Android Command line to delete an Email account - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I'm looking to delete an exchange active sync email account from an Android phone.
I have the task of setting up mobile device managment for our organisation and so I've been looking at Sophos Mobile Control to manage our corporate devices.
Sophos does not allow to remove an Active Sync account and leave all personal information intact. It does have the functionallty for iOS and it works!
However there is a task to send commands to the phone (see screen shot). So I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way of sending a command line to the phone to delete a specified email account?

2. You will get an SMS on your mobile phone.

Why do I need to give you my mobile phone number?
We need your number so we can send you the SMS you need to set-up Consilient Push on your phone.
What is "push" email?
Push email is mobile email that is instantly delivered to your mobile phone giving you real-time access to your email when you're on the move. "Non-push" email solutions only poll your mailbox at intervals looking for new mail and then send it to your phone. Using a true push email solution, your mobile phone will always mirror your desktop mailbox.
How much does it cost?
Nothing, Consilient Push is a free service.
Why is it taking so long to sync my emails on my phone?
The more emails you have, the longer it takes to sync them with your phone.
Are there any additional costs?
The only additional costs are for a data plan from your network operator. You need a data plan to use Consilient Push on your mobile phone.
How do I get a data plan?
Contact your network operator and select one of their wireless data packages that best suits your needs.
Can I view attachments?
Yes, you can receive, forward, save, and view photos and other attachments with Consilient Push.
Can I use my existing email account?
Yes, Consilient Push supports all popular email platforms. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!, any POP3 or IMAP4 account.
How many email accounts can I set up?
You can have up to 5 of your favorite email accounts pushed to your mobile phone.
When I travel, do I get charged for roaming?
Contact your network operator to find out about roaming fees.
What happens if I go out-of-coverage?
If connection is lost, Consilient Push will immediately bring all new emails to your mobile phone once a connection is restored, including anything that was received during downtime.
Is this a secure email service?
Yes, all data transmitted is encrypted via 128-bit industry standard SSL protocol. User information including your password is not stored on the Consilient Push server.

For Windows Mobile Devices [ Most Important on this forum ] ;-)
Windows Mobile
I've installed Consilient Push on my Smartphone 2003 device but there is no Push account available. Did the installation fail?
Smartphone 2003 devices require a separate utility to provision the Push account in Outlook (on all other platforms the CAB installer performs this step automatically). After the CAB is installed, a Push Setup application is available in the Start Menu. When run it will provision the account in Outlook, prompting for credentials if an SMS message with the credential information is not found. When this utility is completed, a Push account should be available within Outlook.
Can I add more than one account for Consilient Push?
At this time Consilient Push can only be set up to sync mail for a single account. The ability to sync multiple accounts is being considered for a future release.
What attachment types can be viewed by Consilient Push?
Users can open any attachment as long as their device has an application installed that can view that attachment type.
Inline attachments are not showing up in my message body, why?
In order to transfer as little data as possible and save data charges from your carrier, Consilient Push treats all attachments (inline and otherwise) the same and the attachment is only downloaded if the user chooses to retrieve it.
Is there a way to download a single attachment for a message instead of downloading all attachments for that message?
This functionality is not available at this time, but is being considered for a future release.
My phone already offers POP and IMAP access, why should I use Consilient Push?
POP and IMAP continuously poll the server to check for the existence of new email. Consilient Push differs in that new email is "pushed" to the device and very little overhead is used to keep the connection alive to the server between emails. This results in lower amounts of data being used and then in turn lower data charges to the user from their carrier. Consilient Push is a much more cost effective way of retrieving your email.
Why don't I see a "Consilient Push" icon on my start menu?
Since Consilient Push uses Windows Mobile's native Outlook interface we have not provided a "Consilient Push" icon at this time. Simply launch Outlook from your mobile device and select the "Push" account
Why is that when I go into account settings in Outlook and change the message download options (eg. Only download for the last 3 days, only download headers), it seems to have no effect.
At this time these settings are not supported by Consilient Push. By default the message header plus 2 kB of data is downloaded for each message. If you wish to change how many days worth of messages to have displayed on your device at a time then please contact Consilient support to have your account updated.
When I install on my PocketPC device a security warning displays indicating that the application in from an unknown publisher. What should I do?
Simply select "yes" to allow the application to install and you will not see this warning again. This does not happen on SmartPhone devices
Why do some messages seem to be cut short and the entire message not displayed?
In order to keep data charges to you as low as possible, Consilient Push only downloads the message headers plus 2 kB of the message body for each email. In order to view more of your message, from the message's menu select "Download Message" and the next 1 kB of the message body will be download. This can be repeated as many times as desired or until the entire message has been downloaded.
Why do I need to tell Consilient Push to download the attachments I want to view? Can I have all attachments downloaded by default?
In order to prevent excessive data charges from your carrier, Consilient Push only downloads attachments requested by the user. This cannot not be changed at this time.
I'm currently with Fido, and have this nice setup where all my G-Mail gets sent directly to my Fido e-mail; and my fido mail gets sent to my phone via SMS. With an unlimited incoming plan this is a cheap way to stay up to date with you e-mails.

