I tried setting up my company's Exchange but soon realized it will not work (according to IT, that's another story).
My issue is I cannot delete the "Outlook - E-mail" account now. Normally in Messaging, when the account is highlighted / selected...the menu gives you "options" and "delete" but the "delete" is unshaded so I cannot select it.
Any ideas how I can remove this account?
Thank you in advance.
Is it configured to Exchange ActiveSync? Try going through the settings in ActiveSync>Options

THANK YOU very much! That's where it is to remove it.
ooh! thanks!
thanks for the advice!
thank you very much for the advice
THANK YOU so much for this fix. so to recap
On the windows mobile phone, go to the "activesync" program. Then go to "menu" then go to "options". A new window will appear that has a "microsoft exchange" tree and a "Windows PC" tree. Uncheck the "E-mail" box for microsoft exchange. This will remove the extra unused email icon on the touch flo 3d tab. Mine had nothing in it and it still wouldn't delete. But doing this did it. THANKS
If you use GMail, their server now functions as an Exchange server.
Settings are simple and it should auto-detect. Just use your e-mail address @ gmail.com and use "m.google.com" as the server name if asked.
It will push OTA your e-mails, Google calendar entries and contacts! Pretty freeking handy, if you ask me. Although, now I have a bunch of entries in my phone contacts which really don't need to be there.

OK, this is probably a silly question, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
I have set up a mail account to Gmail. In that account I'm forwarding some other accounts of mine, so it gets pretty crowded.
What I would like to do is delete messages from my phone but NOT from Gmail.
Outlook Mobile offers two choices, as far as I can see: when deleting messages either
Move them to server trash, or
Delete them off the server.
Neither of those suits me. I only want to delete them from the bloody phone.
A further restriction is that I like to use my mail from TF3D, and therefore would rather not having to install another mail client unless TF3D can somehow be coerced into working with it.
Oh, and in case you wonder - I don't sync my mail with the desktop Outlook. I'm using Gmail more and more...
Thank you all for your help.
have you tried both options, and seen what the effect on the server inbox is?
ive thought of this before, and it annoyed me greatly, but i cant remember the solution. plus, we all know how wm doesnt word things correctly.
rory
err... sorry.. duplicate post.. don't know why
Tap on mail (touch flo)
Inbox
Menu-Tools-options
Tap on Gmail
(setting should open up now)
Hit 'Edit Account Setup'
Click on next next next next next
(hide key board on Automatic Send/Receive screen)
Hit 'Advanced Settings'
When deleting messages: (drop down menu)
You can set it there to not delete the messages from the server
Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer. However, I only have the two options described in my first post. Can you see a third option there?
err.. oops. Just checked again
I could have sworn it was there!
Sorry mate. guess that was on the P1 or something.. not sure.
This might not be a feasible solution, but ... just a thought..
You could set it to keep the messages only for the last 4 or 5 days..
that way, they won't be on your phone, but will be on your server.
A POSSIBLE workaround.. definitely not a solution
Here is what I configured to use the diamond without loss of messages during their removal :
I created a special e-mail address to use with my mobile phone, like [email protected].
And I set up a redirect additional for all my messages to it.
Now, I can delete all my messages without erasing the ones on my main account.
Try to go to "tools" - "option". Click the account you need to edit. Click "send/receive schedule" - "advance settings" - "when deleting messages" dropdown menu.....

Same thing. Just the two options.
Delete from Server.. or Move to Server Trash
OK, I think I've got it. It all boils down to the fact that the default Gmail setup is IMAP. If you change that to POP3 (using the instructions from Gmail) you will be able to delete your mails on the phone only.
It would be nice if someone could confirm this. It certainly seems to be working for me.
EDIT: WORKS! I get "Keep them on server" now.
The problem is related to the gmail server own rules. I have just made a test account and there is no "keep on server" option on the WM mail client. On my other account (my own domain/server) there is no problem.
You could use another mail provider (hotmail, live) for example.

Turns out it actually is IMAP vs POP3. While IMAP is generally better, when you do something locally (on the phone) it is as if it was done on the server (a disadvantage in this case).
The key is to fool Diamond into not recognizing Gmail, which means giving the address as [email protected][B]gm[/B].com, then put all the POP3 settings.
On the other hand, I've noticed it will only download the unread messages...
Here's a tip for all who wants to hide the OUTLOOK account from the email tab in TF3D who have 4 email accounts like me
(thanks to Pietje_1985 for the hint)
Make a backup of all of your emails (eg use PIMBackup) to get them back if it's necessary
Connect your device to PC via ActiveSync
Open ActiveSync on your PC
Tools -> Options -> uncheck Email
confirm the dialogue box
Worked for me

Good question. And additionally the "System" folder for Blackberry Connect users...

