I know this is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the email account on the Tilt. I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't figure it out.
Here's the deal. I originally set up my email on my Tilt to connect to exchange server with one email address. Then my company email address changed. I now have two Outlook email addresses. The original outlook email address (the one I set up on my phone) now is no longer my main email. I want to change my phone to use the new email address.
When I go to menu -> tools -> options if I try to press and hold on "* Outlook E-mail" the "delete" option that comes up is grayed out. If I tap the "*Outlook E-mail" and try to edit the server settings I get to the screen with the user name, password, and domain. The problem is that the user name and domain are grayed out and I can't change them.
It seems that I'm locked into the account I originally set up. What's the deal? How do I change this?
I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me how to fix this. Thanks!
I would try and add a new exchange server account and see if this prompts you to edit or delete the existing exchange account

It won't let me. When I go to add a new email account the only options it gives me are for a POP3 or Imap account.
I'm thinking I might just have to reinstall the whole ROM or something, but I'm trying to avoid having to do that.
I think you can try the following.
open Activesync on the phone-->Menu-->options then delete microsoft exchange...
I recently flashed my kaiser with the latest duty rom.After that i try to setup a imap gmail account.
The problem is that i can recieve mail, but when i try to send it gives the error :the message(s) could not be sent.Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct.Then try sending again
I checked / dubbel checked the imap settings from gmail, but nothing seems to work.
(if i try to setup pop3/smtp everything works fine)
Is there anybody who can help me ?
I think it comes because WM6 wants to automatic set some settings.
Try the following:
Create a new imap account.
By the email adressfield put something like. [email protected]
Fill in all the other fields but remember to select imap4
When finished go back and edit the account with the right settings.
I had to do this with my own phone to get it working
have you enabled imap within your gmail settings at mail.google.com?
have you set the SSL settings to yes?
Tom , yes i enabled imap on the gmail setting, and yes i checked the ssl setting ( i cant change anything, only set the V )
@AAthesource : i tried this already, this is the only way to setup gmail with imap, otherwise the setting are automaticly set tot pop3 etc

I've had this problem with WM6.0 (Dutty's RTM4). The issue seems to be the ssl certificate than GMail sees fit to change every now and again. The SMTP info doesn't seem to change in the registry. Even with account deletion and re-add with the same name doesn't seem to fix this. I usually have to delete the account and then add with a different name.
Does anyone know where the fsck Pocket Outlook et al store the account information and especially cache certificates and passwords?
James
this would be nice if there's a solution !Hope to see it soon
I think you might be using the wrong information. The server isnt mail.google.com, its imap.google.com .
WM6.1 will automatically fill in settings, so you have to start off by making the address [email protected], then after you are done you can go back and correct that address. Here are the details from google's site. (remember to put the wrong address the first time around)
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
2. Open the Start menu and select Programs > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
3. Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') in the E-mail Address field.
4. Uncheck the box to get settings automatically from the Internet and select Next.
5. Select Internet e-mail as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select Next.
8. Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
9. Select IMAP4 as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select Next.
10. Enter your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') and password.
11. Select Next.
12. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
13. Make sure that the Outgoing server requires authentication box is checked.
14. Select the Advanced Server Settings link.
15. Make sure that the Require SSL box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
16. Select The Internet as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
17. Select Done and then Next.
18. Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
19. For more download options, select the Review all download settings link.
20. Select Finish.

My notes on these steps:
1. Ignore
3. Use a made up non @gmail.com adress the first time.
4. There is no check box in 6.1
12. I used imap.gmail.com for my outbound and it works great.
21. Menu > Tools > Options > Gmail Account > Fix Address to correct @gmail.com
@Pops_G it works for me now thanx !
i replaced smtp.gmail.com with imap.gmail.com and it works
is this a long term fix?
@ the cosmic gate & pops_G, is changing from smtp to imap.gmail really a long term fix?
I've found that erasing and re-creating the account will work until they change certificates again.
Going into my options and just switching outgoing to imap.gmail.com didn't fix it for me.
I had to erase my account from the phone and enter it again to work, using imap.gmail as the outgoing. However, I'm not convinced this fixes anything since re-doing it with smtp.gmail also would work until they change the security again.
So, will that not happen if using imap.gmail for outgoing?
Or does any of this really make any difference at all?
@Dishe, I really doen't know if this is a long time fix.But at this moment everything works fine for 1 month.
The only problem is that sometimes its not possible to send a mail.
It's really strange, but for example if you wanna send 4 mails, just 1 e-mail (adress) gives problems
I had it working fine in this 1999 rom but didnt seem to work with the hybrid. I also dont like how imap deletes the mail from the server when u del it off the phone. I just set it back to use pop. Only problem I saw with pop before was everything sent ends up in your inbox.

