Password retrieval from mail app - Huawei MediaPad M5 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi
I decided to get a M5 lite and try to see how it would be for me not having Google services. I do own a P30 pro and waiting to get the new p50 Pro. I even bought a P40 lite 5g but it's is on its way. Anyway back to the description of the problem.
I decided to remove all (or disable) the Google apps from the tab and I even made a new email account with outlook (M5 came with office apps installed and thought it would be OK to register them) instead of Gmail.
Day 2 I couldn't access the mail, verification email needed but sadly I forgot the password (I thought it was saved in the system). No luck. I try to retrieve it from Microsoft. No luck even there. It seems that I don't have to much info for the account to be retrieved.
It is really funny.
I gained access to mail app and my email (somehow from PowerPoint app communication using my phone and receiving a sms code to it, unlocking it) I can send and receive emails.
I am the owner and have total control of the email (single user, single device). I even registered to XDA with this email.
I send emails, communicated to Microsoft to see that I own it.
But for Microsoft it seems that I am not able to demonstrate that I am the owner (screenshot)
My question is
Can I retrieve my password that it is saved to the app (mail Huawei) ?
Other solutions to retrieve password?
I know that I can make another account but I don't want to.
Thanks for your input.

Hi to everyone. I would really be thankful if you can help me out here.
It is really incredible frustrating this thing.
I made an email with outlook.com for my Huawei mediapad m5 lite. Sadly I forgot (wrong written previous password?missspeling?)the password already from day one. I couldn't give more info or start 2 factor verification. This means that I have an account that I use regularly (send and receive emails to my tablet using the Huawei mail application) but I don't know the password.
This means that if I lose the tablet. If the application crashes och my tablet dies I lose the account and all the other info's and accounts linked to it.
Microsoft is really useless. Their algorithm for retrieval av forgotten password is totally useless if you are trying to retrieve for a brand new account (ex. Give previously used passwords - I don't have any!)
I contacted them by chat. They agree that it is strange but again they cannot help.
If someone can help me I would like to know.
Is it possible to find the password stored in My tablet?
When I add an email I am asked to login to Microsoft via their login page. Does that mean that the password is not saved in my tablet?
Can someone help?

After insisting on trying to get a verification of my email (I do managed to activate preinstalled office apps on the tablet and I even bought a subscription of 365 office premium - free trial that I cancelled after I got my password workin) it finally came and I can set my new password and activated 2 factors security etc. It now runs on my phone. Thumbs-up.
In case that someone had interest. Hope no one get to contact Ms for this. Great loss of energy to make something as easy as to change the password.

well, if you log in to the forums, they announced that the server is having problems today, you can send emails, but you can't recieve.
If this mail works as advertised, it would kick ass, since It support IMAP, I and can check outside emails too, I would centralize all emails there.
But I want it to be reliable, true, if it doesn't work, is not good.
Lets give it a test run.
If anyone finds problems please report them here. That way we will know if its worth keeping.

THanks a lot for ur help
Forwarded emails not received on host account
Hey vikramdhani,
If I understand you correctly, you have forwarded your emails from a POP3 account (Account 'X') to your mail2web account, where they are being received. However, your POP3 client can't retrieve emails for Account 'X' on the server.
Check to ensure that there is an option where you selected the forwarding address (there usually is) to forward emails while leaving a copy on the server. What's probably happening now is that the emails are being forwarded on and deleted locally, thus the POP3 client has nothing to retrieve.
Hope this helps.
Great news : mail2web.com has announced to have installed Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 even for mail2web Live

Can I reset the device without wiping the music??

Hi guys..as u all know, some friend deleted my 'wallpaper' folder...now I have some 10gb of music which obviously don't want to delete..at the same time, I want the cool wallpapers...
So if i factory reset my hd7 ...wwill I lose all my data???including msgs and contacts...??
Short answer, yes. It's essentially a wipe.
Long answer, sync it to Zune frist, essentially backing up your tunes on your PC.
Text Msgs, etc, are gone. Contacts should be synced to the cloud (gmail, live, exchange) and can be resynced after a wipe. I recommend a live account (hotmail, msn, live), as the integration is really tight.

