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

Hi,
this is my first post here but hopefully I can help in this case.
I have had also a problem with my unwanted mail account (WM6.1, TF3D).
This is what I found a while ago. Please take a look at the link below:
http://dsaxman.com/mobile/how-to-delete-an-email-account-on-windows-mobile-6-1/.
I did like an author recommends and it helped! Simple solution, without digging in windows registry.

do i just put it in a txt doc?
thanks

How to create start menu item for Java program? (i.e. Gmail client?)

I think I've searched the forum pretty well, but i still can't find out how to add a start menu item to my HTC Fuze (Touch pro) gmail client (which is a java app). I've seen in other threads how to set up gmail with the native email client on the phone, but i'd like ot use the actual java gmail client without having to navigate from start menu -> java -> gmail. how do i do this?
also, how do i set the client so it's signed? it always asks me for permission to access the internet when i want to refresh or send a message. how can i sign gmail so it doesnt ask this?
thanks!

first of you ned to uninstall gmail from your midlet manager and then goto its directory and then into the appdb subdir and note the LAST "suite" file (they have a number after them) and then reinstall gmail and then go back to the appdb folder and note the NEW suite file made and then make a duplicate of any lnk in the start menu and then go into its properties and change the location to this
"Storage Card\Program Files\JBed3dMod\Jbed.exe" -run s69_"
of course adjust the above path to MATCH your midlet managers location AND THE SUITE NUMBER
any problems pm me as i will probably forget i posted here

Where can I find the midlet mannager?I installed some java apps and I don't know how to access them again!

Well, most would likely has the word Java in the Start->Program. If you use cooked rom, it might be moved to other folder in Start->Program.

Great thanks! Just FYI to other readers: since gmail was the first midlet i installed (and i'm running ROMEOS latest which starts out with no midlets installed) then in the \windows\appdb folder there was only one suite file set to choose from (a bunch of files all starting with s1_). Thus, I created a link in the "\windows\start menu" folder with following line in the properties (including the quotation marks)
"\Windows\jbed.exe" -run appdb\s1_"
It worked! now when i click this item in the start menu, it brings up gmail. If only i could change the icon...
What about the signing problem? Whenever I refresh Gmail's inbox or try to send an email, it asks me if i'm okay with it being "untrusted". I've found other posts that explained how to use the native email client with Gmail, but I'd like to get the java gmail client to work without the repetitive questioning. How can we tell the phone to let the Gmail midlet do what it wants? (i know i know...i'll go read the wiki

Here's how to deal with the 'trust' issue with Gmail in Java from an article on pdaphonehome.com regarding the Opera Mini midlet. This works the same for the Gmail app.
Skipping the Connection Permission Prompt (Only applies to JBed)
One of the only negatives of using Jbed, over Jeodek, used to be that any time an application wanted to access to the Internet, Jbed would ask twice if you want to allow the action. It will also forget this permission next time you ran the application, so you would have to give permission every time you ran a Midlet that tried to access the Internet. Thanks to forum user g-funkster, a work around for this annoyance has been found!
1.) Copy the file \windows\appdb\selector.utf to your PC (make sure backup this file first in case something goes wrong!)
2.) Remove read-only attribute
3.) Open the file with a hex editor, and find the line
Code:
domain=untrusted, \
Replace the text untrusted with the text tckmax. Add space characters between the x (in tckmax) and the comma (otherwise connection warnings or a nullpointerexception error may occur). The above line may appear multiple times in the "selector.utf" file, each corresponds to a different Java Midlet you have installed in JBed.
Code:
domain=tckmax , \
If hex editing is too blackhat for you, g-funkster has created a desktop application that can do this for you automatically! You can find it here.

I used Notepad++ to edit the file and it worked perfectly.

I need the .lnk file for Outlook Contacts

I ran the ClearTemp software and it deleted the .lnk file or whatever it's called for my Outlook Contacts icon. So, I can no longer get into my Outlook Contacts. The icon for Outlook Contacts is gone both in the programs and the Start Menu. How do I get the file back, or create a new file? Where are these files located on the phone? They don't show file extenstions with File Explorer, so it makes it really hard to find anything. I can't even find a search feature to search for files. Thank you for your help and time.

If you did this, it's easy to find this.
Edit: BTW, you need TotalCommander.

Thanks for the information, but I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do. It's very confusing. I just create a text file called anything I want, like outlook.lnk and I just put "poutlook.exe" in that text file? Then what folder does that file go into? Does it matter? How do I get a link on my, "Programs" desktop to it? I'm really confused. Thanks.

Just look in your windows folder with active sync. Organize by file type, and scroll to the .lnk files. That's where you'll find it, although it may have a different name (check initflashfiles.dat if the naming is weird). Copy to the start menu and rename if needed.

