Can't access or delete old email accounts

[format]

I'm with the latest ROM and apart the lack of A2DP it is very good.

Unfortunately I restored (with SPB Backup) some pop accounts that are neither visible to remove, nor available to use (arrrrgggg!!!!)

I only noticed it because: - spb diary shows them
- messaging refuses to create a pop3 with the same name (although it doesn't show it to delete or edit)

I know the detailes are stored in a system db but dbview refuses to cooperate. It only shows MSN database ?!?! with 0 records.

Where shoud I go now. I just want to edit the database and delete those crappy email accounts. Any clues? I'm stuck. I made an hard reset yesterday to install the new ROM. Not in a mood to repeat the thing...

help?

C'mon guys! Any clues? How can I delete those messaging ghost accounts?

I too am having the same problem. Everything mentioned above, plus it's still showing my old e-mail acc'ts (and the unread message count) in the today menu. Any advice?

I wanted to report that I tried an idea; however, it failed. I thought I could use SPB Backup to make a new backup in the device current's state (That is, the e-mail ghosting error) and not include e-mail in this new backup. What I was hoping for was to have the device restor everything else (leaving the e-mail out) and, thus, reset the e-mail. For some reason it didn't. The device loaded perfectly. Even so much that included the ghosting e-mail accounts.

I know this isn't a solution, but maybe someone with some more experience can read something into that.

that solution didn't work because the ghost account info is stored in the system databases.

maybe a solution can be found contacting spb because the OS is not showing it. just spb software. maybe it's tagged for not show in database and spb soft is showing it.

another way is using software to edit system databases but it.s a more risky option. and I don't know what's the best soft to do it.

keep me posted if you find a way to clean/hide those accounts.

I've sent an e-mail to SPB. I'll post their response in this thread. Were you able to add new accounts? I still cannot vía T-Mobile's "Send POP Settings To Phone" tool, nor "Set Up My E-mail" on the phone.

Glad Im not alone! I upgraded to 2.21 and restored my email from 2.17. I think that was issue. I had this happen once before with original OEM ROM upgrade to 2.17 and had to cold boot and start over again. Just too tired.

I hope there is an answer from Spb. thks for emailing them.

I get the feeling that the key thing here is not to restore email from Spb Backup after u just upgraded ROM, like I did to 2.21. Then Diairy would not have email accounts, and u could create new accounts with outlook. I have a 3rd party email editor just incase I need email, but pain in the rear to have to cold boot again. Cause again, this happned to me upgrading from OEM Rom to 2.17. I had to cold boot and start email again.

Hard lesson, hope Spb has an answer.

I seem to be working on my own problem here, cause no time to wait for answers.

I decided to remove Spb Diary. Now WM5 is not exactly a science when it comes to removing apps, but it did, and several questions poped up in reference to keeping old Diary configuration for future use, i simply said NO. Cause I will re install Diary, and it will pickup contacts and new email accounts, which I will 1st configure with out look now. Better then cold boot bro's.

Well this worked, and oulook popped up and I setup my accounts again. Hard lesson to learn. Next ROM upgrade I will NOT restore my old email accounts before setting them up with outlook, then re installing Diary.