Thanx a ton!!
I got the wallpapers luckily..was looking in the wrong section...but I have a question...You mentioned that the contacts will be synced with the Live account...where can I look for it??
I mean, on my Live ID, where do i search??
THanx again!
For me, I use Hotmail. When I log into the Inbox, I simply hover over Hotmail at the top, and a little dropdown appears allowing me to choose contacts.
Failing that, pretend you're going to write a new email and click the to: button to add contacts. Should show you what it has. However, it'll only show contacts that have email addresses that way, so you're likely to get better results using the first method.

Just check the Settings-->Email Accounts first to ensure you're even syncing contacts from your live account. For me, I'm only syncing email since I'm connected to Exchange.

Factory reset and hard reset do the same thing.

Can't share contacts. "Messenger failed to load attachment."

I am tearing my hair out over this. I use text messages to share contacts. Or at least I used to. This feature recently stopped working on my Nexus 6 (stock). To share, I select a Contact from Contacts, click the 3-dots, select Share and select Messenger. The moment I provide a contact to share to, I get the error message "Messenger failed to load attachment".
When I do a full factory reset, the feature works. But after it does the updates, I start getting the error. I have tried all the usual tricks like resetting app defaults, deleting app cache in both Contacts and Messenger. I even tried the factor reset option from Recovery instead of from Settings. Same result. Nothing seems to help. My wife has the same phone (only hers is the 32gb model and mine is 64gb) and she doesn't get the error.
Any ideas?
Phone is currently at Android 6.0.1, totally stock. The only thing I've done with Contacts is to use MyPhoneExplorer to sync them with Outlook. I even tried deleting the MPE Client after syncing and it still does it so I don't think it's MPE. (And my wife also runs MPE and hers is fine.)
Is this due to the Google messenger update? Mine just updated today which is odd since it says it updated 8/29

I tried uninstalling the Messenger updates to go back to factory version and that didn't cure the problem.
Just FYI...I got an update earlier this afternoon for the stock Google Messenger app. Just now I tested it myself and was able to forward my contact card from my personal mobile number to my work mobile number without any problems.
So, IMHO, any problems don't seem to be related to the update of the Google Messenger app.
I'm starting to isolate the problem down to Contacts, not Messenger. I'm not sure what's going on. When I deleted ALL Contacts and then just put in two contacts for testing, things worked fine. I'm beginning to think that SOMETHING in MyPhoneExplorer, which I used normally to sync Contacts with Outlook, is corrupting something in the Contacts database which is causing the error.

OK, I did some more testing and what I found is that if I synchronize my Contacts with Outlook using MyPhoneExplorer, those contacts cannot be shared via Messenger. It's as if there is something extra in them that screws up the vCard. If I sync Contacts ONLY with Google, they share via Messenger fine. That sux because I use MPE to do more than just Outlook syncing. It's really a great tool. I have posted this issue in the FJSoft forums (MPE maker).

Question contacts issue

My dad bought Redmi 9T. I synched his contacts (google account), but now when he opens the "phone" app, under contacts it shows emails as well. I tried looking how to hide contacts with emails, to see only contacts with phone numbers, but I don't see this option anywhere. Am I missing something here? Plz help!
Hia Yoco!
Your dad can go to contacts.google.com on his account, and filter those contacts there.
It's a manual task to clean up contacts, unless you use an app or tool dedicated for this.
There are some useful tips on how to avoid saving emails automatically on google, when mails are sent or replied to.
Read the second list item here.

Thank you for your reply
He won't know how to do any of above so it's on me to do it! Can I create a group and move contacts with emails?
Do you know of a good app for this?
So I manually moved all contacts without phone numbers into different group on contacts.google.com.
But after opening phone app (bottom left), in contacts tab, it's still showing contacts without phone numbers.

Is this phone app the default Xiaomi app, because it's really bad. I've never had so much problems with any phone before
Ahw I see! You could try to disable contacts sync under "accounts" in the phone settings (and make sure the sync is disabled before you continue) - then delete all contacts and/or clear the cache and data of the contacts application.
Then, attempt to re-sync the contacts again by enabling the contacts sync in the google account settings on android settings, and see if the grouping you did worked out. I am sadly not familiar with the phone in specific, but the contacts are fairly limited in terms of these features. If the problem is merging, contacts.google.com has this as well - it will suggest contacts to merge for you, if there are duplicates.
See in play store if there are better alternatives! It may help you a far way!
I tried as you said, but it didn't work. Even after I deleted all my contacts, on the phone app, all contacts are still visible.
