Have you found a solution to your problem, i.e. one SMS can't be opened, or deleted.

Appreciate if you can share your solution, if you found one.

A Possible Solution
This is how I got rid of such a message, without doing a hard reset.
Step 1: Backup (This step is not strictly necessary, but a good precaution. It served me.)
I used PIM Backup v2.8 (Messages only), a nice and free backup program you can download from this forum. Thank you, dotfred.

I also export all Databases with SKTools to a XML file. This way I could find out where the message is stored.
Step 2: Install and run dbviewsp.zip
I found it here

Thank you, Kenny Goers.
Step 3: Determine the right database (or folder)
Substep 3.1: Before
Switch to dbViewsp.
I presume the e-mail and text messages (SMS) are in the \cemail.vol database.
Note the number of records in each folder. Select the folders one by one and choose "Properties" from the "Menu".
Substep 3.2: "Backup" normal messages
Switch to Pocket Outlook.
Create a new temporary folder and move all "normal" e-mails or text messages of the original folder to the new one.
Notice the number of normal messages you have moved in the new folder.
Notice the number of undeletable messages you have left in the original folder.
Substep 3.3: After
Repeat Substep 3.1. You will notice two differences. The temporary folder you have created and the old one, that will now contain just a few records.
Step 4: Delete records.
You can delete these by selecting them and choosing "Delete Record" from the "Menu".
Step 5: Restore
Switch to Pocket Outlook.
Move all messages from the new temporary folder back to the original folder. Delete the new temporary folder.
That's it. It looks a lot, but it is less trouble than a hard reset.
History:
I tried Menu -> Tools -> Clear "Text Messages" in Pocket Outlook. This deletes all sent and received messages, even the ones I moved to the temporary folder except the "undeletable" ones!
I also tried a plugin InboxExtender.CAB and a little program cleanmail.zip, but both did not work.
Many many many Thanks, I had that same problem. One SMS that had no Sender neither subject. The only thing i did was eliminate (with that software) one record and VOILÁ...
I salute you from Portugal
Once more, many thanks.
I too had a [no subject] [no sender] SMS that had shown up in my Inbox that I couldn't delete and it was keeping me from being able to backup/sync my SMS messages with my PC.
Used WC's method above to move the messages into a temp folder, then delete the database record for the Inbox database and move the good messages back.
Worked like a charm!
Many Thanks!!
Works like a charm! Thanks!
Thanks a million, WC

Does anyone know how to save recieved sms messages?
Normally the messages are being saved in the 'inbox' folder. Is there any possibility to save (a couple of) messages in another (self created) folder so you won't see it in the inbox anymore?
I have some folders under "Inbox" created in my previous Trinity. When i started using my HD i retrieved my backup of SMS and then I retrieved the folders. Well, I can move received SMS to a Subfolder using a verya strnge way: first I must delete the message, but not from the Touch Flo, I must enter in the Inbox (down-left option). After deleted, i go to the deleted folder and THEN I cna move it to my subfolder. But I can´t create a new subfolder at all
Hmmm. there has to be an easier way to do this!
Check this thread.
