This might have been asked before, if so please pardon me. Long story short, The email that I created my Microsoft\live account has changed, the question is; how do I get my new account on my Windows Phone without having to do a hard reset and without loosing my apps, settings and so forth? Is this even possible or am I out of luck? Please advise. Thank you.

i had same problem however i was lucky only having the new wp8.1 phone for 2 days. so didnt have much on it so far... i had to hard reset.
next time you hard reset dont login with "Microsoft Account" login under "Other..." or "Advanced" with your hotmail email... becausae that "Microsoft account" is useless ****. it drains battery by constantly checking for new email. cause you only have one option which is " daily" at longest to check emails again. where on normal hotmail or google account you have " manual" check for emails.... and if you sign in using "Other..." or "Advanced..." with your hotmail account it will be same thing and you will be able to set "manual" "daily" "weekly" "1hour" so on... good luck bro ! back your stuff up to onedrive or something
That's what i was afraid of, I guess I will also have to sign up for a developers preview again with the new account and I will loose whatever games and or apps that I bought Why??????
There is only one way can change the default email id for the device without hard reset, through REGISTRY EDITOR.
Which is your device ?

OK... before someone berates me for "not searching"... let me say off the bat that I've searched both these forums and the Internet in general for the answer to the following, but haven't quite found the answer... so here goes.
I am a happy owner of a Kaiser (is there such a thing as a "happy" owner of a Kaiser? ), but I have one question that's been bugging me regarding the number of Pocket Outlook email accounts that I'm able to pull.
Currently I'm using the SEVEN software for direct-push of a couple of my MSN accounts and my hospital email account. I also have my ActiveSync-sync'ed Outlook main folder, and three other accounts, all of them external POP accounts.
Counting? That's seven accounts. Now, when I try to add another account to the SEVEN software's lineup, I get an error message saying I've reached the max number of accounts. BUT... when I to into PO directly, and try to add another account directly, the menu option for adding another account is NOT there...
Either way, it appears (correct me if I'm wrong) that Pocket Outlook (PO) is capped at 7 accounts total, and won't let you add any more.
Now, someone will undoubtedly say, "just use QMAIL" or something like that. But I tried QMAIL and I don't like how it operates. I've tried the FEW other external-to-Microsoft 3rd-party software out there and don't like any of them because of 1) they don't allow pushed mail properly, 2) they're too hard to set up, or 3) the GI sucks.
Since the registry is the golden-boy for practically everything, I was thinking that somewhere in the registry there has to be a "number of accounts" key... but I've searched as much as I can, and haven't found it.
What I'd like to know from anyone out there, is there a way to increase the maximum number of PO accounts, and what is the method for doing so (if it exists)?
Thanks for keeping awake for my tome...

Just as a quick update to my own question, I did knock out the email sync in ActiveSync, and the "New Account" option in the Tools menu came back -- but when clicked on, it gives me the following error:
"You have reached the maximum number of accounts. One account is reserved for Outlook. If you want to set up outlook to synchronize with an Exchange Server, click OK"
BTW, I'm using the stock ROM 1.62.502.0, de-ATT'd (you know, the hard-reset, then tap soft-reset button).

I don't believe there is a way to overcome this limit.

hi everyone, my question is how do I set-up a hotmail account,when I configure a mail account opens up IE or Opera and from there a access the mail account. With WM5 didn´t do that, I could access the mail account with in the phone without opening the browser.
When I press the mail funtion it doesn´t show the account I already set-up,in this case, hotmail, it shows it empty(no accounts)
any help with this?
thanks
i had problem with this also. Apparently you can only set up one hotmail account on your phone. If let say you deleted it by accident and try to re-add it will not work, instead it will go through the Windows Live website like you stated.
Only solution to fix this is a hard-reset

oo then maybe the owner did set an account before but removed it. If that is the case you will not be able to add a new hotmail account.
My suggestion to you is just do a hardreset, unless there are some things the old owner put in there you might want. If that is the case just plug the USB cable into your computer and copy and paste whatever you want from the phone to your comp as backup
I haven,t done the hard reset because there is no signs of anything being in the memory. When I go to mail function and add new account, I entered the hotmail account and password and then next and shows settings found for hotmail.com,then press next again and goes straight to the browser. I go back to the mail function and again is empty, no account added
Either hard reset or uninstall then reinstall windows live on your phone.

I can do that,but it will still opening mails trough the browser and not as a separate program like it did in WM5?
If you uninstall windows live and reinstall it, then it shouldnt open your mail in an internet browser anymore. Just make sure you have only one hotmail account. The first one will open in the application and if you add others, you will be redirected to the hotmail website.
I just did a hardreset because of touch screen problem. Then I saw this thread, and got my hotmail account working too!
I got the phone from BELL, brand new, but couldn't set up my hotmail accout. It was the same problem: directly go the browser!
Now I love my Diamond even better. It was my gameboy, now it is in business!
Hii.
It´s possible have 2 hotmail account´s on messages menu???
I can´t add 2 or more account´s.
Tankh´s.
i'm having some problems with the hotmail account, somethimes doesnt want to connect through wifi and opens a 3g connection instead..
hotmail fix...
the easiest way I've found is to simply use the "get xpress mail" function... may or may not work for all, but it is at least a 50-50 shot!

