    And on newer HTC devices like the Fuze, you can swipe left or right!
  • @Bucho:

    Pressing the mail button also cycles through the accounts.

    You should probably qualify that. My Motorla Q9m has a "mail button" but that does not move through the accounts; it just goes to the main Messaging window. The d-pad does move through accounts, though. (It also doesn't work on my WM 5 iPAQ hx2795 Pocket PC.)

    Maybe your tip only works on WM Professional devices.

    @Gil:

    Here's a shorter tip:

    To switch between different E-mails, click on the right / left D-Pad button.

    Or, if you're a Hitchhiker's Guide fan, a shorter one:

    Don't panic!

    I didn't know this would work either, but I have a better question... how can I switch between different hotmail/live mail accounts in winodws mobile 5, or can it be done? I am using flexmail. I know I can set a different msn account as the live account but then you have to wait for it to load all of the folders for that account. Is there a simple/ fast solution to this?

    In response to Bambi Blue, I am one of those people. So simple and I missed it o_O
  • Dude, you have no idea how many people didn't know they could do it!

    :P

    Pressing the mail button also cycles through the accounts. I prefer that one.
