Can't change default contact list

[kellyjsox]

For some reason I can't figure out, my BlackBerry calendar (CICAL) and messaging (CMIME) both default to my primary email address, but my contact list (SYNC) defaults to a Gmail account I no longer use and have deleted from my device. I can't figure out why my contact list defaults to this account, which I didn't even have when I set up this device. Any ideas how I can change this? It wouldn't be a problem except that now when I put in a birthday or anniversary for a contact, it shows up on this entirely different calendar associated with an email I don't have any more.

I had this problem on my 4.5 os BlackBerry. It was populating certain appointments on my hotmail calendar which I didn't want to use. I forget how I solved it. Now, my default contact list (SYNC) shows my hotmail address and there are no others in the list. I've concluded that that one would be the only one available for syncing if I wanted to sync my contact list (and I don't). If I should want it to sync, there's a check-the-box option to do that in my BIS settings for the hotmail address. Did you check in your BIS settings to see if the gmail account is still there? Maybe you restored your device from an old backup that might have added the address and the sync setting? I wish I could remember the fix. I think it was something stupid like I had to delete the calendar service books for that address ...

I just did this this morning.

My problem was the ATT address book. the device was using the correct email, and calendar, but (my fault) using the ATT address book (I'll never do THAT again).

Here's what I did.
Cried and ranted. Oh, sorry, wrong story.
Let's start over.

Went on ATT website, log in, deactive account and delete device.
on device, MANUALLY delete EVERY address (ya, I know, I have almost 300)
uninstall and reinstall DM (so it doesn't remember)
using BBSAK, system read and install 8 bb.address book cods (i can send them to you if you don't have them)
reboot
on device, go into options, and set "default" address book
use BBSAK to delete 4 nabsync files
reboot
sync with DM

Hope that helps.
