Clear email counters after restore?

I have restored a sprite backup of my Tilt to a different/replacement Tilt (WSOD was beyond fixing).
The email accounts do not transfer according to sprite because they are hardware ID linked. However, the email counter still shows unread emails from the time of the backup and I cannot find anywhere in the registry or in application data/etc. to do this.
Does anyone know how to clear these email counters and rid the device of the knowledge of the prior POP email accounts that are buried somewhere but not accessible in outlook?
Thanks

I am having the same problem after I did a restore. Anyone know how to fix this?

I found the registry entry that fixes this:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread
Just change the value to 0 and you're done!

Actually, this doesn't work. It will reset the counter to zero, but after you receive the first email, the counter goes back to the previous total.
It looks like the problem for me is that after I did a restore, one of my email accounts didn't show up, but the unread email counter still shows the unread emails that were in the account. If I try to recreate the account in messaging, it tells me it is a duplicate name even though it is not showing up.
Any suggestions?

I solved my issue by hardresetting and doing an advanced/custom restore excluding email. All email accounts except exchange need to be re-entered either way.

I solved my problem by using the attached program to fix my email account show it showed up again. After I read the unread emails, the counter was back to zero.

I was having similar problems and really appreciate you putting this program on the thread. It worked like a charm.

Unable to create new email account on Kaiser.

I open up my messaging, click on create new email account so I could setup my gmail and it jumps into my Outlook email inbox. Now I will tell you I'm running Schaps 4.31, radio doesn't matter. It has worked before.
What I did was I use Mobipush (.com) It allows me to setup my gmail account via PUSH on activesync. Could that be causing the problem. I have threaded SMS installed on my phone. Don't want to start uninstalling and re-installing for no reason. I was thinking maybe a corrupt file in the system. Any ideas?

Email account/setting storage

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.

Removing email account from the mail tab?

I uninstalled sprint picture mail (wasn't cooked into my rom) but the account still exists in the email tab of T3D. I couldn't find where tflo stores these settings. Any ideas?

Is this email account set to sync in ActiveSync (mobile device manager)? If it is, remove the check mark next to it on your computer, and re-sync. I don't know anything about sprint picture mail, but that's the solution to this problem with regular exchange/pop3 email accounts.

Thanks for the reply , but I do not have outlook installed so I never active sync. I just noticed I posted in the wrong forum. Sorry

I too have the same problem. not just tf3d either it does it on my kaiser using manilla 2d too. If I use sprite backup and than restore I have 2 gmail accounts and 2 yahoo accounts it even prompts me when im setting up my account that the "account name has already been taken" so it must be saving this information somewhere I looked through the registry to no avail maybe herg or someone knows the answer.

Sktools removed it ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412035

Email Accounts Issue

I was in the process of setting up an email account, stopped the process halfway through, but successfully added two email accounts.
Both TF3D and Titanium show 3 email accounts, but I can't delete the phantom one. Here are some screens. Any suggestion on how to remove the phantom one?
Anything in the registry?

I had a similiar problem when I tried to create a link to my work's email account. When i bombed out, I tried to delete it and it simply would not delete. I found no solution other than hard reset. Good thing I have a memory card in the phone with all my non-windows mobile-store apps and i backed up to microsoft my-phone

the phantom email account is Hotmail??