Script to set up email

Hi
With the amount my phone randomly formats itself lately it would be very useful for me to have a script or similar which could set-up my email accounts again. Does anyone know how to do this? I do have Mortscript but do not know how to make it do anything complicated.
Thanks

Yeah, I made a few provisioning XML files which contain all my email settings for my 3 accounts using Sashami. Register an account for the forum in the link (or otherwise obtain login credentials) and download the .cab. Install it, and open up Makisu (in the Sashami folder). Follow the wizard to create a provisioning XML file for an email account. When you're done, you should have an XML file which can be imported using tools like XDA User Customization during the initial boot (built into many cooked ROMs), Advanced Config, and Dotfred's Advanced Task Manager (though IIRC you have to rename the extension from .xml to .provxml to import with Dotfred's task manager). You can even make the XML file into a .cab by following these instructions (under "Creating the CAB File"), so you don't have to import it or change to a ROM with XDA_UC. This may seem like a lot of work right now, but you'll be grateful when you don't have to set up your email for the 70th time.

Thanks Dave. Sashimi is brilliant!

Windows Mobile 6.5 Imap Folders

I was doing some googling and this is as good a place as any to find users who have a clue.. so Im wondering if anyone has had this problem or a workaround.
I have a SE X1 (winmo 6.1) I configured my imap mail perfectly, but the only folders my device download from is the Inbox. I have other folders that I use to sort mail into (via mail rules on my desktop).. which are not downloading mail at all. I can see them listed, but they all show empty.
I was hoping this would be fixed in winmo 6.5, so I upgraded my X1 to 6.5 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else managed a workaround to synce other folders.. to clarify in the diagram below .. is an example of my structure .. in the example I am not getting mail in my client 1 or client 2 folder
Imap - Inbox
- Sent
- Client 1
- Client 2
- etc...
I hope that makes sense

Hi
I've got the same problem. If anyone has an answer...
Furthermore, the folders of my pocket outlook, like "sent messages" are created in my web mail account (like yahoo), because the name of theses folders (sent, trash...) are not the same.

UP!
I also have the same issue...
May be somebody can give an alternative?

Sync other folder
You can sync any folder you wish by selecting it as a managed folder. To do so follow these steps.
1. Open your mail box.
2. Click the options button and select Tools
3. Select Managed folders
4. Select each folder you wish to sync then click ok
The next time you send and receive mail the folder will be synchronized.
I had this same problem and just recently discovered this solution. In my case I would send a message from my Yahoo email account and although it would tell me it was sent, I would have no verification after the fact. It was not listed on my device in the sent folder nor was it listed via the website in the sent folder. I had to send a test to another one of my email accounts to verify the send funciton was actually working.
PLEASE NOTE: You should make sure your sent folder is fairly clean before syncing. I did not clean it first and it had to sync over 300 messages from that one folder.

I have tried this, but it appears that only allows the sync via activesync and not via the normal internet connection (ie when you are not connected to your pc) .. am I missing something ?

This is the way to do it on Win MO 6.1 - I have this set up on Blackstone.
Unfortunately on HD2 (6.5) I can not find Tools and manage folders choice.
Anybody knows where it is hidden?
FOUND IT!
Before someone else spends hours looking - Disable Sense, go to win standard GUI - all settings are there. Same thing with repeat sound in alarm.... GUI is hiding settings!!!!
Why HTC thinks they know what I want to see and adjust?
Often I do not want it the way I want it!!!!

I think you'll find that the option is there, it's just not immediately obvious that one needs to scroll down.
From your home tab, do the following:
Email tab
Inbox (left soft key)
Menu
At this stage it APPEARS that 'Go to >' is the last menu item. It actually isn't. If you scroll down you will reveal 'Tools' 'Select Messages' and 'Send via Bluetooth' .
'Manage folders' is in the 'Tools' sub menu.
No need to disable Sense.

You sure? For me it worked this way (same problem). I've not even activated email-syncing via ActiveSync.
thans a lot, ljhedrick!!

Hello! Thanks for the help ljhedrick and Franwella (could not find those tabs)

Hi Franwella. Excellent tip. I could not spot the tools option and you led me straight to it and now I have managed to sync IMAP sub folders with my Gmail account. Brilliant ! Thanks.

Cannot download messages from server over IMAP
Hello,
I would like to ask you for some help because I cannot find a solution to my problem and I really appreciate your expertise.
So, here is the problem:
Facts.
I have 2 email accounts:
- the main business account running on a IceWarp Merak 9.x server
- a personal account running on Gmail server.
Problem.
If I receive on both addresses (servers) the same html e-mail witch contains formatted text and pictures, then using the native e-mail messaging client of my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC smartphone, here is what I get:
- on the main business account the message cannot be seen. What I see from the message is only BODY.PEEK[2]
- on the Gmail account I can see the full message, exactly as I can see it on my desktop.
I played with all the settings from „Message download limit” and „Download attachments„ for the main business account, in order to get it working. Here is what I found:
- any settings for „Download attachments„ does not change the behavior, the result is the same (BODY.PEEK[2])
- for „Message download limit” if I choose „Headers only”, download headers and then mark the message for download it is working. But this means that I should connect twice – more bandwidth and more time spent until get the messages. If I choose any other option except the above mentioned, I get the bad result BODY.PEEK[2]...
This problem is very annoying because I cannot read my business mails if I'm out of the office.
What do you think?
It is a server problem (IceWarp Merak 9.x)?
Or the native messaging client from Windows Mobile 6.5?
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Looking forward for your reply,
Best regards,
Stefan
