Hi.

My MFE sync stopped working and I could not even "Edit Account" to delete it.

I have used rm -R to remove
//var/lib/gconf/apps
modest directory all items and activesync directory all items
//MyDocs/Apps
modest directory all items and activesync directory all items
//home/user/.qmf/qmailstore.db
and also all Modest / Activesync and mail items in that location.

I now have no email accounts at all, which was the plan. But somewhere in the "add new account wizard" there is a flag set which it thinks I still have a MFE account, so will not give me the option to create a new one.

Anyone know where such a flag is to be found?

If I try to use a backup RESTORE from a time when MFE was working, I get the account reinstalled but still cannot use it or edit it.

I tried to do a backup from my working OLD N900 and RESTORE that to the DAILY N900. But the result was the same, the email accounts al get added but the MFE one still doesnt work and cannot be edited or deleted.

The Activesync button has corrupted text, like if you delete used locales, but it is the only one affected, so perhaps there is a deeper issue. But it was all working and I have done nothing with the device when it stopped working.

I was at the point of reflashing, but I "upgraded" to windows 10 earlier this year. I found that reflashing with windows 10 is not likely to work. So the reflash will be more involved as I need to run it on a linux machine (I have that, so not a show stopper), but it motived me to try a more aggressive solution first on the phone.

Especially when I remember I have to reflash, install community SSU, then work out how to update the certs again, sort out RootFS space and yet not delete too much, and before all that work out what are the current depositories which work. Then try to get Mobile maps working again and also unlock the openoffice stuff... its all here, but so many threads and so much out of date info to sift through.. :-)

Any other things that are related to MFE and Activesync that might have become corrupted i should try?

Appreciate any pointers