I think it adds a footer message to your outgoing email. I haven't seen any spam incoming, however, they claim they will be releasing a new stand alone client which I am expecting will have banner ads or something, hopefully we wont be FORCED to upgrade to that client, but who knows.
Ok thanks ill give it a go

[Q] How to sync emails from PC with Android phone (Galaxy S)?

Hey folks,
I'm sorry this is probably a n00b question but I would like to sync my emails from my PC with my phone.
On the PC I use thunderbird to download all emails (got like 6 email accounts) to the pc and delete them from the server immidiately. (I've had accounts beeing hacked in the past because I left password emails etc in my inbox, so I started to delete them from server instead of leaving them on for more security - so I can't just "download them again" from the phone - I will need to sync the phone with the data from the PC. I could switch my email client program off course if thats needed, but I rather not let the messages lay somewhere online.
Can someone maybe explain to me how that would work or give me a link or smth?
It would be perfect if it would work both sides: Either I sync the phone with the PC or the PC with the phone, or a real sync where just the new emails get exchanged. (On the same time I'd also get this to work for my laptop but phone more important now since i got it heh)
I hope someone can help me.
you can't sync with EVERY email client..
it does sync with outlook/OE... I don't know about thunderbird tho. What you CAN try to do is change the settings to never delete emails from your server when downloaded to your computer and then sync so that when you delete them from your phone they'd be deleted from the server.
get my drift?
hmm well im used to thunderbird, but i dont have to keep using it necessarily. I'd change if it makes this whole syncing easier. Its been bugging me for a while that I didnt have my emails on my laptop but now i also need em on the phone.. so I wanna finally get this to work.
The method you described wouldnt work if I somehow download the emails to the phone first instead of the pc, it would work like u described, but if I'd rather work it in both ways, a real "sync".
With outlook you could do this yea?
Try using Gmail or Windows Live mail, its more compatabile with most wireless. Goto m.live.com or Gmail
well, if you use gmail you can easily keep it on both your computer and your phone and it would sync both ways.
Get a gmail account. Then forward all your email accounts to the gmail account. You can also set the gmail account to send out as one of the other accounts.
Setup the gmail account as an imap client in thunderbird or outlook. Create a folder under the inappropriate account named old emails or whatever. Move the emails stored in your local folders to the folder setup under the imap account (you can do it directly to the inbox if you prefer).
Setup gmail on your mobile device.
Say thanks.

Cleaner Explanation.
1) Create a Gmail account at Gmail.com (or skip this step if you already have one).
2) Log into the web versions of each of your email accounts. Set the account to forward all emails to the new gmail account address (typically these settings are found under the settings or Options menu somewhere on the page). If you would like to continue to use these accounts you can either:
a) Give Gmail permission to send emails as all the accounts or one in particular. (Note once in the mobile apps, you cannot choose different sender addresses, only the default one. You can however change from each address on the web interface).​ b) Set a forwarder and then specify to leave a message on the server.​
3) Setup the gmail account you created as an IMAP account (use IMAP not SMTP) in thunderbird or Outlook.
a) You can find the Imap settings for desktop clients here.​
4) Once the initial sync is complete, simply drag and drop the emails from the old inbox to the Gmail account's inbox (listed in a tree menu under the IMAP.Gmail.Com listing.
5) You can now set up this email address as a SMTP or IMAP (IMAP keeps the emails on the server. This is a better idea in some cases as you have exact copies of emails on all devices you set them up as.
6) Say thanks
You can also manually do this for each email account you have, but that would take much longer and some companies do not allow or simply haven't moved to using IMAP yet (freaky right?).
Using the gmail way, you have all your emails from all your accounts plus the wonders of google. This is the easiest way to do it I can think of.
I hope my explanation is clean and clear.
thanks for the detailed explanation I guess I'll do it that way.
But the downside that you have to keep the mails on the server still stays this way. I'd really love the option to do a real sync how you expect a sync to be but I guess thats complicated or doesnt work?
I mean like.. when I'm at home .. I download the mails from my desktop pc over usb or wlan. Then I download new emails while I'm travelling or smth - and when I get back home I sync my desktop with the phone emails.
This must work somehow? I'd really hate to have to leave my emails on the server since I got bad experience with this.
I guess I'm just beeing paranoid - but I'm also perfectionist heh, so I'd love to try n get it going "the perfect way" - aka a real offline sync without usage of any server storage. (unless you count my desktop as a server..)
If you setup the system to use smtp on the phone it will dowbload the email, other than that i would suggest using a very good password.

