How to change the username associated with a Windows Mobile 6 device

I was just asked how to change the username that is associated with Mobile Outlook on a Windows Mobile 6 device and was surprised that you couldn’t just edit the connection and do that. It took me a bit of digging, but here is the process to do that on my HTC 5800 (works on a HTC S720, same device), I haven’t tested it on anything else:
To change the username you need to delete the Exchange sync relationship on the device (cant sync to two exchange mailboxes at the same time). Open ActiveSync then:
Menu>Options>Menu>Delete
You get an Alert message, click Yes and your sync relationship will be deleted. Once that is done you can follow the steps above to create a new one (associate with a new username).
