As I have been sifting through the forum I have come across several threads about people wanting to know how to get rid of outlook e-mail from messages.
The e-mail I have set up on my kaiser is the same as my outlook on my pc, so when I sync I get duplicate e-mails and have to disable the option to sync mail with pc, but this still leaves the outlook account in messages.
Well here's how to get rid of it.
First you will need a registry editor, I recommend Resco Registry editor but others will work fine.
Then you will need to make a backup of the registry key we are going to delete. So open up your registry editor and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc
Now in here you will find several folders(so to speak). These include Activesync, imap4, pop3, MMS1 and SMS.
Go into Activesync and their should be a key called "Friendly Name" this should say something like "Outlook" go back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc then select the "Activesync" folder and use menu to export the folder as a .reg file (backup file) then select the "Activesync" folder again, but this time delete it.
Now close your reg editor and go into messages and the Outlook title should be replaced with the title Activesync. Just soft-reset your device and the Outlook mailbox including "Activesync" has now disappeared leaving just the e-mail accounts and other message accounts that you use whilst mobile.
Should you wish to restore this option just inport the .reg file you created into the registry and soft-reset and it'll be back.
Well I hope this helps. And quick thanks to all members of this forum for your continued support to the community and even helping the little guys.

Thanks! Great solution!
EDIT: Wiped out my outgoing MMS. Dropped registry backup back in and both MMS and Outlook Mail were back.

Why do you have duplicate emails? With an exchange server, your emails on device and in your pc's outlook will replicate - and without exchange they sync anyway?
What's the settings for MMS1? I don't have that in my registry.

Each of these folders represent an account within messages. So "Activesync" is "outlook" (used and updated when syncing with a pc version of outlook or using an exchange server), IMAP4 Corresponds to my (@btinternet.com/using imap), SMS is for SMS (go figure/lol), MMS1 (this can also just be MMS on some device/dependant on version of Arcsoft) POP is for my (@3mail) account and Hotmail is for hotmail (in juction with using Windows live).
So by deleting the "activesync" folder you are in effect deleting the information to display the account.
Also I deleted the imap4 folder (after making a backup of course of the reg entry) And soft-reset the device. It removed my @btinternet account with e-mails. But after i imported the .reg backup I made and soft-reset the device again the account returned with all e-mails intact and fully readable.
**Possibility for a freeware app to hide accounts that are private??? using a password to auto add/remore .reg to access accounts or maybe not. **
Thanks trying to bring something to those who have helped me... Thanks

Hi unwired, The reason I get duplicates is because I don't actually use an exchange server. I have my @btinternet.com account set up on both my home Supreme Pc, My laptop and my Kaiser. But when I used to cradle my kaiser with my pc (mainly for appointments) to update it used to download my e-mails from outlook on my pc to my kaiser. So in the outlook account on my kaiser would be all the e-mails from my pc version of outlook, then in my @btinternet.com account were the same e-mails that I collected whilst I was mobile.
So I needed access to my @btinternet account whilst mobile but in the outlook folder that wqould not let me sync so then i had to set up the other.
So i stopped it syncing with outlook messages on the pc and then decided to try and get rid of the outlook account, which is what i then proceeded to do!
Ok i am going to stop now before i start going round in circles..
But thanks for the question..

Your welcome mate. To be honest I think it was your comment about it I came accross the other day on the forum, which is one of the reasons I decided to post it. I'll try and help more if I can. I've just setup talking dial tones. so when I dial a number it says the number rather than beep. Thanks to grumps for the tones!! I think he's compiling an app to do this easier. But i couldn't wait and so set it up via the registry...
Oh www.htcclassaction.org reports we could have proper display drivers by the end of march!! So fingers crossed our Kaiser will fullfil their legacy!!

Cool. Thanks for explaining.
Thanks Diigibio.
I don't have that registry file (obviously). I have the Shogun's Palm SMS threading program installed and lost my MMS'. The fix to install the Arcsoft composer and run an enablemms.cab never worked for me. I wonder if this is what it's trying to fix.

Yeah, sounds like it. If you post that .cab here. I'll take a look for you mate and see what I can come up with over the next week. Failing that I can take my .reg setting for the mms and possibly create a link to the default messaging app.
However my best mate has an o2 xda orbit and I installed WM6 on it but there is no 6.1 yet and he wanted threaded sms. So i installed Shogun's Palm sms. Now when he opens that app he does not have mms, however when I linked to the default messaging app that still contained his mms account and all the mms I sent him were waiting there for him.
So try this out and if you need my help just ask. You can PM me for my e-mail address if you want to send the .cab direct or ask for any other help. I am at work tomorrow(or should I say today) and am on a sleep over so i will check my pm but it'll be from my Kaiser.
Hope I could help..

