email help: how to set up 'select an account' as default?

I'd like to know if there is a way to set up my mail so which I click on the mail icon, I can choose a mail account, text message, etc. (account picker)?

Possible?

I've been trying to figure this out for almost two days and finally fixed it by editing the following registry entry.

Under:
current user - software - Microsoft - inbox - settings

The first key on my phone is AcctPicker. Change the data from 0 to 1

Soft reset and the Account Picker screen is restored.

P.S. I think this may be a bug. I had checked the box to by-pass the screen in the future and could find no other way to get it back aside from editing the registry.

There are important setting available only through the menu on the account picker page and it should be easier to restore.

Are you using Titanium or Manila?
If manila just click on the email tab and you can select the account you want. For texts click on the text tab.
If you are not using manila when you open messaging you can click on the right softkey and select options or settings and mark the checkbox that says "display account picker when opening messaging."
