could create new accounts with outlook. I have a 3rd party email editor just incase I need email, but pain in the rear to have to cold boot again. Cause again, this happned to me upgrading from OEM Rom to 2.17. I had to cold boot and start email again.
Hard lesson, hope Spb has an answer.

I seem to be working on my own problem here, cause no time to wait for answers.
I decided to remove Spb Diary. Now WM5 is not exactly a science when it comes to removing apps, but it did, and several questions poped up in reference to keeping old Diary configuration for future use, i simply said NO. Cause I will re install Diary, and it will pickup contacts and new email accounts, which I will 1st configure with out look now. Better then cold boot bro's.
Well this worked, and oulook popped up and I setup my accounts again. Hard lesson to learn. Next ROM upgrade I will NOT restore my old email accounts before setting them up with outlook, then re installing Diary.

Please help can't get rid of old Outlook accounts

How would I do this??? it is so weird... they just are there on my back up but I can't follow or find any files to them..

Hi,
Removing the account is easy:
Start Pocket Outlook, goto menu - tools - options
You see the list of active accounts, just tap and hold the account you would like to remove and the popup menu pops up. Tap on delete and your account will be deleted.
Hope this helps!

NO NO NO... lol tech support just said the same thing... I can't see them... but they are there because when I put the exact same name it says, "you can't have a duplicate account... AND my PBreeze shows them too... but the only active one are the current ones that I have configured correctly.

when this happened to me, I had to hard reset, then used my latest spb backup to back up everything except the mail stuff, then I recreated my accounts, this was what spb advised me to do and it worked.
Good Luck with this.

How about:
1) Restore your current backup.
2) Backup your device again missing out the mail stuff
3) Hard reset
4) Restore the new backup
I might have to do this shortly

That's what I ended up doing, it saved me a lot of time as the only thing left to do afterwards was recreate the mail stuff.
Hope it goes OK

ahhh. lol, I am a dodo head... I see what you're saying now... yes... I get it... lol hmmm wish I thought of that...
however, did you notice problems whith other things as well... for example I use spbtime and get an error all the time can't exucute spbtime.exe notify or something like that... comes up all the time....

I seem to remember there were a few minor issues, mostly with programs that I had installed to my storage card. I think there were about 2 apps which I had to uninstall and then re-install to get everything back to absolutely perfect. In my case the issues arose because I had sent back my original Vario II to t-mobile (screen alignment probs) and they sent me a new/reconditioned machine in return. Obviously things must have been very slightly different, and this led to the mail problem.
Apparently another thing which is crucial is setting the time/region etc correctly after a hard reset.
You could try an uninstall and then re-install of this particular application, or look on spb's forum and ask for help there, they are very good with most issues that come up.
I saw suggested on one forum that if doing a hard reset and complete re-installation instead of using backup, it's a good idea to do an extra backup at the stage when only really, absolutely crucial tried and tested applications are on, a kind of 'baseline' backup. However, I've never been patient enough to do this myself!

Transfer SMS from one G1 to another

Hello,
Is there a way to transfer SMS from one G1 to another. My G1 stopped charging and I will be getting a replacement soon. I want to keep all of the SMS that I had and transfer them to the other G1.
Please let me know how this is done and what software I need.
I have a rooted G1 with JF1.5 Firmware.
Thanks alot,
Moe

Check the market for an SMS back up program. There are some that will back it up to your SD card and some that back it up to your gmail account. Not sure about restoring them though, my text have never been that important that I need to back them up.

I dont think there is a restore function in any of them i was looking for one of these but didnt find one.

MyBackUpPro can backup and restore just about anything. Just dont use it to restore your contact, it WILL screw up your syncing. SMS, most settings and apps work fine though.

myPhone is a 2-way sync. This means if your contacts are on the website, they should be sent to your phone when you sync.
If not, either your contacts were never sent to the website, or they are stored in the website's Archive.
If you can't find them on the website, your contacts may be gone

No no, Exchange server, is microsoft's "google sync" i never used a windows phone, but i know in windows mobile i was able to backup my contacts to an xml file then used an online converter to convert it to vcd to be restored in android. And in windows mobile i used smschat to backup my inbox. Look in the windows phone store for any type of backup software and get back to me with them and i'll see what sort of conversions i can do.
