Hi all - I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this small problem. O2 replaced my faulty Stellar (the battery wasn't charging).
I created a full backup using SPB backup beforehand and used it to restore all the data to the new Stellar. Here's the query:
Although 100.0% of the data transferred, my email account (called 'Steve') isn't showing up. I know it's there because SKTools can see its database, (and if I use a separate PIM backup utility it copies over the OLD 'Steve' account) but it's just not visible in Pocket Outloook.
Not a mjaor problem as I easily recreated the account using a different name. It's a niggle really as to WHY it's not showing. There's also some emails in that account that I need, but there doesn't seem to be any way of getting at them.
ooo err!

Am guessing that the emails and folders contained in the pop(?) account were backed up but not the registry entries that told the device about the account itself.
Since I've got some problems with disappearing E-mail accounts on my E-Ten M700, I've always used a small tool called Mail Account Repair.
I attached it. Maybe it helps.
Missing email accounts
Yes, the registry was my first thoughts too! but SPB is supposed to backup everything isn't it?
Thanks for the mail-tool. I'll try it out as soon as I get into the office tomorrow
Cheers for the quick replies guys!

Hi all,
For some reason, my TF3D-screen does not show my Outlook emails (the envelopes) anymore, although my emails are still in sync (when I look with outlook, everything's fine).
Instead the screen says: "geen accounts" (Dutch for "No accounts").
Even stranger: TF3D shows when new emails have arrived (the green number in the envelope on the bottom of the screen), so it knows of the existence of my outlook email.
I already tried adding an extra account (gmail), switch to that account and back, as well as some soft resets, but so far nothing works.
Anyone any idea?
Thanks,
Dagmar
i think one of your manila (TF3D) files is corrupted or demaged.
try:

..Hi all,
have the same problem after using Sprite Backup Tool. Any Ideas?
Does Sprite Backup cause the problem?
Hi all,
I am experiencing exactly the same problem and right - it started immediately after installing Sprite Backup. Uninstalling Sprite did not solve the problem, though, nor did re-installing Manila. Any ideas other that a hard reset would really be appreciated...
I have the same problem and it was also sprite looks like this app does not backup but rather destroys your phone.... what a mess it also messed up the other menus aswell,
any one know how to get everything back to normal?

i have the same problem too , for some reason my mail wont show on TFL3D, and wont even sync no more even when im connected to wifi or 3G data
Does someone know the registry key where HTC stores the information about the mail accounts?
I used the registry editor, but the "find"- function does not seem to work yet.. :-(
thanks
outlook envelop no more visible

same problem here any idea?
This keeps happening once i install sprite, does anyone have a fix for this or know how to get the email to display back in Touchflo? I do not want to reset the phone it takes too long to restore, and without a backup makes it even harder,
please advise...

Same for me. I have 2 accounts in Messaging: Outlook (Exchange Server) and Gmail. Both accounts sync fine in Messaging app, but now only Gmail shows in TF3D. Tried to remove and recreate the Outlook account, but it didn't help.
I also have Sprite Backup, but I did not have to restore anything before the problem started.
i noticed when using PIM backup, that by default it removes what you backup!
can be changed in options
may be the problem? (havent used Sprite Backup)
Hi Guys,
I managed to get the Outlook Envelope back after flashing (same version) my Diamond. It was a headache trying to figure out the source of the disappearance.
Cheers...
Me again - another annoying thing is that there is also no more possibility to get a working ActiveSync-Connection via Bluetooth if you delete the pairing information (ActiveSync Partnership). The Option to add a Com Port to the Device is gone.
Now i will hard-reset my diamond and never use that creepy little s**t of Sprite Backup Software again.
Is there a way to fix this without a hard reset???
I am having this same problem. I use wireless sync. I get the notifier at the bottom of the screen with the number of new messages, but they do not show up in the envelope in Touch Flo...if I go to menu accounts, the messages are there.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
same problem on TP...
anyone find a solution to this?
I am still looking for a solution, too.
Bump. Im in the same boat. Anyone have any ideas?
This happened to me before and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I later realized it was due to Sprite Backup. The backup somehow did not complete or restart properly. Unfortunately, I really can't remember what I did. I think I may have just restarted Sprite Backup and there was some kind of error stating what happened, which it performed a soft reset on the device itself. After the soft reset, everything was fine.
I am using a Treo 800w.
Just flashed the new dutty from old 6.1 and restored my messages with Sprite Backup. Only problem is now I have 6 unread email messages in accounts that are not setup on the phone. I can not create the accounts due to "The account name entered is already assigned to another account." messages when I try to make them, and they do not appear in the list of accounts in Messaging. Any way I can fix this by deleting the registry entries or whatever is telling the phone that the accounts exist? Home keeps telling me I have 6 new emails.
this might help