I don't use outlook email account, so does anyone know, how to hide it from the email tab? It's useless for me.

At least..one thing I know is try to uncheck the email option @ ActiveSync on your pc....I think it is telling you then it will remove all email stored on your device via Outlook....not HOTMAIL!
I'm figuring out if there's another solution....I thought there was....I'll let you know, as soon as I found it

Thanks, but does that delete my other accounts too, or just Outlook eMail?

No I think it should only remove your OUTLOOK settings and no hotmail...
Try this as well....PPC PIM backup:
http://www.dotfred.net/
you can also make a backup first with this app and afterwards try to delete the account...if failed, you can always revert back....
Good luck

Well okay, but there's no need for me to delete Outlook email complety, I just want to remove it from the email tab of TF3D.
Maybe, there's an entry in one of the manila files, that can be hidden or deleted...

Aha...ok....I can't help you with the possible manila file...because I don't know if it excist....maybe you can ask NISSE about that...and can't you remove the mail settings at your message settings where you can also view your sms/mms etc??

No, not possible with Outlook. Already tried that...
Use TF3D config (search for it in the forums) and in the first option it will say tabs on the bottom and you will be able to hide or add, even rearrange your tabs for diamond.

LOL, I don't wanna hide the the whole eMail tab, I just want to hide OUTLOOK inside the tab. Please read carefully before posting
Just download tf3d config (search for it in the forums). Once you open up the first page will be tabs, there you check or uncheck whatever you want to see for the tf3d.

ps for any1 having trouble getting email but internet and weather works change network connection to Work from The Internet
in Advanced Server Settings
Got lucky and didn't even bother configuring email when I first connected to ActiveSync and so I never saw that email account in the TF3D tab.
However, I would like to remove the Sprint Picture Mail tab and account from the Mail TF3D tab as I don't use it and it pushes one of my other email accounts off the screen so I can't see the unread count. Any ideas?

Ye, I second that, anyone?
nope
Well I can't get rid of outlook mail on my Diamond. I'll keep trying
There is another way without connecting the phone to the pc, just go to activesync then press menu then options then untick E-mail, same way of doing it just saves looking for the all important cable!
hi there!! i'm using the diamond to get my emails from gmail... but when i read them, and then i delete the emails, in gmail those emails are also deleted from incoming folder, and go to the folder: all emails...
is there anyway so i can receive the gmails emails, read them, and if i want to delete it in my diamond, the emails could stay at the same time in the incoming emails in the gmail (acessed by net in the pc)?
is there a way? everybody understand my questions? i don't know if i could explain very well...

I use flexmail and it does what you want, even push and in combination with Momail you can get the email from all your acounts in 1 box anything you delete on your phone stays in your inbox.
Willem
If I am not mistaken this is a setting you can change in your gmail inbox settings.
where??? can you tell me how to do it please??

Dude come on man, this is not even Diamond stuff.
But try this:
Go to your gmail inbox and hit settings.
Then go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP and play with those settings.

Since you asked so "nicely" try this:
On Messaging options press gmail then press Send/receive schedule.
on the lower part of the screen press advanced config and there you go.
whenever i delete an email from my hotmail account on my phone, which is synced, it never gets permanently deleted....
how can i do this so that it will delete it off the hotmail server too?
ah.. if you have over 100 posts and youve been a member sense 2008 why in the world would you post this in a development section.

MODS PLEASE MOVE TO HERO CDMA Q N A SECTION....
as for an answer.....i'd check the trash can after you delete it.....some times on gmail i can delete it from my inbox and it'll be in the trash but yet it still shows so i have to delete it from my inbox then go to the trash and delete it permanently
i think that's how almost all emails work. that is a good thing because if you deleted some message you received on accident that was important then you can easily retrieve it from the trash can before you "dump the trash"
sorry guys, forgot i was in that thread.... so then theres no setting as to which i can just make them permanently delete? i get alot of trash i dont need

Try, Settings, Incoming Server Settings, and then select "Delete email from Server" at the bottom of the settings.

What rom and I'll flash it and post exact directions on how to do so just for you bud
FWIW hotmail or live accounts have been and probably always will be buggy on phones. Sometimes they don't sync right, they almost never delete properly, etc. You could check from a computer in your hotmail to see if there's any settings for your account that may allow this/make it more functional, but, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
