All I did to remove Outlook from list was to setup picture mail. Once I did that It was removed

FINALLY figured it out! Go to Programs - ActiveSuck, err, Sync.

Go to Menu (lower right) - Options.

Uncheck all the boxes under MS Exchange (Contacts, Calendar, E-mail etc.) and click OK, OK and then let it do its thing, then click OK upper right corner to get out of there.

(I think your Hotmail and Gmail, etc. accounts should remain unaffected, mine were at least.)

And now all you should have left are the email accounts (POP or IMAP) you set up plus maybe your Picture Mail account (which oddly enough in the TF3D view just shows as blank, it only displays "Sprint Picture Mail" when you click on the Inbox, at least on mine).

To those of you who want to get rid of contacts from windows live messenger after being synced, go to Windows Live, "Menu" softkey, "Options", Sync Options, uncheck "Store Windows Live contacts in your mobile phone's contact list."

It did not work for me. The phantom Outlook is still in my list.

I too want to remove "Outlook E-mail" from when I open text, hotmail or sprint pic. mail. I don't have it on the TF3D list but I do have it when I am flicking through sprint pic. mail, hotmail and texting. Is there a way to remove it from here as well?

Does anyone know if it's possible to hide the Outlook e-mail account? I currently use GMail via IMAP for e-mail on my TP so I don't have anything set up for "Outlook E-mail." It's annoying to cycle through the messaging accounts and see GMail, Text Messages, Sprint Picture Mail, and Outlook E-mail. I hope there's a way to hide it.

Just did this myself literally 2 minutes ago

Backup your contacts using PIMbackup in case this erases them from your phone (it didnt on mine).

Go into activesync on the handheld not on your PC and choose options. Uncheck everything from contacts, calendar, mail, tasks, appointments.

If your contacts get erased reload them using pimbackup

To remove Outlook (activesync mail) from your inbox.
In your registry editor on your Touch Pro navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\

1. Back it up the Folder ActiveSync to a reg file that way you can restore it if it messes anything else up. You don't have too.
2. Delete the entire Folder ActiveSync or rename it to say ActiveSync.bkp
3. re-open your inbox and the Outlook E-mail listing should be gone
4. Hit the Thanks button

I have tested this myself and have had no issues. I now have only Hotmail, Sprint Picture Mail and Text Messages listed. I used Resco Register Editor, but any free one out there will do the same.

It may come back again if you make a new ActiveSync or WMDC partnership, but you can always get rid of it again til next time. Syncing normally seems to work fine and doesn't bring it back.

Enjoy
