Change default email address: a tough one?
- I have two email accounts in use. email 1 is my primary. All my calendar events have email1 in their 'send to' field. I would like to delete this account, and add another as the primary (email3 if you will).
1. What will happen to all my calendar events? Will they disappear? Be duplicated?
2. When I add email3, how do I make it defualt? Is there a way to put email3 in the 'send using' field of all my calendar events?
3. If there is a way to change the 'send using' field, will it screw up outlook sync?
IIRC when I first got the BB, I deleted the email the store setup for me, and put my email1 in. When I did this a bunch of my calendar events had the 'send to' field set to 'default'...
Confused.
Thanks,

However I sent an email the other day that went out under a different email. I checked the Default Services and it was still what I wanted it to be. Are there any other options that need to be checked?01-13-09 11:14 PMLike 0

I'll soon find out. Issue is often when I send a page address from a weppage I'm viewing... I'll accidentally send it from one of my obscure work emails and the recipient wonders who sent it to them...
Thanks for clarity "How-to" on the answer

worked every time. Granted I never sent a link from a web address.01-14-09 03:15 AMLike 0 -
Just did one test and it worked. I had always set the default per the instuctions Part 1 in your post, but on the part 2 portion I would see the emails listed but not actually go as far as clicking it. At least I don't think I did.
Crossing our t's and dotting our I's here with CB... Thanks AG... PvT

I suspect deleting email one, will set all calendar events to 'send using' to 'default'. Then when I sync to outlook, it will duplicate all those events with the 'send using' field set to what ever email is set in 'default services'... which means, I will have to do a one way sync from outlook to device. Icky.
~S01-14-09 07:32 AMLike 0 - okay AG,
so why didnt this work the first 4 times i tried it? i originally thought this was the answer, but when it didnt work i figured it was wrong. granted i didnt run thru all my email addresses and save a different one, then go back like i did this time, but i have switched it with one email before and it had no effect. and yes i saved.Last edited by chelseytx; 01-14-09 at 08:29 AM.

Syncing to outlook made a mess. Calendar events now appear once for 'default' and once for 'email3', even though they only appear once in outlook. There is now way delete all 'default' onces that I know of. Ahhh!
Is there a way to clear out my tasks/memos/calendar/contacts, so I can resync from outlook?
edit: I can do this using the backup->advanced in DM... if I hadn't forgot usb cable at home!