Nuclear option
For people who are annoyed by the phantom accounts that can appear after restoring from a backup like Sprite backup there is always the nuclear option. I was wondering where all the extra Hotmail accounts were coming from on my Manila2d Mail tab. After reading this and other threads I discovered that they would have come back courtesy of the cemail.vol file from a backup. I couldn't get the mail repair application to restore the phantom accounts and the little application at the Sprite website didn't seem to work either.
Here's the strategy that worked for me:
1. Do a full backup of your phone with Spriteback up except for the mail ie make sure the top level mail checkbox is unchecked.
2. Do a backup (using PIMBackup or similar) of just your SMS messages.
3. Hard reset your phone.
4. Restore from the backup in step 1 and your phone should be restored but with no email accounts.
5. Restore your SMS from the backup in step 2. If you had threaded SMS enabled on your phone you will need to kill tmail.exe and disable threading before the restore. After the restore kill tmail.exe and re-enable. If you don't do this it messes up the inbox completely.
6. Manually set up your email accounts again.
It's a bit of a bore to do all this and not a particularly nice solution but it does work.
Cheers,

hi, I'm trying to fix it with this program. but it says repair failed?
any more ideas?
thanks
I have noticed this issue for awhile now. If i make a change to a contact on my phone it never gets pushed to GMail. Has anyone else noticed this? I have made sure Contacts was checked in Data Synchronization, i have even made changes, unchecked it then rechecked it and watched it sync. But those changes never make it to Google's servers. I know it worked in RC33 but i don't think it has worked since.
I do a lot of flashing and constantly keep losing new contacts or updates because of this. Its kind of a pain in the arse to remember what and who i changed in my contacts to update when i am at a machine.
Anyone?
Well you can buy mybackup pro and backup your contacts...But make sure you uncheck syncing of contacts in the data/synchronization settings. Never ran into that problem before.
you can try force-updating.
after you make a change, go to settings>data syncronization, uncheck and then check again the "Contacts" field, it will force a sync.
You should consider moving to a cupcake build already too, if only for the camera
Same deal
I have been having problems trying to sync up my contacts too. Everything is correct and the way that I want it on my phone and I want to push those updates to Google, but it constantly fails. Sometimes it fails with an little exclamation point next to the sync icon and sometimes it doesn't. I have tried it on both my rooted and unrooted g1 and I still have no luck even though I switch the sim card. I use mybackup pro and have been for a while but the file output format is nothing that can be uploaded to google (ie csv file) so I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas as to why the sync fails? My only thought is that Google refuses to sync because I am trying to sync a large number of contacts on my phone, with a very small number of contacts on google servers. Xmarks (formerly foxmarks) for Firefox does the same thing, it won't allow you to sync a large amount of information one way without giving you a popup message so your away of it just in case you don't realize that you are overwriting data. Maybe Google servers are similar only without the warning message?
My contacts NEVER sychronized with Google. Gmail works fine, MyMaps also synchronize but contacts and calendar never. And I don't even have these options in Data Synchronization menu (only Auto-synk and Gmail). Any ideea how I can fix this?
Thank you!
My setup is:
work laptop, xp / outlook 2007
home vista / outlook 2007
work phone: nokia E71
enjoying: my tilt
The thing is, I recently started flashing, oh yes
I used pimbackup, myphone, and even googlesync, to have all of my data (contacts and calendar) available in all of the above mentioned devices, and failed miserably.
Deletions, duplicates, you name it, I had it...
I started reading, I mean really reading the forum, and I'm still doing it, but so far no luck.
Does anyone has an idea what would be the smartest way to ensure all of my data safe and synced in all of the above mentioned devices?
Or, please overlook my noobness, and just point me in the direction of the right thread?
TIA

bump
anybody outhere?
what I would do is this. DELETE all your contacts from your phone and your Outlook contacts. Then delete all your SMS. Hide your SIM contacts. Then use Pim Backup. Then after it restores everything you will have one copy. Then resync with your comp and store all the new info to your comp. Ideally PIM Backup is best used only for storing SMS, let active sync do the rest. Just in case let pim backup store all your contacts, but when restoring only select to restore SMS so you dont have duplicate contacts.
thank you, I'll give it a try.
