Getting rid of orphaned email account

Hi!

I have deleted an email account on my 6630, but something went wrong. The mailbox which I deleted still shows up under "Messages" and I am reminded that I have 211 unread messages when I switch on the phone.

My problem is: That mailbox does not show up under Messages -> Options -> Email anymore.

So I think I am probably down to editing some config files using FExplorer. Now does anyone know what files to look for and delete to get rid of these?

I have done a backup of the phone and searched the .NBU file in a hex editor for some strings. I found them in the file c:\data\cbs\cbtopicsmsgs.dat. But I cannot delete that file.

Interesting enough, I have done a trick to rename it, which seemed to work. It got got created again when I booted the phone, now being much smaller. But I still cannot delete the renamed file and I still get that "211 unread messages" when I boot the phone.

This starts to look like Vodoo to me.

Anyone any ideas?

Regards,
Torsten

Same problem - can't delete orphaned email account

Hello,

Has there been any response to this? The same exact thing happened to me when I added my gmail account.

I have the same problem - after using "Mobile Mail". Very annoying. Well similar...

Under "Messaging" I see "Mobile Mail", but the ICOn is a question mark.
Under options/settings/email/mailboxes this account is not listed.
The mobile mail software is no longer installed
I can not delete messages in this account either.

Still hunting on how to remove the account definition.