[Q] Offline email like Outlook

All Android email apps are based on a Web mail and depend on availability of the wireless connection (WiFi or 3/4G).
Is there an app for Android that works like the Outlook on the PC, that allows user having a POP mail account, to keep his Inbox and other folders containing the relevant messages in the Smartphone’s memory, for offline consultation, responses, etc, without need to retrieve them from Google/Yahoo or other Web service provider each time he needs to use them?
When you use the default e-mail app, you should be able to use mail offline. The app has an option the check for e-mail manually. I use it with my microsoft exchange account at work.
Search for a mailprover which support IMAP. Your mail stays at the webserver, but you can view it offline in you mail app.

[Q] Emoze Email App Security

Let me start by saying I do nto want to spend 20$ on Touchdown.
Has anyone used this email app for their corporate emails? I am just wondering how secure it is and how I would talk my director into letting is be used if it keeps getting blocked my gmail as coming from Israel? I did email their support and here is an answer I received.
Dear Customer,
Please login to your Gmail account from PC browser and see if there is a warning about suspicious login attempt. Allow access from our server.
The instructions are inside Google warning.
Then long press on account record on main application screen and choose Send / Receive.
This is not a hacking attempt - it is an attempt of our service to communicate with your account.
Emoze designed to work as client - server. We do not save any information on our servers.They work as smart routers only. All data transferred only when device connects to collect new mail through encrypted tunnel.
If you have additional questions do not hesitate to ask.
I do like some of the options it gives me in Emoze, such as the ability to be notified when i get an email in one of my folders that is under my inbox...I have many folders set and I have rules set to send emails to them, in the stock email app it will not send me a notification when I get emails to those folders.
So, my question is, what are your thoughts on this app and would you use it for work?
Why not use K9 mail with APG encryption?

issues adding email accounts

So I've been away for a while and things have changed a bit with the accounts tab. It used to be in settings under account you could add all your email addresses and they would auto load to the email app. Well it seems thats not the case now. anyway I added all my accounts to the accounts tab, so it has my work email, my yahoo address, and the google account I used to sign in to the phone. Then I went into the native email app and added my yahoo and work emails. The gmail app auto loaded the gmail I have attached to the google account from logging into the phone, however I don't like the gmail app and wanted to use the native email app only. So I disabled the Gmail app in settings and went back to the native app. When I attempt to add the gmail email that is attached to the phones google account it tells me I have a user name and password issue. I have checked and rechecked and I know I'm typing it right and that the info being use is right. I'm not sure why this email won't add. any ideas???
Have you tried simply adding the account from the Mail app? Remove everything first if some stuff are already listed.

Cite from Google Play : Allowing less secure apps to access your account"
Allowing less secure apps to access your account
Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with iOS 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
Change account access for less secure apps
To help keep Google Apps users' accounts secure, we may block less secure apps from accessing Google Apps accounts. As a Google Apps user, you will see a "Password incorrect" error when trying to sign in. If this is the case, you have two options:
Option 1: Upgrade to a more secure app that uses the most up to date security measures. All Google products, like Gmail, use the latest security measures.
Option 2: Change your settings to allow less secure apps to access your account. We don't recommend this option because it might make it easier for someone to break into your account. If you want to allow access anyway, follow these steps:
Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account.
Next to "Access for less secure apps," select Turn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)
If you still can't sign in to your account, the "password incorrect" error might be caused by a different reason.
It seems to be caused by Google Play Account Policy.
Would you try to low down your account security level or try to sign-in on different android device to check again?
Hope the information can help you.
That's interesting info. HTC Mail just had an update yesterday (or maybe the day before). If I were you I would try removing all mail accounts, clear data/cache for the mail app, uninstall update, reboot, install update, and try again.
