How to delete a mail account - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I delete a mail account? After a hard reset I've got a Outlook account. I've already made mine Hotmail account working with my device.
Now I want to get rid of the Outlook account. If I tried to delete it boht accounts are watermarked. So I can't delete any e-mail account.
Wich step(s) I'm not seeing?
Thanks,
Rick

I don't think you can delete Outlook, but you can try this.

I've solved it by unchecking e-mail by sync ith Active Sync 4.5

Missing an email account

Somehow I screwed up the setup of my tilt, and the tilt thought it was syncing with 2 different computers with the same name, but I only sync with my laptop. I fixed that, and the tilt thinks it syncs with only one computer.
I have two email accounts: both are active, but are pretty much interchangeable. Both accounts put emails into the same Outlook inbox. Before I fixed the problem mentioned above, I had three email folders or accounts on my tilt. One got email from my first account, one got email from my second account, and one was what I had on my laptop. When I would sync up, the emails in the first and second account would disappear and be moved to the account called "Outlook." That was fine with me. I file all my emails on the laptop, so no problems. The only glitch was I couldn't reply from emails filed in the Outlook box, but I fixed that. But now the emails in my first account aren't moving over, so that inbox on the tilt is filling up, and the emails are duplicated in my Outlook inbox on the tilt. I can't figure out how to get my first account to sync up. Can anyone help me? Do I need to create a 'second' computer again?
Thanks again for all the help here.

Ummm try this I don't know if it will help. But open up your Outlook Inbox
Hit Menu
Tools
Manage Folders
There should be boxes in there that may not be checked. Check them and see if that helps your problem.
I don't seem to have the Manage Folders option.

Restoring email data from Sprite

I seem to have a problem when restoring email information into the diamond using sprite backup.
This has happened a few times, not sure if its because I'm changing between ROMs.
Anyway, what is happening is that everytime I restore, both my email accounts show in TF3D, but when I try to open the inbox it won't load through WM.
When I go into accounts it does not show the email account also (ISP email account).
The two email accounts I have is hotmail and with my ISP, hotmail one works fine, but the ISP does not.
Any ideas on how to delete the accounts from TF3D??
I have the exact same problem! Everything is still there, every single mail, but the account for my gmail is gone! Can anybody help?
Same problem
Same here. I used Sprite Backup to backup the data on my old TyTN then tried to restore it on the Raphael. On the Mail tab of the TouchFlow the email account is listed (it appears as "PDA - Email" - just as it was named on the TyTN) - but I can not open any message and I can not delete the account either - because it is not listed under "accounts".
SMS messages were restored ok - but the MMS and mail accounts all have the above problem. Any ideas?

Removing email account from the mail tab?

I uninstalled sprint picture mail (wasn't cooked into my rom) but the account still exists in the email tab of T3D. I couldn't find where tflo stores these settings. Any ideas?
Is this email account set to sync in ActiveSync (mobile device manager)? If it is, remove the check mark next to it on your computer, and re-sync. I don't know anything about sprint picture mail, but that's the solution to this problem with regular exchange/pop3 email accounts.

Thanks for the reply , but I do not have outlook installed so I never active sync. I just noticed I posted in the wrong forum. Sorry
I too have the same problem. not just tf3d either it does it on my kaiser using manilla 2d too. If I use sprite backup and than restore I have 2 gmail accounts and 2 yahoo accounts it even prompts me when im setting up my account that the "account name has already been taken" so it must be saving this information somewhere I looked through the registry to no avail maybe herg or someone knows the answer.
Sktools removed it ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412035

Backup HD7 contacts to HOTMAIL

hi i have a problem here
I use to save new contacts in the HD7, assuming it will update the HOTMAIL contacts database when i sync the account
but now I look that it doesnt sync the contacs to my HOTMAIL account and also it erase the contacts (from HD7) that i dont have in the HOTMAIL account
how do i can solve this?
i mean, i dont want to be updating HOTMAIL contact list one by one....
WP7 is starting tu upset me
Is hotmail the only email account you have it set up for? Exchange, Gmail, anything like that?
Either way, go to Setting --> Email and Accounts -->Windows Live and see what is set up to sync.
I have 2 hotmail accounts one for the contacts that i dont use for email
and one for the email...
but in no one update the contacts...
in the "primary" (Contacts) one... it only have the option to sync email

