Contacts "dissapearing" from "Add Recipent" - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi
I've done some searching on the forum but I haven't found anything about this (possibly lousy search strings).
I have this issue where the contacts are all there if I access them from the today-screen, but in the messaging application when I try to add recipent no contacts are visible and if I search it just searches forever and nothing happening. If I type in a number and choose "check names" it will find the correct name and number from the contacts database.
This issue did pop up after a while, both with the stock HTC ROM and Duttys 7 that I'm currently running. I haven't really installed many applications besides of what was in the ROM but KaiserTweak, SKTools, TomTom, Resco Explorer/Utility pack, IM+, Google Maps and Mobipocket and acbPowerMeter.
I have been playing abit with registry settings, but nothing that I can imagine would affect the contacts database in any way. I did run some of the cleanup-stuff in SKTools yesterday, removing some broken .lnks, emptying some of the cache/temp folders and optimizing the registry size.
Is this in any way a known issue and is there any solution? I'm running out of time before I have to go for christmas vacation, havent really got time to do a hard reset and set the device up again, especially since I'd be installing the same applications again I fear the issue would reoccur. I'm greatfull for any input on this.
/Mac

I've the same problem. My contacts are there if I access them through the Contacts application or the alias :CONTACTS. But if I try to add a contact in the SMS application no contacts are available when I click "to".
Hope someone has an idea how to fix it...

I solved with a hard-reset and new installation from start, because after an attempt of restoring a Sprite-Backup I still had the problem.

unable to save new contacts

hello all. i've searched the forum for the answer to this, but i haven't been able to come up with anything.
i am running PDAVIET .15 on a Tmo Wing with touchflo. after installing the pocketCM contact manager, i noticed that i couldn't save new outlook contacts in the phone. syncing with my desktop outlook and moving contacts that way still worked, but actually trying to create a new contact didn't work.
eventually i decided to uninstall the pocketCM program and revert back to default WM6 contact manager. i still seem to have the same problem. after filling out all the requisite info for the contact, i push ok at the top right and it simply exits the contact manager and returns to the Today screen. syncing still works.
on another note, i've noticed similar symptoms in other areas of the phone. somtimes when i create a new note and click on ok to save it, it exits Notes completely...without saving.
anybody have similar problems? any ideas?

Sync problems?

Let me start off by saying, I had a problem but found a solution that might help you all.
My Tilt dumped all my outlook info, contacts, appointments, etc. "Windows Mobile Device Center" no longer showed the options to sync any outlook info.
I almost paniced, was about to "Hard Reset" (I'm used to this cause I try almost every app and ROM on this forum ), but then I said "wait you idiot", cause thats what I call myself, "lets think of something else first, loading all those cabs is a pain!".
So I ended up removing the "Relationship" in WMDC, recreated it, and resynced, problem fixed.
Hope this helps if anyone runs into the same problem.

Email not showing in TF3D anymore

Hi all,
For some reason, my TF3D-screen does not show my Outlook emails (the envelopes) anymore, although my emails are still in sync (when I look with outlook, everything's fine).
Instead the screen says: "geen accounts" (Dutch for "No accounts").
Even stranger: TF3D shows when new emails have arrived (the green number in the envelope on the bottom of the screen), so it knows of the existence of my outlook email.
I already tried adding an extra account (gmail), switch to that account and back, as well as some soft resets, but so far nothing works.
Anyone any idea?
Thanks,
Dagmar
i think one of your manila (TF3D) files is corrupted or demaged.

..Hi all,
have the same problem after using Sprite Backup Tool. Any Ideas?
Does Sprite Backup cause the problem?
Hi all,
I am experiencing exactly the same problem and right - it started immediately after installing Sprite Backup. Uninstalling Sprite did not solve the problem, though, nor did re-installing Manila. Any ideas other that a hard reset would really be appreciated...
I have the same problem and it was also sprite looks like this app does not backup but rather destroys your phone.... what a mess it also messed up the other menus aswell,
any one know how to get everything back to normal?
RM
i have the same problem too , for some reason my mail wont show on TFL3D, and wont even sync no more even when im connected to wifi or 3G data
Does someone know the registry key where HTC stores the information about the mail accounts?
I used the registry editor, but the "find"- function does not seem to work yet.. :-(
thanks

same problem here any idea?
This keeps happening once i install sprite, does anyone have a fix for this or know how to get the email to display back in Touchflo? I do not want to reset the phone it takes too long to restore, and without a backup makes it even harder,
please advise...