That's silly. You can set it to move trash to server trash instead of delete off server. Then, the message still exists on the server in "trash" until you empty it.
Also, at least with gmail, "delete" only removes it from the inbox. It still exists on the gmail server, but its not in any folders, they just sort of float around until you move them into the trash folder or assign them to another folder.
You can see this by viewing "All Mail" and filtering out the inbox, etc, to just show you messages without any category.
The only real reason to use POP these days is if your mail server does not support Imap. Imap is superior in every way...
It's not silly I don't want want my phone moving or deleting anything. I just want to view new emails. That's what gmail is about. Archiving mail and not having to delete anything. If it moved it to the archive I would be fine with it. I also don't my message in limbo with the "deleted" status.
it works for me for 3 weeks now, but sometimes there's a problem when i try to reply.
If i made a reply to some adressses, it says that its nog possible to send (something with network coverage).I know for sure that the mail adres is 100% okay .
Someone with the same problem ?Or maybe a solution?
is there nobody with the same problem ?Or somebody who can help me ?
nope, works fine for me. Sounds like you have a totally different problem. Ask google support or perhaps someone on their forums.

how come gmail imap in 6.1 does not auto sync like it did in wm6? i have options like manual and different intervals as an option.
Hey all,
I've always prefered IMAP over POP3, and out of habit just perfer to set things up this way when given the option. I've been on 2 WM6.1 roms and have now found that I can't setup Gmail for IMAP on them. It seems that with WM6.1, when you put in your email address as @gmail.com that WM6.1 goes into autodetect mode automatically and you can't choose not to do this to override the settings (Even the Gmail help says to choose a manual setup for IMAP but WM6.1 appears not to let you do this).
So my question is, does anyone know a workaround? For now I guess I'll live with it being POP3, but would really prefer IMAP settings if I can find out how to set it up.
yes you have to create a fake domain. so i do. [email protected] then you have the option of manually inputting instead having it to look for it looking automatically.

Thanks but you missed the whole point of my post. I've setup imap for gmail on wm6 many times. WM6.1 does the auto settings if you have a gmail.com address and configures it for pop3. The check box mentioned isn't there.
try not putting in the actual Gmail address on the first window where it asks you so it wont recognize it.
I tried [email protected] it lets me on to the next screen where you can do this

This is what I did as well. Worked for me.
Thanks guys. Yep the fake domain (Dang, I should have thought of that ) worked fine to get around this new "feature" of WM6.1.
All you had to do was search Google for "IMAP Gmail WM6.1" and the first, second, third, fouth, etc... result would have answered your question. Or you could have searched these forums and found tons or posts specific to this topic.
Someone with 2,239 should know that! zomg =P
It seems it's not possible to have 2 hotmail accounts on same device, when I create a new one, the old one dissapears. Can I get around this somehow?
Yes, you can. Instead of using Live, I used Hotmail's POP/SMTP settings. Second, when setting up the accounts in Pocket Outlook, when INITIALLY asked for your email address type your [email protected] and select to manually enter the rest of the settings vs automatically detecting them. Then, when you have everything setup, go back to account settings and change the original [email protected] to [email protected].
You only need to use the h.com on the initial account setup screen. The reason for this is if you enter hotmail.com it will kick you over to Live and then you are stuck using one hotmail account only.
Hope this helps!

BTW, here are the POP/SMTP settings if you need them;
You can set up POP3 or upgrade to a more recent version of Outlook.Add a Hotmail POP3 account in Outlook:
1. In Outlook, on the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.

3. In the Server Type box, select POP3.
4. In the Internet E-mail Settings (POP3) box, type the following Hotmail account information, and then click More Settings.

· In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) field, type smtp.live.com.
Under Logon Information:
· In the User Name field, type your Windows Live ID
(for example: [email protected]).
· In the Password field, type the password you use with your Windows Live ID.
5. On the Outgoing Server tab, select the My outgoing server (SMTP)
requires authentication check box.
6. On the Advanced tab tab, type the following information, and then click OK.
Under Incoming Server (POP3):
· Select the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) check box.

Try this:
1. Open your account Inbox.
2. Select Menu>Tools>Options...
3. Press and hold the manually created hotmail account.
4. Tap Delete from the menu that appears.
Yahoo does not give you free POP access like most other providers do. This poses a problem for Android users.
You have 2 choices; you can either pay Yahoo $20 a year to enable POP access or try this hack.
You must follow these steps in this order exactly for the highest probability of working.
1. Turn Wi-Fi off (I know...crazy right? It will NOT work if you don't)
2. Go to the "email" icon
3. Click "Menu" then "Add Account"
4. Enter email address ([email protected])
5. Enter your password in “password” field
6. Select "Manual Setup"
7. Select "imap"
8. In the "username" field enter your [email protected]
9. In the "password" field enter your password
10. In the "imap server" field enter the following imap.mail.yahoo.com
11. In the "port" field it will probably already say 143 if not then enter it there
12. In the "security" drop-down select none
13. The "optional" field should be left blank
14. Select "next"
15. You may be prompted to sign in here. If so, do so.
Then you will be taken to the SMTP setting screen
1. In the "smtp server" field enter smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
2. In the "port" field it will probably already say 587 if not then enter it there
3. In the "security type" drop-down select none
4. Ensure "Require sign in" is checked
5. Click "next"
6. Wait until the device starts showing email
7. Turn Wi-Fi back on and enjoy
*This is NOT guaranteed to work but it worked perfectly for me
**I do NOT recommend using Yahoo for anything but, if you are like me you have an account you set up years ago and would like for your device to retrieve it too.
That will work fine whether wifi is on or off.
The only thing you're doing is that you are using IMAP instead of POP3.
And FYI: Yahoo *DOES* give you free POP access.
Really.
And no, they do NOT charge you for it.
Go into your yahoo mail and press options --> pop access and forwarding. Check the radio button that says "Web & POP access", then press "save".
The server is "pop.mail.yahoo.com" SSL port 995
smtp is at "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" SSL port 465

Thanks Shagge, I prefer to use imap rather than using yahoo mail app, which consumes extra memory.
