Hi, I would like to know how can I delete an email account?
In messenging, go Menu > Tools > Options, bring out the keyboard, select the mail account you want to delete with the down arrow key, tap and hold the mail account, then Delete.
Thanks, it works just fine...
And what do I do when the delete option is grayed out?

I too had a similar problem where in i had restored the email accounts and emails from my previous PIM backup but those accounts were not connecting anymore. so i had to create another email account and name it as Gmail1 (as Gmail already exists that came from the backup file) and was not able to delete the old email accounts. This little cool app really helped me and saved a hard reset.
A marvelous tool ! A must have !
Fabulous lil tool. I spent over an hour trying to delete a gmail account. This lil baby took it out in 10 seconds.
Great tool. Took care of my Hotmail account.
yes, but it broke WLMLauncher.exe down, and I can't set up a new mail account :-(
AWESOME tool, BIG KUDOS to the person that wrote it....Thank you!!
Worked perfect.
Greaaaat tooooool

hi everyone, my question is how do I set-up a hotmail account,when I configure a mail account opens up IE or Opera and from there a access the mail account. With WM5 didn´t do that, I could access the mail account with in the phone without opening the browser.
When I press the mail funtion it doesn´t show the account I already set-up,in this case, hotmail, it shows it empty(no accounts)
any help with this?
thanks
i had problem with this also. Apparently you can only set up one hotmail account on your phone. If let say you deleted it by accident and try to re-add it will not work, instead it will go through the Windows Live website like you stated.
Only solution to fix this is a hard-reset

oo then maybe the owner did set an account before but removed it. If that is the case you will not be able to add a new hotmail account.
My suggestion to you is just do a hardreset, unless there are some things the old owner put in there you might want. If that is the case just plug the USB cable into your computer and copy and paste whatever you want from the phone to your comp as backup
I haven,t done the hard reset because there is no signs of anything being in the memory. When I go to mail function and add new account, I entered the hotmail account and password and then next and shows settings found for hotmail.com,then press next again and goes straight to the browser. I go back to the mail function and again is empty, no account added
Either hard reset or uninstall then reinstall windows live on your phone.

I can do that,but it will still opening mails trough the browser and not as a separate program like it did in WM5?
If you uninstall windows live and reinstall it, then it shouldnt open your mail in an internet browser anymore. Just make sure you have only one hotmail account. The first one will open in the application and if you add others, you will be redirected to the hotmail website.
I just did a hardreset because of touch screen problem. Then I saw this thread, and got my hotmail account working too!
I got the phone from BELL, brand new, but couldn't set up my hotmail accout. It was the same problem: directly go the browser!
Now I love my Diamond even better. It was my gameboy, now it is in business!
Hii.
It´s possible have 2 hotmail account´s on messages menu???
I can´t add 2 or more account´s.
Tankh´s.
i'm having some problems with the hotmail account, somethimes doesnt want to connect through wifi and opens a 3g connection instead..
hotmail fix...
the easiest way I've found is to simply use the "get xpress mail" function... may or may not work for all, but it is at least a 50-50 shot!

What's "get express mail" function?
Give me more details please.

Microsoft's hotmail/live/msn support pop3 now.
U can simply use the outlook by setup a new count such as [email protected], and pop3 server as pop3.live.com(maybe, I don't rember), then change the mail address back to [email protected].
The second way is using windows live with messenger.
I access two hotmail accounts, just set as normal but it asks the first time for the address put [email protected], then it lets you setup pop3 and smtp else it detects the address as live and sends you to the browser. edit the address after and all should be ok. ps details here for pop3

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.

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.

That is exactly why I use gmail over yahoo and hotmail. But still we're here to help you as best as possible with your mail client buddy
sorry i hadednt made the time to post guys... i found the answer to my solution, its in settings under the incoming mail options and im running cm7.0
I have a strange email issue on my WP8. I use Yaho Mail if that matters; the problem is that when a new email comes in it deletes the one before so I always only have one email in inbox..
Is it deleting also from the server side? Did you try to delete whole account and setup again?

