IMAP mail settings in CAB file - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading

Does anyone know how to make a cab file that can contain the necessary email account settings so that I dont have to keep doing it by hand everytime I do a rom update?
JD

Now that is information I would pay good money for!

How much exactly?

its not just after upgrading a ROM but every 4 or 5th soft reset with wm6 I loose all the IMAP settings and WiFi/GPRS passwords.
Oh how handy would a CAB file be......

Tell me about it......it drives me mad, thats why i started the thread

Importing pop3/mail settings for the habitual flasher

I have searched low and high for the answer to this but cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Is there anything similar to the Cabs for WiFi or even a registry template for quickly importing mail setting after a flash/hardreset? Using Sashimi for instance?
Sorry if this is not directly ROM related, but I suppose it is when you want to quickly get all your emails set up having done a flash/hardreset.
Thanks in advance to any who can help?
You can do this with User Customization in a provisions.xml.
I havent even been able to get my phone to download my mail directly to the phone. I have to use IE to go to hotmail. Which programs are out there so I can enter my name and password and the email is delivered directly to the phone without active sync?!!?
The standard "messages" utility built into the phone seems to do it for me. You set up an account as a pop3 or imap and its just like setting one up in outlook express...

Right, but when i go to add an account after I enter my user name and password it says "select link below to access windows live hotmail account" and has a link that uses IE to get mail. I had it before where i entered my info and it downloaded it for me automatically.

Perhaps that's because hotmail doesn't support POP3. Maybe you should use an email account that actually supports the protocol that you are using. It isn't the program's fault....it's hotmail's.

Previously hotmail did work on the phone with just a regular POP account.

Hmm...perhaps I am mistaken then. I know a long time ago they allowed POP3 access through Outlook Express only, then eventually dropped that support. I specifically starting using Gmail because it allowed POP3 (and now IMAP) support and was under the impression that hotmail and yahoo didn't with out their pay services.....but I guess that could've changed in the last several years, so I'm sorry if my previous comment was misleading....that was just the way I understood it to be.

I will be releasing a new app this weekend with the latest SASHIMI release called Makisu.
It runs on your device and will create provisioning XMLs for e-mail and wireless settings. You can then import these directly from the app, or during your SASHIMI setups.
Keep your eyes open for it.
Another option is to take a look at spb backup 2. It costs a few bucks but it restores all of the settings for all mail accounts. It even puts all the mail back in your mailboxes. I sync with two exchange servers and two pop3 accounts so its vital for me to get my mail back up anf running as quickly as possible.
With the new rom upgrade mode it works flawlessly between different rom versions.
I have alson found it handy in custom mode to bakup themes and ringtones for easy flawless swaps.
Then I use bengalihs version of tiermans tierautoinstall for my cabs.
Just my 2 cents
@iceman4357
If you use vista, you might be able to setup hotmail on you computer to download to a windows live mail account and then use emoze desktop version to sync it to you phone. I am fairly sure since the release of windows live mail on vista, hotmail will no longer work with a regular pop3. They did this to get people to use live mail. I know a few people that still have hotmail accounts. I will do some diggin and see if there is a better solution.

rjcb23,
Yeah, you should definitely check this out! I actually just used SASHIMI last night (even without Makisu) and it perfectly provisioned my email account. I used the following link for documentation - in post 3 under "EMAIL2 CSPs" he shows the layout and links to Microsoft documentation as well as a GUID generator.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
Bengalih's SASHIMI is now my third favorite sashimi (it's really hard to beat hamachi and toro). If you are a habitual flasher you owe it to yourself to give SASHIMI a serious look.

Yeah, actually Makisu is basically going to create the XMLs that SASHIMI imports (or really Makisu can do it stand-alone). It creates the XML files with user inputted information, and even generates the GUID.
I think there are some similar things out there, but this is the only one I know of that will run on the device itself, and do the whole thing.

Can't delete 'ghost' email accounts

Hi
Something went wrong while restoring a backup using Sprite Backup, and it only partially restored my email accounts. In the TF3D interface, the accounts are visible. But as soon as I tap an email to open it in the WM email program, I directs me to the main Messaging screen. In that screen the email accounts do not show op.
When I try to re-add the account under the same name, I get an error saying the account already exists. I've looked in the registry and file structure to see where WM6 stores mail account information, but was unable to find it.
Does anyone know which files or registry keys I need to delete to make sure all traces of the email accounts are gone?
why don't you try to do a restore again?

