Delete Email account?

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.

1. Backup your WM contacts. I recommend using PIM backup to do this.
2. Open up Active Sync (i was using v4.5)
3. Press "set up your device to sync with it" (for exchange server).
4. type your gmail login ([email protected]).
5. Uncheck "Attempt to detect Exchage Server setting automatically"
6. Next
7. type m.google.com as the server address.
8. Check the SSL option.
9. Next
10. User name should be your gmail login, add "@gmail.com" to the end of it.
11. Enter you gmail password.
12. Domain textbox should be disabled and empty...if not then you need to repeat step 10.
11. Next
12. Uncheck everything except contacts and calendar (of course these are optional)
13. Finish
14. Let Microsoft Exchange sync.
15. Login to your gmail account and click contacts (left column under mail folders) and you should have your contacts there.
16. This should automatically sync to your G1 (assuming that your are using the same google account)
Done!
iPhone -> G1
Setting up the sync will erase your contacts!! (in other words...DO STEP 1!)

1. Backup your contacts to your itunes/computer.

17. Login to your gmail account and click contacts (left column under mail folders) and you should have your contacts there.
18. This should automatically sync to your G1 (assuming that your are using the same google account)
Done!

To move my WinMo caontacts over, I did this (fairly painless):
1) export Contacts via Outlook as CSV;
2) upload Contacts.csv to GMail/Contacts;
3) clean up the items I didn't want/need on my phone.
These aren't constantly synced, but everything is all moved over, no problem.

I guess you could do that too if you didnt want to sync

thank you my friend you saved me!!!

you can try funambol
easy as hell

Multiple Google accounts on one G1

Hi
I have 2 Google Apps accounts (one personal and one work)
From what I can tell, you can only sign in with one account into Android and to access the other Mail i will have to use IMAP. Fair enough, i can live with that. But i'm not sure i can live without both cals or google talk on both (or any other aspects which I have yet to check on, such as lattitude, although I cant actually find latitude on my maps app.)
Is there a way of
* syncing more than 1 calendar?
* logging into more than one account in google talk (IM app or others) as when you access the IM prog it brings up a page which looks like it should list all of the accounts you want to access... which, if you cant access more than 1, is a little pointless from what i can make out.
I dont suppose cupcake makes any of this possible does it?
cheers

Hi,
I know that the calendars can be done.
I have several google and apps accounts.
The account you use as the primary needs
to be given FULL access to the other calendar.
Go to the secondary account and do the sharing
and access stuff. I had to dig around a little for
the right procedure in the google help forums. Once
your primary user can edit events on the web for the
secondary calendar then all should be well. Remember
to color code them. I am currently working with three
calendars. They all will show up as one and color coded.
You can't open separate instances for each calendar.
When you add an event on your phone you get a dropdown
to choose which calendar to add it to.

K9 Mail (free app on the Market) is an excellent client that supports multiple IMAP/POP3 accounts.
For calendar sync, it's a little more trickier. You need to share your 2nd calendar with your main one by doing the following:
Sign into Google with your 2nd account.
Go to Calendar, and click on Settings link (top right corner)
On the Calendar Settings page go to "Calendars" tab.
Click the "Share this calendar" link.
Under the "Share with specific people" section, enter the e-mail address of your primary account, select "Make changes AND manage sharing" permission setting, click the "Add Person button, and finally click the "Save" button.
Log out of Google.
Sign into Google with your primary account and go to Calendars.
Go to Settings and verify that the calendar from your 2nd account is now listed under "My Calendars" section.
On your G1 open the Calendar app
Press the Menu button, select "More" and then "My calendars" option.
Press the Menu button again and select "Add calendars" option. This should sync up and present you a list with your 2nd account's calendar.
Select it, save and exit the Calendar app.
Repeat steps 1 through 12 for adding more calendars from your other accounts.
You're done.