Yeah, I've actually deleted it a few times now. I don't know what is up with Windows Phone where it won't remember my account password even though it is entered correctly; after a while it will say your attention is required and I have to delete it and add it back so it can work. I use to have this issue with Windows Phone 7 and thought that it would be addressed in 8. I'll have to check on the server side.
Okay I found out the issue but I don't get it. When I go to Yaho mail, all my email is in the Trash I moved everything back to the inbox and it shows up on the phone. However when I open my Outlook it sends all of my Yahoo mail to the trash but only online
Ok, I cant really test because Im not using that email. Do you have some settings on your server side that could affect this, also does your service provider offer alternative servers for downloading email?
You probably have the account setup as IMAP, you could use POP and set the settings so it does not delete emails after downloading etc?

Gmail's new Inbox app is pretty awesome, but it's still invite-only. If you have a friend that's using inbox, you can get access on your own device with their help—even if they don't have any invites to give out.
y of WonderHowTo, is simple:
1)Download Inbox on your phone through its app store, either Android or iOS. You won't be able to sign in with your account, since you don't have access, but download it anyway.
2)Have your friend log into their Google Account to your phone. For Android, you'll want to do this under Settings > Accounts. On iOS devices, log in through another Google app, like Gmail or Chrome.
3)Open Inbox and, when prompted, choose their account to sign in.
4)Go to Inbox's settings and select "Manage Accounts". Flip the switch for your account to "on". You should now have access to Inbox on your account.
5)Remove your friend's account from your phone. Again, on Android, do this through Settings > Accounts. On iOS, head back to the "Manage Accounts" screen in a Google app, tap "Edit", and delete your friend's account.
After performing this process, your friend's account will no longer be connected to your phone, but you'll still have access to Inbox. According to WonderHowTo, this only works for one degree of separation. That is, if you never officially got an invite to Inbox, you can't repeat this process with other people—only the original invitee can.
Enjoy.. working,just tried it.

You're a bit vague here. Friends account? Do they have to have an invite?

ohhh.. Fixed it.
I don't think this works now
at step 4:
4)Go to Inbox's settings and select "Manage Accounts". Flip the switch for your account to "on". You should now have access to Inbox on your account.
When signing in with my alternate account, it just says I don't have an invite and there is no settings option.
Hi any one have Inbox invite, plz

This is brilliant. Does it still work? I'm on Inbox, but I'd love to seed other accounts with it so I can get more invites to hand out to people whenever Google does another batch.
Del
For me don' t work
Wouldn't it just be easier to find the flag google toggles when an invitee has been logged in? I'm sure it can't really be that hard.
already got 9 access to my friends email and all of them are failing
is this trick work?
i supposed we still need someones working Inbox account to get this trick working
obviously this trick not work for me
What's so special about this that you need an invite to use it.
So dumb

Hello people,
I have multiple google email accounts signed in from my device. 1 of them is personal (which is also the account I signed in to my android phone) and rest of them are work email accounts (which are shared among my colleagues). Now, all of them are signed in my phone. I have recently discovered that find my phone service can be used from any of those accounts. Which in my case is absolutely unwanted because that means my colleagues can search my location anytime they want. I want findmyphone service to accessible from only one account that i chose from. I would choose my personal account to have access to findmyphone service as this would protect my privacy. Kindly assist on how to do it.
Thanks in advance
Guys this is a serious issue, and im sure there will be a lot of people leaking there location unknowingly to their colleagues or people they share common email accounts with! Kindly come up to resolve this.
If your work google accounts can access your find phone features then you have it set up wrong. Go to Setting/Accounts. You do not want your work accounts logged in there as they are logged into your phone. Delete them from Accounts. Instead you should be setting up the work accounts through your Gmail or Email apps as IMAP or POP accounts depending on which you prefer.

But i did not add those by going into setting/accounts. I added my work from gmail or google drive apps only. They automatically start showing into settings/accounts!

As i already told you. I didnt add my work account from setting/accounts, instead i added it straight from gmail app.
But as soon as i add any google account from any respective app, (gmail or google drive) the same account starts showing up in settings/accounts!
Please let me know if im not clear!
Yeah I got that. As I suggested, log out of those accounts & set them up as either IMAP or POP email accounts. You can do this either through accounts or the email app. Is that not clear?
Sensing a bit of attitude from you so good luck to you. Hopefully someone else will be happy to help you.

No worries.
No idea on the google drive issue. I've never used it so not sure.
