User name and password if not mistaken, there should not be a problem.

Delete email account?

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

Major Issue sending e-mails with attachments

I am having the oddest issue that appears to only be affecting my work e-mail account set us as "Corporate Sync" using our Exchange server. For whatever reason, I cannot send or even forward e-mails that have attachments in them. Whenever I send it, it goes straight to the outbox and no matter how much I refresh it doesn't go through and just stays stuck in my outbox and keeps telling me it failed to send it.
I already removed and added the account several times and played around with different options. I even went as far as getting the "Enhanced Email" app and it does the same thing. No other account (like my Yahoo mail accounts or Gmail) are affected by this and it was working perfectly fine prior to switching from my ThunderBolt on September 8th.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, I need this resolved ASAP as this is affecting my work and neither Verizon nor Motorola know how to fix this.
If your download attachments over wifi is not selected then it is a setting on your company Exchange server. Tell them to set the Active Sync Policy to ignore client certificates under Active Sync Policy > Authentication.

Does it make sense that it would work on my ThunderBolt though?
Quite frankly, messaging is all fu8k3d up on the bionic right now. I wouldn't put it past that it is just ****y code.

Does it work while connected to wifi?

In Exchange Management Console, go to Server Configuration > Client Access > Exchange ActiveSync tab.
Double click Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync Properties. Go to Authentication tab, and make sure Basic authentication is checked (mine already was) and check "Ignore client certificates" (default is set to Accept).

Wifi doesn't fix it but I just checked one app called Touchdown for Android 2.x and it works fine. Apparently it's a pure full supported Exchange app. I really don't like it however and would like to avoid using it. If anyone with similar issues can figure it out (even if you're on another device) it would be great.
I have read a few things about the certificate but wouldn't that affect all communication to the Exchange server and not just e-mails with attachments? If not, then why is Touchdown working fine?

[Q] LG 4X HD Exchange account

Hello folks,
Just bought this phone, and before this one I had Desire S.
So I have set up my company account for Exchange Mail, and I have one issue.
No matter if I have set to sync my accounts or not, I recieve emails on my Excahne account whenever I am online, WiFi or 3g. I have set sync to off, for everything, and I still recieve emails on Exchange. But no for Gmail app, for example. Its like, Exchange syncs itself no matter what.
When I go in the settings/accounts&sync and then under Microsoft Exchange, I see only checkboxes for Calendar and Contacts, but not for Mail. This was no case on HTC, I could choose what to sync and when to sync.
Also, there is no option to set low and peak time, for checking mail, for example, to choose to push my email from 8am to 4pm and then to check my email on every hour from 4pm until 8am, also to choose days of the week.
HTC have this option, so does SGS3, even Symbian Nokia.
Am I missing something? Can someone help?
I have root and I am on v10h.
Thanx
Are you using the LG Exchange client?
Yes, I am.
Under Sync settings it should have something that says LG Sync, and under it should be Exchange.. you go in there and you got no mail sync properties?

OK
So on the first image, you can se that my sinc is off, but my Exchange is still syncing every time I am online , and that is not the case with my Skype and Google account. They sync onlye when I am online AND I have sync ON.
And, when I go under Exchange, I can only select Contacts and Calendar, but not Mail.
Thx
IF I were you, I would remove settings and try sync again.. maybe you hit a bug? idk.

[Q] Facebook Contacts Still Showing in Contacts, Unable to Hide

Hi, I have the T-Mobile Samsung S6 and I synced my Facebook Contacts. I realized the stock Contacts App displays all my contacts, so I selected Customized List under Contacts to Display and unchecked Facebook ALL Contacts. However, even after doing this my Facebook contacts STILL show in the list. Has anyone been successful in keeping Facebook Sync on but NOT having them display under Contacts?
Really? No one else?

I'm betting you have sync contacts checked within the actual facebook app. Go to the facebook app...then go to app settings....scroll all the way to the bottom.....is sync contacts on?

Yes that is correct. I have it set on "Sync with Existing Contacts". Problem is, instead of syncing with existing contacts, it syncs all of my Facebook contacts and shows it in the Contact phone book, regardless if they were an existing contact or not.

You might want to try out Haxsync from the Playstore. Reviews are good...might be worth the $1.00.
EDIT: I just checked out the app in the playstore....I might be wrong. It hasnt been updated since 2013 lol

lol ok well seems like there isn't a quick solution to this.. .probably something with Samsung or Facebook's side. Thanks for the research though! I recall using Haxsync many years ago as well. It kinda solved some issues with syncing, though not perfect. I doubt any phone really needs it now lol, given no update since 2013

Problem with google smartlock passwords

Hi guys!!Yesterday i bought a brand new p30 pro 256gb.
I set it up and i see that google smartlock passwords doesnt work..
When i go to google smartlock passwords it gives me this message....
failed to load credential settings for this account
Any help pls??
In settings select Google. Then select Google account at the top, this will take you to your account settings, select "security" and scroll down to password manager, you will be asked for your sync password. Go back to Google settings and select smart lock for passwords at the bottom and it should be activated.
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------
Just to add... You may have to activate "Google" in settings/apps/default apps/autofill.
I also had to close all apps and reboot for this to finally work!