The backup was from when I was running a different rom, that's why it's not working the way it should.
I had the same problem. I wrote simple MortScript.
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Place a shortcut to this script to a \Windows\Startup folder and reset. It will have a brand new cemail.vol file when everything boots up. Don't forget to delete the shortcut, or you'll have a brand new cemail.vol every time you boot. It would delete email and sms/mms. After that you can restore your mail one more time.
Problem is in your Sprite Backup and unmark some fields with registry restore ( manual mark fields ). After second restore everything was ok.
Thanks! that fixed it
Perfect fix!
Thanks
I used MortScript to solve the problem. The disadvantage to this is that it wipes out your Txt message history and all your e-mail accounts... all things considered, I'm very happy with this solution.
One thing that tripped me up: When you edit a file in Mobile Word and save it as a text file, it will put a .txt extension on the file, no matter how you tell it to save it. You cannot fix this with File Explorer built into WM6. You will need to either edit the file name with Total Commander or through your computer (via Activesync).
Same Issue
Same issue here, but please How do I write the Mortscript? Any Step by Step guide? This is practically new to me. I just copied what you wrote above into word and create a .txt file?
The ghost email ( 1) on my tab is so annoying

Help: Phantom e-mail account after Sprite restore

My AT&T Fuze display broke the other day. I managed to use MyMobiler to access the phone and back up (using Sprite Backup), and restore the backup on the new phone. The restore worked great, however, I now have a e-mail account on my e-mail tab that I cannot access to remove. If I go to my accounts, the account is not listed, so I cannot delete it. I also cannot access the inbox of the account.
Does anyone know how to remove this phantom account. It is a file or registry setting?
Thanks!

There is always a "phantom" one there, it is for outlook.
P.S. Good job with the my mobiler, you obviously searched unlike most noobs.
Welcome to XDA
You can get rid of it on your tf3d by connecting to you're computer via active sync, and unchecking the email box for what to sync.
I may not have explained this properly.
I am not referring to the Outlook default mail account.
On my old Fuze, I had an account setup to get my GMail. This worked great. When I backed up and restored on my new Fuze, this GMail account was still listed on the Mail tab, but I am unable to open the mailbox and this account is no longer listed under my mail accounts.
Any suggestions?
I've got the same issue. My 1st fuze got swapped out for a power issue it had. Did a full backup and restore with Sprite. The restore did NOT setup my alternate IMAP gmail accounts I had configured on the 1st one ... but I have the ghosts of them in TF3D tab. I can see all the accounts, and even flick through the email that was on the original unit at the time of the backup.
I've setup the accounts manually again, but now I have duplicate account appearances on the TF3D screen.
I tried reinstalling the Manila cab.
Tried removing, rebooting and re-adding the Email tab with Diamond TF3D config too. No effect.
Can't find any specific references in the registry for the email tab.
I posted a thread here too last week. Got one hit on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457987
You need to delete cemail.vol. The file is locked while the phone is on, so you'll need to use Mortscript to delete it on boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429784&highlight=cemail.vol+mortscript
Perfect!
Thanks for the point in the right direction!
I'm shocked that everyone is going through such effort to solve this problem when there's a program on the Sprite back up site that fixes the issue.
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/a...earch=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0&start=0
Though the article states it will delete all data, it didn't on my device. I was able to see my ghost IMAP account that would show up on the TF3D tab, but not in the messaging app itself.
I also use an AT&T Fuze
uh. . . maybe because no one Knew about it?
Thanks for the Link.
I have the same exact issue.. except I am using Sbp Backup ... but I think I'll try deleting the cemail.vol
I was also having a problem with 2 phantom email accounts in TF2D email tab after a backup - they were not shown in the accounts menu.
I used SKTools (Full Version) to scan all PIM information (actual heading 'Delete PIM information') which showed all accounts - highlight the phantom account/s, and then select 'delete account' from the action button.
All fixed - thanks all for the push in the right direction.
I am having the same phantom gmail account from a sprite backup on the fuze after getting rid of att bloat. I wish there was an easier way.
There is an easier way
Unzip the attached file to your device and run it. It will enumerate all accounts, even the hidden ones. You can choose to delete them or change settings. Whatever you need.
Hope this helps!
not working for me
Not sure what I am missing, but I see no option for deleting an account, only Repair, from the Feb 3 09 mailAccountRepair attachment. When the "busy circle" starts after selecting Repair, it does not finish (at least in 30 sec). Whether I Quit or not before soft reset, no changes are present. Any help appreciated.
HTC Touch Pro (Sprint), ROM 1.03, Nov 2008
Yes, please help. I have my work outlook (activesync) account that I want on there. I have to other email accounts (ie pop) that I want to delete and I can find no way to do it. HTC Touch Pro.
Thanks!
I had the same issue you're having, after exchanging my first Fuze out due to a problematic screen. When I restored the backup on to my new Fuze, I had the same ghost accounts. What I simply did was a hard reset, then when I ran Sprite I deselected the box that restores backed up emails. The restore went without a hitch, then I went into outlook and simply recreated my email accounts. After a couple minutes, I had all the email back.
Easiest way? Prolly not, but it worked for me.

