Too Many messaging / email "system" accounts

[Alibaba0101]

Hi Folks,
I just came across an interesting problem with my newly imaged Kaiser. When I went to create a new e-mail account, it gave me an error saying that i already had the maximum number. When I open the messaging directory, I see that i have 5 ( yes count'm five) different system accounts.

1) why are there so many?
3) which one is the one that is actually being used?
2) how do I delete all of the extra ones?

Here are all of the accounts right now
1) SMS/MMS
2) Blackberry
3) System
4) System
5) System1
6) System2
7) System3


thanks for all the help!

thanks!

Hi,

this happens due to improper installation of the blackberry client.
best hint: make a hardreset and reinstall blackberry.

cheers

yeah, it's hard, I know. I've gone through this several times. I currently have 2 system accounts and can live with that, but the only way I found to get rid of them was by doing a hard reset....

Remove cemail.vol, which will delete all of your accounts - or see if you can remove each account manually?

deleting cemail might destroy BB functionality. afaik, one cannot remove the system account manually, but I may be wrong here...

that may still be a viable option. I may have to uninstall and re-install blackberry. But at least I won't have to do completely redo the rest of the setup.

thank you both for your suggestions!

See the DSM type number at the bottom of the account picker in the invalid system volume? take the first five or six numbers & do a registry search. Delet the parent key associated with it or, as I do it, use SK tools & delete, using the same method to search, the pimmail volume associated to it.

Easy!

Hmm,
Interesting approach, thanks! I tried searching the registery for the account name, but not the CSLID. I'll try that. The only problem, how do I know which of the 5 is being used?

With the amount of time, I've spend looking into this...i could've done a hard reset and resetup everything by now. LOL
