Device(s): MDA Vario III (Kaiser)

So, I recently needed to wipe my Kaiser, but of course did a backup using sprite backup first to take my data with me. Now in a way the most important bit of data I needed to get out of the back up were the SMS (I use Gmail so I planned to just have it resync through IMAP), and other than that, my My Docs and Personal Databases I've been reinstalling everything. However, I've hit a problem with my emails...

My texts have been restored perfectly, however my gmail account is not listed. Initially I though that that was fine, however it turns out that the phone still thinks that the account is set up, even though it's not listed in the Accounts page. Furthermore, SPB Mobile Shell lists it as an available account in the messaging tab, though clicking on it only takes me back to the Account Chooser.

What I want to do is delete all the existing email settings that are hiding on the phone and then re-download my email from Gmail, however I don't know where the account data and settings are stored. I tried deleting the contents of \windows\messaging\ but that didn't seem to change anything...

Any suggestions?

Easily solved

Run the program on your phone included in the rar here and it should "unhide" your missing email account

often happens after a backup atleast used to