I have used a .cab analyser on the enablemms.cab and it contains no registry entries at all (none will be added or removed(except for unistall info and platform.reg which I believe is more to do with os at a guess))
and contains these files:
CeSetup.dll in the \Program Files\Tools Folder
checkfile.exe in the windows folder
Platformxxx.reg in the windows folder
CM_Entries.xml in the windows folder
And
Customize.lst in the \Program Files\Tools folder
Let me know how you get on..

hi there again...
the trick works great, but I think, that I have a small problem in here.
after applying Your trick on my stock t-mob uk vario III everything went fine except loosing sound for new sms. even if I have ticked in my options to play sound and show message I can't hear or see any notification. only sign of new message is number of new messages in the middle of htc home plugin.
now.. I made a backup of that key before deletion, but...
I've deleted it.. '(-_-)
any chance for You to post that .reg file for me mate?? or if You have some other solution, then I would be more than happy to avoid hard reset.

No worries mate, I still have sound on my sms notifications although I did have to deselect play sound in sound and notifications and reset then re-select the play sound option. And it worked for me but I have a stock htc tytn II. I am at work on my kaiser at the moment and the browser won't let me add an attachment, so when I get my laptop out at 6 i'll post the .reg entry. Fancy deleting it !! lol.. Check back around 6.30. It'll def be on tonight pal..

I know I sound like a dumbo saying that it's deleted.. but ... oh well
thank You again

never mind, fix was sweet anyway. I'll try to play with it bit mo.

Thanks for the update diigibio. I appreciate any help. How did you link your friend's phone to the default MMS messaging app? Or would it help if I tried to reapply registry settings?

The default messaging application remains untouched, especially when installing third party replacements such as SMS threading (IMSMS, Palm, Textr and so on). The default link goes to \Windows\tmail.exe.
The quickest way to do this is by using Resco File Manager. click on the tmail.exe and hold until (right-click) menu appears and click "send to" then choose "Start Menu as Shortcut".
Once this is done you can access it via the start menu or use the button app to map it to a button or use with a today screen plugin (spb etc) As when you install the third party app it either replaces the original shortcut with its own or alters the original link to point to the third party app.
Hope this is of some help...

Thanks! worked great for me on WM 6.1 I didn't see the active sync option before the restart either.
just bought a tilt from craigslist that is flashed with duttys wm6.1 and has a bunch of applications on there, everything works great...
the guy I bought it from has all of his calendar crap on there as well as his contacts. how do I get rid of them without getting rid of all the applications on there?
what exactly would a hard reset do? is that the one where I press the reset+camera+power button simultaneously?
What you need is PocketOutlook Eraser. I use it successfully when doing a new sync. You can choose to delete all PIM data, or just contacts or just messages or just calendar etc etc.
Here you go...

THANKS MAC!!
Awesome tip. I had a similar problem to the OP. I got a new phone, and am giving my old one to a friend, I wanted to leave programs etc. for them, but not my contacts and calendar stuff, I was ripping my hair out trying to figure out how to do it.
Thanks again!
Hi all,
I moved from HD to HD7 a day ago and its going pretty well however,
am having problem finding my sim contact as it seems the only way to get my contacts from my old HD to the new one and now I can't find any SIM manager on HD7!
Any advice? please
you can upload your contacts to a gmail or hotmail acct through activesync on your hd, then sync that acct with your new phone.

You know I have never used this activesync you speak of but I will give it a go when I get home
One thing I realized is you can't do much customization on HD7, awaiting January "Big" (hopefully) update.
Thanks for the speedy response
the easiest way is:
1- go to settings.
2- go left to applications.
3- then people.
4- tap Import SIM Contacts.
: )
Wallah I checked this people tap a number of times but never noticed the import sim option.
Thanks Saud for your help. am OK now
Still needs a SIM manager though. What if I want to put contacts onto the card so I can use it with another phone?
Hi all,
SGS running 2.3.3.
I have setup my Contacts to display only the contacts in the phone memory and not the SIM contacts. That works fine when I go into Contacts.
However, if I go into messaging and select Contacts I get both the SIM and phone memory contacts. How can I get only the phone memory contacts via messaging?
TIA
Greg
No ideas anyone?
TIA

Hi everyone
I really appreciate so much if anyone could help me solve this problem. I recently have flashed the rom Nextgen v3.2 on my HTC HD7, after that I realized a little bug with this rom. It's about the People contacts, whenever I receive a phone call or any text message, my cellphone just displays the name that I have saved in the sim card, although I did untick the Sim Item in Filter contact list. Because the names which I saved in the sim card are so short and simple so I am too difficult to know who calling me or sending me message, I just want it to display the names in window live contacts. Anyone can help me fix this problem?
resync the contacts again...i had the same problem...i resync it and den no more problems

once you sync your SIM contacts into your phone they will be updated on your windows live account.....login into your windows live account on your desktop and you have to first delete the sim contacts from your live id...odor else everytime you sync your live account on your phone the sim contacts just pop back up....
So delete those on your account and sync your contacts

Thank for your help. Finally I fixed it already. I deleted all the contacts in Window live, after that I export contacts from the Simcard to Window Live, and resync from Window Live to my phone. Finally, the problem was done.
Thank you one more time for your help.
Happy to help
Click thanks if I was helpful