When you Edit a contact, it should give you an option to choose which account the contact you want to edit is from, provided that you have multiple contacts linked up and sync'd to multiple accounts.
If you only have 1 account that sync contacts, your phone should automatically be editing that contact on that 1 account, and it should update to the server almost immediately.
If you have no accounts that are syncing contacts (including no initial Windows Live ID tied to the phone), then your contacts will save to your device.
At least thats how it is supposed to be working.
I've never had any issues syncing to my Hotmail Contacts account. It has worked flawlessly since day 1.
I've never had a any luck syncing contacts to my hotmail account. I even lost 75% of them cos i got frustrated and decided to flash my phone regardless.
My friend uses hotmail to sync his contacts and he was saying yesterday something about him having to log on to his hotmail account on a desktop pc before his contacts would sync. I'll try and find out more about what he meant cos it didn't make much sense to me.
I use my gmail account to sync contacts now and I must admit it's been flawless. ever contact I create on my phone gets synced to my gmail account. Who'd have thought that would work better than MS's own hotmail?

[Q] Disable syncing contacts from google acct

Hi,
Previously I was using a Dell Streak and I was able to disable contact syncing with my Google accounts.
Actually I have 2 google accounts and I wanna sync only contacts with one of them.
On Galaxy Note , I couldn't find the setting to disable contact syncing with one account.
How can I do that ?
thx.
Hi,

Any idea on how to delete contacts from one Google account on the phone ?

Go to contacts--Options--More--Accounts
Select the account you dont want your contacts to be merged from. Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Hope that helped.
Cheers
thanks. that option disables further sync of contacts from that account but it didn't delete the contacts coming from that account.
How can I delete existing contacts of that account ?
Also, I need the similar for calendar. Is there similar option ?

All'ite. Why don't you do this?
At this step you have disabled syncing your contacts to an account;lets call that account GAcc2. Lets call the account that you would like the contacts to be synced/Displayed from as GAcc1
Now you want to delete the contacts that have been synced from GAcc2.
So Go to Contacts--More--Display Options--Accounts and select contacts to be displayed only from GAcc2(i.e. uncheck the contact boxes for GAcc1). After this step the contacts that are displayed are only from GAcc2(the one you don't want). Simply select all the contacts and delete them. So this means we deleted "ONLY" GAcc2 contacts.
After this step again go to "Display Options" and under accounts select GAcc1.
and voila you will have only GAcc1 contacts left.
Do the same with calendar.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
thank you. that's a good idea.
But when I delete from my Note, is there a risk of deleting them from Google acct GAcc2 ?
Also, some contacts are coming from both Google accounts. When I delete them, will I lose them from both accounts ?
And, how can I do that for calendar ? I can't find the correct app...
thx
Keep Auto Sync off, that will niether sync mail/contact/calender, when you need to sync it manually, just press on desire item n it will sync for that time only.
Further Now you can get Gmail with setup of Email application separately.

No that would be not an issue. Remember at that step you would have switched syncing to GAcc2 as "off". Just make sure you don't click "Merge with google".
If you are really scared and want to be backup proof i would suggest this;
I'm sure you would be having windows installed with Microsoft office. Microsoft office would have an app called microsoft exchange. Create a dummy account in exchange with a local Dat. Then go to google and search for tools to copy google contacts to exchange. There are plenty. Once you are done with that you would have a backup of your contacts. Similarly there are plenty of tools to do the reverse as well i.e. Microsoft Exchange -->Google server; this way you can restore it too.
Regarding the calendar its the same thing bro.
Browse to Settings-->Account and Sync--> select the account that you dont want calendar to be synced from-->Uncheck 'Sync Calendar'
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
THis post intended for people who use Exchange
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
To prevent your Google Accounts showing up in an Exchange Server minded device, uncheck autosync.
Create your Exchange account first, sync
Uncheck autosync
disable Wifi (your device must have slow connection)
Then add your google account.
Press Sync, but be DAMN fast to go to the account settings and quickly
uncheck the Contact,Calendar.
This way, you can have a fully Exchange server minded device, without
any junk from Google Downloaded, with Market access.
