Try going to Program Files / PointUI / Home and deleting the cache folder. It will rebuild the next time you open and should fix the problem. Here is the answer to your question about changing email.

New Features
  • - Weather update frequency now includes "Manual".
    - Customisation (yes, we are Aussies so spell it with an 's'): Media Player - ok, a little techy at this stage, but you can now specify the path of your media player in the registry:
    • - In the key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Pointui\Home\{your version} (i.e. version = 1.01b) create a new String value called App.Path.Media
      - You can include in your path {Windows}, {Programs}, {ProgramFiles} which will get replaced with your device specific folders but if you do use them then don't start the path with a backslash
      - The path can be to a shortcut or exe, and include spaces, but don't use any quotes
      - An example value is: {Windows}\wmplayer.exe
      - You don't need to restart Home for this change to kick in
    - Customisation: Email account
    • - You can specify a store name in a String value called App.Email.StoreName
      - This will then launch to the specified inbox instead of Outlook mail
      - The store name is CASE SENSITIVE
      - It doesn't appear to break if you enter a dodgy store name - just doesn't do anything
      - Unread message count indicator will be count of TOTAL emails across all accounts
      - You NEED TO RESTART Home for this one to kick in
    - Customisation: Tasks and Calendar
    • - You can specify an alternative app for Tasks and Calendar using the registry keys App.Path.Tasks and App.Path.Calendar
      - If the alternative app requires command line args then you can supply them with the corresponding keys App.Path.Tasks.Args and App.Path.Calendar.Args
      - You don't need to restart Home for this change to kick in
    - Customisation: Phone
    • - To use an alternative dialer (or if your device has the problem of when you click the Phone icon it freezes for 8 seconds, then you can specify an alternative dialer (or any app really) using the registry key App.Path.Phone
      - You don't need to restart Home for this change to kick in
    - Customisation: Lock Screen
    • - To use an alternative lock screen application you can set the registry key App.Path.LockScreen. This should provide a workaround for Smartphone users who cannot get out of our lock screen.
      - You don't need to restart Home for this change to kick in
