1. Delete /home/user/.activesync directory. I suppose, because of error 1) you
may need root privileges to do that. It can be done from x-terminal with the
command:
rm -r /home/user/.activesync

2. Delete activesync database. The first sync after reboot will take everything
from Exchange server again. Close email application before it. It can be done
from x-terminal application with the command:
rm -r /home/user/.qmf

3. Reboot the device.
4. Start sync if it doesn't start automatically. It can take quite a long time.
5. After the sync has been completed, run email application. If you don't see
folders, close and open it once again. It will re-read them from database.
6. Don't use that backup any more. It would be better to create a new one after
the sync has been completed.
I am having a similar but slightly different problem to this.

Our IT people changed over the Zimbra server and now my Mfe account has to run without a domain name in the credentials. When I changed the credentials Mfe stopped sending but would receive. So I did a full credential reset and deleted .activesync and .qmf files but now Mfe starts initialising but drops off the server and fails to sync. I notice that even after removing .qmf and .activesync that on opening email my n900 begins to show the Mfe account then it disappears.

According to our IT people they have other Nokias (eg E71) running OK so they say it is not the Zimbra server set up.

Is there another file somewhere that I need to delete to get a complete clean reinstall of the credentials? Could it be something else?

Thankyou.

PS. After some experimenting I tried setting sync with no email and it successfully achieved Initialising Synchronisation and synced Calendar and Tasks but dropped out on Contacts.