What's "get express mail" function?
Give me more details please.
Thanks
Microsoft's hotmail/live/msn support pop3 now.
U can simply use the outlook by setup a new count such as [email protected], and pop3 server as pop3.live.com(maybe, I don't rember), then change the mail address back to [email protected].
The second way is using windows live with messenger.
I access two hotmail accounts, just set as normal but it asks the first time for the address put [email protected], then it lets you setup pop3 and smtp else it detects the address as live and sends you to the browser. edit the address after and all should be ok. ps details here for pop3

I registered an account, but didn't receive an register email and I am unable to login. I performed a password reset, and that sent me an email that I had an account, but I still cannot login with the new password. Is there something going on?

I have the same problem. Can you check for an account 'loryndm'. I love your ROM and would like to assist in testing.
Email authentication has been changed to automatic, hopefully this will cut down any more issues

Unrevoked 3 Rooting Issues with my Droid Incredible.
I know it says to not post problems here but I am in desperate need of a solution...please help.
The company I work for uses Microsoft Exchange Server for our Email Service and before I rooted my Droid Incredible I was able to use the Exchange Activesync service on my phone to sync with my work's email without a problem.
Now that I rooted my phone I receive an error telling me I am unable to connect to the exchange server. I have already attempted to use "K-9 Email Client" and "Lockpicker" to see if I could connect. No luck... I believe the issue is with a missing certificate but I am not sure. I have already contacted my IT Department at my work which ended up being useless cause they are unaware of how to locate the certificate for our email service.
Anyways if anyone could shed some light on this please do...Thank you!
Also Facebook does not sync contacts, the live feed works fine.
I don't really mind this cause I'm using "FB Sync" to get my friends pictures but I do miss having all of Facebook contacts shown in my Contacts List.
Phone: HTC Incredible
Rom: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1

I already checked out the other suggested thread but I have other questions so I thought I might start another thread...
I've lost the password, as said in the title, because I'd changed countries once and had to change my phone.
Now I'm back and have absolutly no idea as to what my password was........
But I'd always failed to synch my phone's contacts with outlook
so if I hard reset I will lose all my contacts, the messages and the photos.
1. Is there a way to hack my way through the password?
2. Or, is there a way to back up the contacts without having to hard reset?
If there is no other way, then..
3. I am absolutely sure I'd put in a password hint to help me remember, and I'd seen the hint appear the second last time I tried typing the password,
but this time I just can't seem to find the hints. How can I find it?
of which kind of password are you talking about?
Posibilities to Backup Contacts, Calendar,....
1. You can setup a exchange server for a gmail account, so you can sync your data with your google account, or microsoft exchange server
2. You can install MyPhone and synch witch your live account.
Thanks for the reply!
Oops I didn't specify the type of password.. my bad. sorry.
It's the password to the X1 that appears when I start up the phone!
Since I lost the password, there's nothing I can do right now,
no syncs, no nothing... and the contacts and such in it are really important to me.
Do the solutions you suggested still work if the password I lost is the one that unlocks the phone during the start up of the xperia X1?
do you mean the password of the sim card?
or the password you can activate in winmo for security reasons?
But i think you cannot find out the password.
if it is the sim password maybe my solutions could work. when you imported the contacts to phone.
Hi,
I accidentally removed through web browser my Xiaomi Account without logging out from my phone.
Now when I go to Settings > Mi Account the phone asks for the password of the account that I deleted (see attached image)
If I try to login with my old Mi account information on my phone, I get a message saying that the account no longer exists and I have to create a new one. I created a brand new account but I cannot bind it to the phone.
I contacted Xiaomi service by email but I got no solution from it.
Could a phone factory reset wipe the old Mi account information and let me configure the phone again from scratch?
Please can you help me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Luigi

Sometimes you have to wait for the Xiaomi servers to be up to date.
Have you tried: forgot password?
Unfortunately old account deletion has already taken effect, I cannot do anything to recover or change old account information.

Try to reset the phone.
I've already tried to login on https://us.i.mi.com/ with my old account credential but I got the message "This account has been deleted. Create a new one". I created a new account with the same phone number but actually the phone is bounded to the deleted account and it seems there is no way on the phone to bind it to the new one.
I'm really frustrated about this awful account management by Xiaomi.

On this site you must connect with the new one since you have deleted the old one.
can you login with the new one?
If ok wait to reset the phone, otherwise you will find yourself in the same situation.
I followed your suggestions and I successfully set up the new account on the phone.
Really thank you very much for your help.
Luigi
How did you get it to work?
I'm in the same bind and apparently there's a few days left before the account is removed from their server yet they won't reinstate it. I may be running against the clock here.
I did create a new account but there is no way to add the phone to it and they warned against resetting the phone as it would lock it permanently!
I was doing more research and I remembered that I did delete my phone from the MI account through the website before I deleted the account itself. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Connect to the phone with your new account which must correspond with the phone number provided.https://us.i.mi.com/
If your new account is recent wait.
On condition that there are no others.
Thanks NOSS8, Just to be clear the phone still shows the old account connected to it and every time I try to enter the password it gives a "Server Error". So the question is do I need to reset the phone to get the old account off?

logout and try with the new account
Once more thank you for your help. BTW, I love your avatar it expresses exactly how I feel dealing with Xiaomi :-D
One thing I just realized that may be totally different from the experience of others, there's a notification that the account session has expired and I need to enter the password again. Unfortunately it's trying to access the old account that has been deleted. Since I can't log back in I can't logout either, to remove the old account.
At this point it seems I can keep using it this way and hope it doesn't suddenly decide the phone is stolen and lock me out or I can just reset and whatever happens... Worst case I'll switch to an iPhone
Shame though, it's a really nice phone and I like MIUI.
