From unkonwn reason I cannot see or access my SMS inbox. When I go into my inbox, I am able to see only the Active Sync inbox, the SMS inbox has gone away.
Any ideas how to show it again?
your sms inbox database & ou active synch database are deleted, the possible reasons for that are either you restored from a backup file where your inbox was not included or you used the Database view program & accedently removed it, in both cases & to my knowledge you have to hard reset & restore from a backup you did

Hi,
after getting my XDAIIi back from having the screen replaced I had to restore my last backup.
I now have two old email's in the inbox of the Outlook Email account in the messaging application which were obviously unread messages when that backup was created via ActiveSync.
Any ideas how I can get rid of them? I can click and highlight them but even though the option to delete the message(s) is shown when I choose 'delete' or 'move' nothing happens to the message.
Many thanks
i have a similar problem, the emails can't be read, deleted, or moved, and it has nothing to do with restoring (as the only restoring i've done was part of Sin's ROM build process for WM2003SE on the XDAII).
these emails that are unmoveable/readable/deletable i used to be able to read, like a couple of days ago i could.
before i recently hard reset the device, i had the same problem with some sms's in my sms inbox and sent folder.
very strange and annoying, as a hard reset appears to be the only way to get rid of them.
Not sure if anyone runs this but its a great add-in in outlook which syncs your sms messages. whats even better is after a hard reset, you simply copy the SMS back to device.
My question is that once you do this ... by this i mean sync after a master reset, every message is "unread" on the device.
I have at present 1046 sms in inbox and to select it all and mark as read infact crashes the phone
further to that, it takes a long time to select all as there is no function to do this.
is there any easy way or am i doing something wrong?
PS: do not re-sync if your msgs are unread on deviec because it will duplicate on your outlook. I had over 4000 msgs because of this but luckily i managed to delete all "unread" msgs as a rule in outlook so i saved time going through each one.
thanks,
I just re-flashed the ROM of my Wizard and used Sprite Backup to restore my SMS messages. Everything works great. But...
Now I have on the Messaging Today Plugin an old e-mail account showing with unread messages. This e-mail account is not installed on either the Wizard or my desktop I used for syncing. I can highlight it on the Today Screen but when I click it doesn't go anywhere.
I've search entire registry and deleted all instances of the e-mail account and/or account name. I've even tried creating a new account with the same name (it doesn't let me as it says its a duplicate). Either way...everyting I tried has yet to solve it.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
When you don't have any precious mail in there, you can use for example SKTools 3's mail database cleanup utility to clean up these databases completely.
Menneisyys,
Thanks for getting back to me. I've tried what you have suggested. First backup the entire phone again. Then did the following:
1) Deleted all e-mail accounts in PIM
2) Deleted all registry entries with any information linked to e-mail account name or account's e-mail address
3) Ran SKTools' Messaging cleaner and deleted all files
4) Ran SKTools' Databases cleaner and emptied all fldr* files that aren't matched to SMS messages. I was unable to delete any of them. It would just say "1 process" but when it re-scans it will still show as 356 bytes.
5) Ran SKTools' Delete PIM info and emptied all MSG for all e-mail accounts. Once again I was unable to delete any of them. it would just reduce them to Zero bytes.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Probably not very helpful now but if they are POP email accounts you are supposed to delete them before the backup as they cannot be restored to a new ROM or Device.
Hi all.
I don't use sms often but tomorrow i need to send one... and i discover that i don't have anymore the SMS folder into pocket outlook
I never receive either sms or mms (i try to send me a sms from another cell but i don't received).
Now pocket outlook show only 3 type of element in main screen.
- Outlook
- GMail
- New account
Only Outlook and GMail in the folder tree...
I've a tytn with wm6 ...
P.s.: i've tried some software (hoping something change...) but nothing happen:
htcp3600-NWW_Italy_Setup.zip
mailAccountRepair.zip
PPCPimBackupV2.8_wm2005.zip
SpbPhoneSuite_it.arm.cab
WebISToolbox_Setup.exe
I don't need to recover sms or mail... can i reset pocket outlook or reinstall it ?
I had my MMS dissappear... had to hard reset to get it back
SOB. There isn't a software or patch for repair pocket outlook sms/mms repository ?
Can i replicate some working (empty) outlook filesystem or file structure ?
all i could find was do a hard reset...
what about erasing cemail.vol ?
i'm trying but nothing... the file is locked and i don't understand what process is locking it (using TaskMgr). No one "unlock it" for WM6 ?
I've just installed dbviewSP for navigate in cemail.vol and i see folder and messages... but no "remove database" o "remove record" work.
I have just got a new hd2 through my insurance and synched with google to get my contacts back. However I also need to synch with my work exchange to get my appointments. Rather than have 2 synchs - I just used google to save my contacts - I removed the google synch. however this means my contacts dissapear.
Is there any way to keep my contacts on the handset without maintaining the sych?
Cheers

oops if a mod can change the title to have "synching issues with contacts" that would be delightful.

click 'edit post', then 'go advanced', then you can edit the title.
first, i am assuming you are using windows mobile.
second, what i understand is that you want to sync only with your work place server and you somehow need to have your contacts as well.
one option could be to merge your contacts with your work place server.
also, try this...sync with google to get your contacts downloaded back to your device. then use "pimbackup" to back up your contacts to a file on your sd card. then remove the google synch. now, set up your work place synch. finally, restore the pimbackup of contacts you made earlier.
i'm not sure how your work place server would behave now that your device will suddenly have all of these contacts restored from your backup. the partnership MIGHT cause your contacts to merge into your work place server automatically, which could be a good thing because then you would have everything on one server to sync with.
cheers I will try pimbackup.
I want to keep my personal / works stuff (contacts) separate, however I want my appointments on my work calender. I refuse to use my minutes for work lol.
so I only synch contacts on google and calender on exchange.
@ASCIIker
synch google, pim backup, remove synch, pimrestore worked.
Cheers
that pimbackup is a GEM of an app!
highly recommended for those that want to stick with windows mobile. i used to have it automatically back up (to my sd card) all my contacts, call logs, and sms messages every 3 days. i had set the process to take place at midnight every 3 days and the whole operation (300 call logs, 300+ contacts, and 7000+ sms messages) would take a meager 1.5 minutes on the HD2!!! restoring was just as fast, except for sms messages (because sms message restore triggers "re-threading" of conversation threads).
on android, setting up the device with a google account handles contacts. an app called "sms backup and restore" handles sms backups (have it set to 3 days here as well). but have found NO app on android that neatly backs up and restores call logs, let alone all THREE items (call logs, contacts, and sms messages)!