I still haven't found a way to sync contacts from multiple gmail accounts. Maybe there's an app for that?

har har har everything works except this hmm. How bout adding all your work contacts to your regular account and make it into a group named "work". That way they don't mix or you can pull up fast.

That work-around is a one-way sync though. Time to put in a feature request at Android Google Code group.

Invisible Account Problem.

I just found an account under calendars that shouldn't be there and I have no clue how to delete it, the account doesn't show up under manage accounts in the settings menu. I'm running SyndicateROM (latest) Loaded.
Any help would be great
First discovered the problem while using the calendar widget with launcherpro.

I have 2 extra calendars on mine.
They both came from my Exchange account, I miss spelled it when I first setup my exchange account, so I removed the account, then re-added it. Later, I decided I wanted to rename it something else, so again I removed it, then re-added my account. Now in my calendars, I have the current one, plus the 2 old ones. I haven't found any way to remove them either.
These extra calendars survive re-loading my ROM. I first did the add/delete when I had a pure stock phone. Since then, I have completely wiped my phone several times, reloaded several ROMs/kernels, etc. And I even reset back to factory using ODIN. Yet the calendars come back as soon as I add my Exchange account back. SO, some how these calendars, in my case, are added into my Exchange account, but they are not visible on my Outlook when I am in the office, nor are they visible on my web Outlook Exchange.
Any one seen this before or have some more insight?
Thanks,
chip

Same, i've wiped a dozen times and loaded half a dozen different roms/kernels, don't understand how to get rid of it.

[SOLVED] - Invisible Account Problem - Calendar - Exchange & Android
I'm happy to report I finally figured this one out. And good news, its a simple fix:
First, backup your calendar (we will be deleting entries next).
1. In Outlook, go to Calendar, then Right Click on your Calendar, Select "Copy Calendar".
2. Select either the parent folder (Mailbox) or any other local PST to save a backup copy of your Calendar.
3. Click OK.
Next, Delete the entries that have the "Category" labels:
1. Right Click on your exchange Calendar (default), Select "Advanced Find".
2. Goto "More Choices", and then in Categories, type in the name of your calendar that keeps showing up in Android. For me, I typed in "Work". This is ALSO the name you entered into Android when setting up your Exchange account on your phone.
3. Press "Find Now" button.
4. Delete all those entries.
5. Repeat step 2-4 for each additional names that you have showing in Android. For me, I had 3 extra calendars, so I had to do this 3 times.
6. Next, go back to Mail, right click on "Deleted Items" and "Empty Deleted Items Folder"
7. Force Outlook to do a Send/Receive so that it syncs with Exchange.
8. Now, go to your Android phone and remove your Exchange account.
9. Add your Exchange account back BUT when it asks if you would like to give the account a "name" (optional), LEAVE IT BLANK! .
10. All done, no extra calendars on your phone.
Hope that helps someone else too.. this was driving me crazy!

[Q] Multiple Google Calendar Sync

I have 4 different google calendars... Birthdays, Class Schedule, Assignments, and my regular personal Calendar. I want to be able to sync all of the calendars with WP7 but everywhere i've looked says it can only be done by syncing the calendars to outlook, then syncing outlook to the phone.
Has anyone figured out a way to do this without syncing it to Outlook? I already have an Outlook calendar for work and merging the two and not being able to differentiate them would just be a big mess...

Setup a google mail account (for each account of course)
Go in those accounts to settings > sync settings > and tick the option "calendar" where you will also find the option for mail and contacts
All the calendar items will appear in the calendar of WP7. Or at least, this is how it works for me
Edit:
Somebody might put some additional notes to this, as i have no idea if the calendar that is used is automatically the outlook calendar?

depends on if u haave a google account for home and another for school like some colleges use the google apps domain to host their email and calendar ervvices you can set this up by going to settings email and accounts then add an account hit google and enter your full email and password even though it says username that threw me off the first time too so im just telling you now
