Hey all,
I have a problem, and hoping to find an answer here!
I have my hotmail account. My account got hacked, so I used a GREAT password and 2 step verification trough MS authenticator app. So far so good. Beside the fact that I have lost my password and decided to go back to my stock rom, wiping all internal in the proces with no backup (yeah I know, it was stupid af).
So now I cannot login to my Hotmail account. Luckily for me, before I did that I have linked that account to my gmail account using Gmailify. So the email password is somewhere there. I have acces to my gmail, so that is no problem.
Anyone have any idea how to pull that password out of Gmail (or Gmailify for that matter)?
So to be clear, I can acces gmail with no problem, it's just my MS account, which fortunately is linked to it...
Thanks in advance, you're all awesome.

I may sound kinda stupid but If I am not wrong but This isn't the forum to ask such things.But you can retrieve your password using the gmail account by clicking forget password on the hotmail login page.But You already messed that up so you need to ask this at some Hotmail help forum or maybe gmail.

EDIT: first problem solved, so need to figure out if deleting the first email address from the phone will automatically give me the option to sync calender with the other gmail address
EDIT 2: tried deleting old gmail address so that I would only have the new one on the phone. it wont let me delete the old gmail address without doing a factory reset. I dont want to do a factory reset, so anyone know how to either delete the old gmail address, or be able to sync the calendar from new gmail address as described below?
Need help with 2 things:
First:
So I have 2 gmail accounts. One ive had ever since i got first android phone a year ago. 90% of my contacts are synced with this email address and phone, problem is that I dont really use this email address anymore. the other I created a couple of months ago and primarly use, but only a few contacts are synced with this email address.
So, how do I transfer all my contacts to the 2nd gmail address so I can get rid of the first? I have tried in gmail, but I must be doing something wrong...
Second:
This is kind of related to the first. I want to use my google calander for the second gmail address I have. but when i go into accounts and sync, it only gives me the choice to sync the calander from the first/old gmail address. There is not option to sync calander with the newer gmail address I really use. So either how do I sync the second gmail address, or per first question above, how do i transfer contacts from old to new gmail so i can delete the old account off of my phone, as im assuming if the newer gmail address is the only one on my phone it will give me the option to sync calendar????
sorry this is long, but it has been bugging me for a while
anyone? should i have posted this in general?
nevermind. figured it out
Gmail contacts transfer
You can export all contacts as CVS I think - from google mail (from your PC) ...
and then Import the CVS file you created on the second gmail
hey guys,
is there a way I could log-out/sign-out of my gmail account in the GMAIL app? there only seems to be an option for adding/remove accounts.
I want to be able to read my emails offline, like now. But only sync when i''m logged in. Right now it seems like i'm always logged in, and there is no way to log out. A bit concerned because if my phone gets stolen or in the wrong hands, my gmail account and other accounts linked to my gmail account (facebook etc) could be compromised! lol
hope someone could help? cheers!

Cannot be logged out. You should set a screen lock PIN or pattern. That will make it a lot harder to get access to your accounts.
If your phone does get stolen, the first thing you should do is change all linked passwords immediately, even if the site/app lets you log off. Also if you're prone to letting people manhandle your phone without you present, better get a screen lock
You can't sign out of Gmail. But you can connect to Gmail using hte Email app as an IMAP/POP server instead, and just don't save the password.
But logging out of your gmail account on an android phone kinda defeats the point surely? It's the total integration via Google that I love!
I actually use App Protector Pro to make sure people don't get in my apps. No worries on my side
Hello,
I ONCE set up the hotmail account in the rezound using the built in mail app and choose hotmail. Needless to say i regret that. Verizonwireless sent me an email telling me that my account was set up successfully... WTF
That email account cannot be deleted without doing a factory reset.
Since i updated my ROM and when I go to set up new email accounts, it still finds this account again WTF
it says:
" we found existing email accounts Restore them by tapping on any account or tap add new "
I have looked high and lo to find out how this account is being memorized, but cannot.
Anyone know hot to delete this from re-appearing
thank you in advance
Hi all,
I have set up my hotmail account on my Samsung S3 however, when I delete an email on my phone I do not want it deleted from the Hotmail server. Is there an option to do this or is it just tough
Thanks
No takers?

You set it on the Hotmail account itself. Log in from a desktop computer and go into POP3 settings - you should be able to find a setting in there that allows you to decide whether to delete emails from the server when they're deleted from the device.
Mmmm thanks for the reply but I have tried that. Seems once you delete them from the S3 they are deleted from Hotmail also. On most other devices there is an option to stop deletion from the server.
Any other help?
Depends what sort of account you've set up on the phone. If it's POP3, the method I've described above will work - however if you're using Exchange / Activesync, since that sort of account is direct sync, there is no option to leave mail on the server when you delete from the device as far as I know.
That's the one. Thanks chap. Now I've done it I am not sure I prefer the POP3 setup BUT at least I have the option.
Hello. I forgot my gmail password and i cant reset my password i sent a lot of mail to google but i didint get any answer. I couldnt find Sms reset section. i have galaxy s3 and registered my phone for google.
