I think I figured out my email acct. disappearing issue. I think it happens when I set up my email acct. before I run the provisioning .cab and then soft reset after that. I sometimes don't run provisioning till a while after having flashed, but I always set up email soon after having flashed. I just made the connection between the two this morning and have tested and out and that's what's going on. So nevermind about the ROM having the email issue, just be sure to run provisioning before you set up your email. Most probably do that anyway!
one less bug to worry about... whew!
