I always do that exact thing after a restore. I guess it’s another thing to add to your next tutorial.

this error also in the same time will not allow to create new Email Accounts - on the iPhone.
It’s possible to create the account and also save the account on the iPhone but as soon the System Settings Mail Creation is closed then the account will disappear and lost.
May someone else has this problem so this is the cure for it.
