Please help with email setup

[seti007]

I recently bought a touch pro from bestbuy but started to have problems and ended up swapping it for a brand new touch pro. I made a backup of the old phone using sprite backup. On the old phone, I had 2 email accounts namely gmail and yahoo.
After I installed the (full) backup on the new phone, everything worked with the exception of the email. On the "mail" field I can still see the little mail icons on the right but none of the settings are there. I cant even remove these to start over since the settings do not exist. If i hit "inbox" it takes me to the field where I can add a new email account. If I try to add say a google account, it warns that I already have an account by that name. Does anyone know how I can remove the icons and the settings/accounts and add new email accounts. where are these settings stored (which folders?0
Thanks a lot