permanently deleting emails on WM6.1 Activesync

Ok i currently use a verizon xv6800,
And have activesync set up to sync with my exchange 2003 server.
It works great, my one only question is, is there anyways, that anybody knows, to be able to Permanently delete messages from my inbox (Like doing a Shift+Delete) on my desktop. When i delete on my WM device it moves the message into the deleted items, theres gotta be a way to permanently delete a message from the mobile device.. please tell me theres a way
thanks
fred
unfortunately emails go to trash when you delete them.. you can't avoid it using standard measures.. if there's an app for it I'm not familiar with... you might be able to find it if you searched hard enough thru the forum.
worst case, you can request a developer here to build one.. i don't think it should be too complicated

Backing up Mail Account settings?

Is there a tool that allows the saving and restoration of mail account settings.
Would save some time after a hard reset.
Try app Microsoft My Phone!!
You can use Makisu to store your mail settings in an xml file and use Sashimi to restore your settings after flashing.

You can't backup your e-mail with MyPhone? Or are you looking for an extra option to sync e-mail setup information? AFAIK MyPhone will not only save your e-mails but your account information as well! But I'm not a big fan of MyPhone (it always messes up syncing with my PC), so I'm not sure.
YAAAAY! My 1000th post!
I have contacts, calender, tasks, sms, favorites, photos, videos, music, documents and storage card. Nothing more...
SPB backup does the trick for me!
I like the fact you can pick and choose what you can restore from a previous backup, hence if there where anything conflicting you can leave it out!
Awesome piece of kit!
spb backup can backup/restore the email-setting and/or just the emails?
That's a good question! +1
Yes it does!

When I first got it I wasn't sure but sure enough, After a hard reset and a full back up everything (and I mean everything) was back to how it was! great piece of kit!
Only thing I had a problem was had a couple of errors with SPBtv but still seemed to work fine.
So I Can confirm it will back up:
Registry
Mail accounts
Wifi settings/configurations
mail (both sms & email)
Bookmarks in Opera
and so the list goes on..
One word of warning, when it asks if the time is the same as on your phone, you need to make sure it is as only made that mistake once
Phone kept glitchin away till my next hard reset...
No long term damage done tho so all is good!
Well worth the money personally!
Is there no simple tool to back-up and restore only email account settings?
No tool? ;D
Okay. Wherre are the mail account settings stored.
Eg accounts and server settings?
SPB Backup works for me.
​
SPB Backup
I installed SPB backup and had a play.
There is no option for backing up just mail settings.
Do I need to perform a system backup or email backup? Note I don't care about the emails, I just want the account settings.
When I do a restore does it give me more options?
you could use provisional xml to backup email only. It's a bit complicated but after you do it once you'll get the hang of it.
Not interested in the email.
After a flash I find it a pain having to re-setup my email accounts (3). Would be cool to just restore the settings only. They all sync via Exchange and IMAP so no need to backup.
Provisional XML backs up the settings, not the emails themselves
Thanks McKenna
Followed these instructions
Thanks for posting you guys, Complete noob to this,
1. So I install vinny's app ( Storage Card )
2. Copy & Paste Shogunmarks files to pc
3. Edit xml files to include my info
4. Copy to same folder as 1. on ppc.
5. After Hard reset just run Vinnys app.
