Removing Outlook E-mail from list

[fatlard]

Does anyone know how to remove Outlook E-mail from the mail accounts?

I have this issue also, after trying one setting for sync/push email it put this account in that just sits there and can't be removed. Help.

+1, also note that if you sync your hotmail account you cant delete it...it will download all your hotmail msn messenger contacts to your phonebook if you have the setting checked and then you'll have a lot of unwanted msn contacts on your phone book. If you delete them from here they get deleted off your msn msgr as well. Don't ask how I know this...

Well I dont know how to delete a hotmail account but to take off your outlook account aqll you have to do is...

-In activesync delete the partnership between your phone and the PC (phone cant be pluged in)
- Then plug in your phone and when you make your partnership now dont tic the email option and it will be gone.

Would you mind explaining this in a more detail? I've never used ActiveSync on my PC because it never seemed to work properly (I don't have Outlook and don't want it). The phantom Outlook acct. only appeared after I fiddled with the "Microsoft Direct Push" setting under the Settings/Communications Manager. When I saw it wasn't something I needed I turned it back off and the phantom Outlook account is still there.

Same crap happened to me...I have 3 email accounts and with the outlook phantom one...it pushes one off the screen.
Is there a way to re-order them so that the outlook account is on the bottom?

Ive never gotten the phantom outlook account so I cant help you there

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

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
