Removing old mail accounts from TF3D

skywing269 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-02-2009, 04:13 PM

So I just flashed my TP to an updated ROM and restored all my data using Sprite Backup. It brought everything back fine, however it also brought back the 2 POP mail accounts I had configured previously. TF3D is still showing envelopes containing emails for these accounts, however the accounts and emails do not exist on the system itself. Tapping on them simply brings me to the Setup New Account screen. How would I go about removing these non-existent accounts so that I may remake them from scratch? Thanks.

open the keyboard (easier that way) and touch the email box. When it shows the accounts (one in yellow) press the down 'arrow' of the d-pad and highlight the account that you want to delete. The 'menu' on the bottom right only has 'options' and 'delete.' Hit delete and it should get rid of that account.

I'm having the same problem, and its not that the accounts are setup and can be deleted from the accounts screen - thanks for the idea tho - its that they don't exist to be deleted but the e-mails show up on the Mail tab of the TF3D screen.

If you make a new account in email, I think that will convince TF3d to re-generate its view of your mail folders.

Sorry, no luck, those phantom accounts are still there. As another person said, they do not exist in the account list for me to delete them, they are only visible in TF3D

Yeah, I had tried that already, made and even deleted 2 new mail accounts. The "phantoms" still stick but the new accounts appear and disappear

Weird. I wonder what its picking up? You could nuke the database used by tmail (help me out here folks, anyone remember which .vol that is?) and soft-reset. Then tmail should re-create the database all clean and empty. Maybe that would do it?

you mean the cemail.vol file? I tried to delete it but it said it was in use

go into dotfred task manager and kill tmail.exe, then try it. Might need to uncheck TF3d from today settings too.

Or, just rename it using total commander and then restart, then delete the renamed file (old trick for those pesky locked files

)