Same for me. I have 2 accounts in Messaging: Outlook (Exchange Server) and Gmail. Both accounts sync fine in Messaging app, but now only Gmail shows in TF3D. Tried to remove and recreate the Outlook account, but it didn't help.
I also have Sprite Backup, but I did not have to restore anything before the problem started.
i noticed when using PIM backup, that by default it removes what you backup!
can be changed in options
may be the problem? (havent used Sprite Backup)
Hi Guys,
I managed to get the Outlook Envelope back after flashing (same version) my Diamond. It was a headache trying to figure out the source of the disappearance.
Cheers...
Me again - another annoying thing is that there is also no more possibility to get a working ActiveSync-Connection via Bluetooth if you delete the pairing information (ActiveSync Partnership). The Option to add a Com Port to the Device is gone.
Now i will hard-reset my diamond and never use that creepy little s**t of Sprite Backup Software again.
Is there a way to fix this without a hard reset???
I am having this same problem. I use wireless sync. I get the notifier at the bottom of the screen with the number of new messages, but they do not show up in the envelope in Touch Flo...if I go to menu accounts, the messages are there.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
same problem on TP...
anyone find a solution to this?
I am still looking for a solution, too.
Bump. Im in the same boat. Anyone have any ideas?
This happened to me before and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I later realized it was due to Sprite Backup. The backup somehow did not complete or restart properly. Unfortunately, I really can't remember what I did. I think I may have just restarted Sprite Backup and there was some kind of error stating what happened, which it performed a soft reset on the device itself. After the soft reset, everything was fine.
I am using a Treo 800w.

Email icons standind on the touch flo 3d

Hello, I ask you for help!
I have deleted some email accounts from my htc touch diamond, and I left only my lead account. The problem is that in the email window of the touchflo 3d i have left all the envelope icons of the deleted emails account but i can't delete it....so i have a lot of unused icons.....how can i delete it??
Please help me!
Thank you very much
Please help
Someone could help me please?
be kind....
I need help about this question
Had the same problem, could get a fix, did a hard reset.
no haRD
I can't loose all my data again.....before make an hard reset i wait for more suggestions
I have the same problem, I installed Windows live, subsequently removed it, but the icon is still there.. bit weird.
Same problem here.
Also I've noticed that I can see my old emails (suposedly deleted from outlook) on the preview of tf3d, although on Outlook I can't see (obviously) the deleted accounts and it's messages.
My guess is that when you delete an account, the messages of that account aren't deleted and touchflo not knowing that you have removed that account keeps displaying those messages. Maybe a possible solution is to locate the folder were messages from deleted accounts are kept and really delete them.
solution?
I am getting the same problem. Any possibility of resolving this issue, without a hard reset?
After doing a hard reset for a different problem I put my backed up info back on (using the one created by htc) and since that time I've had this same problem. Did anyone figure this out yet? I really need to get rid of my gmail account to set it up correctly with imap instead of pop but I can't remove it because of this problem. Any help/links provided will be appreciated.

this is what i used to take care of the ghost accounts: SKTools
Found a FIX!!!
Here is what I used after doing quite a bit of Forum digging. This utility will repair the "Ghost" email accounts showing up in your TF3D, and make them re-appear in your list of accounts (Start/Messaging/Messaging). It has made me a happy camper...
Just copy the EXE to your device and run it. More information about this can be obtained here: http://www.etenblog.com/2008/02/14/recover-lost-email-accounts/
The program is pretty self-explanatory, so you shouldn't have any trouble recovering your ghosted accounts.

I had the same problem if your talking about the outlook account, and when you click and hold on the account it has a delete option but not clickable,... if this is what your talking about you must reset your active sync settings for your user, delete all of them, then re set it up as new account, but do not include sync for mail, that removed all the email accounts on my phone except hotmail, which i wanted to keep, hope this helps

[solved] How to remove orphan mail accounts in TF3D/WM?

I made a full backup with Sprite before I send my device in for repair. Now its back, at least a Diamond, because they switched the device and I restored my backup. But this crappy Sprite didn´t saved all files and so some of my settings and so on are missing. My email accounts too, by in TF3D there are still my 2 set up accounts, if I choose them nothing happens and if I go to admininstrate them it goes to the built in windows mobile configuration and there are no email accounts!
So does anyone has an idea how to get rid of the orphan accounts in Manila?
edit: if I try to create an account with the same name as the old ones he says that it already exists but the list is empty, so maybe it´s not a manila problem but a WM one?! Does anyone know where windows stores that information?
Found a little app thats rapairs lost accounts, worked well!

Wow, I would put it in some sticky thread, and may be somebody knows how to get rid of application list when no application installed, this list appeared when I recover databases by sprite backup
