Hi All - For reasons that I won't bore you with, I had to restore all my messages from a backup (using Sprite Backup).
The restore didn't work 100% and got stuck at the 'patching emails' bit.
Anyway, I rebooted the XDA and it looked and behaved mostly fine. However I have a text message 'stuck' in the draft folder which if I delete it normally, crashes the program. When I look in the draft folder there's nothing there (but the folder says there's '1 unread'). Additionally, I've got emails sitting in the sent folder that when I click on them to view them, nothing happens
Also when I sync my emails, it ALWAYS says 640 unresolved items no matter how many times I sync the PDA
If I use the 'clear messages' option in pocket outlook - it looks like it clears all the data, but the bogus draft text message and around dozen 'sent' emails refuse to be deleted
I guess what I need is a 'better' way to delete the data. I've looked in the database section on XDAIIi, but I can't see a database for the text messages them selves
Can anyone help - this is driving me nuts!!! :evil:

Hello,
I've searched the board several times since months and haven't found a solution to my problem yet.
My problem is as follows:
I have my Wizard (O2 Germany, so Xda mini S) since february (in fact it is the third one, O2 support changed it two times because the stylus didn't lock anymore after few weeks of use... have to change it again...).
And few months ago, I tried Sprite Backup, what I am using since then. Although it worked well, one thing is annoying: sometimes after hard reset and restore of only my mail database (cemail.vol, the only thing I really need to be backed up), the Messaging app doesn't show mail accounts anymore, but when I try to create new ones with the same names, it says, that the accounts already exist. So I created new accounts with different names, as many other users did, how I could read here. They co-exist and take memory.
Interesting thing: the Spb Diary messaging program can see the old accounts, and so it is also possible to delete the messages, that are still there in the old accounts. It can take a long time and many clicks (taps), because you can delete only one message at once, but it is better than nothing. One problem persists: Spb Diary can't delete the accounts themselves.
Therefore I am searching for a way to extract only my SMS messages (eMail is not important, I have it all on PC), start with an empty mail database (hard reset) and restore only the SMS messages into that new database.
The only program I have found so far, that really looked well for the first moment, is Jeyo Mobile Extender (or Companion). It backups the SMS Messages to PC, but not all of them. Messages in subfolders are ignored (I have subfolders for delivery notifications, call missed notifications and so on). And the restore doesn't work as expected. The date of the messages gets messed up, long messages (>160 charactes) get cut, and even the sender/receiver of the messages can get flipped.
But it must be possible to write a program, that fits my needs, I think (by the way: what is going on with the developers of WM2005? Backing up messages from mobile device to desktop is ESSENTIAL!!! Why isn't such a feature included?).
And because I am sure that I am not the only one with this problems hoping for a solution, I could imagine that someone already has written such a tool.
So, please, if anyone knows a tool or a different solution (editing mail database, removing everything except SMS messages...), PLEASE, help me!
Thank you very much in advance!
Yeaa im also really looking for a soultion to this, i Recently got a Windows Mobile device and i really wanna just be able to transfer my Series 60 Messages in Text format now.. to my Pocket PC's Messaging.
I can't believe nobody has made an app to backup and restore SMS's despite the growing number of people who need just sucha an app.
Except for Kai's, I don't think there is anything out there that does the job.
I hope SPB includes an option in the future to backup specific accounts only, because it is by far the best messaging backup app I have used till date.

jeyo has. works fine
jeyo is crappy piece of ****. better than nothing, but doesn't back up all messages, no self-created subfolders, no dupe-check, shows error message on ppc on every connect...
you will find out, when it is most important to you, believe me!
Hi,
I've got an SMS in my outbox that keeps resending .. I can't delete it, or move it to another folder. It's really starting to annoy me as, not only was it 10 messages long, it's addresses to my Ex, which is absolutely thrilling. If anyone can help, PLEASE do .. otherwise, feel free to laugh at my stupidly silly predicament (Would you want a 10-message long sms to keep resending to your ex every 5mins??!)
Thanks
I hope some people can use this. I use ppcpimbackup to backup my messages. PPCpim doesnt backup your outbox folder, but whem you restore the backup, it deletes the whole messages database, so, backup, and then restore fixed my problem and emptyd my inbox
My wife's phone (HTC Kaiser/Tilt) has had this problem a few times. The first time it was a message to me and it sent every few minutes for days. The only way I've been able to solve it is by clearing out all the emails on the phone (inbox, outbox, etc).
Another time it wouldn't sync with the mailbox, that was due to a ton of messages on the account it was linked to. I think I solved that problem by clearing out the remote inbox using the web interface, and also clearing out the local inbox on the phone.
The mail client just doesn't seem to be too stable. I don't use it, I just use the web interface to get my mail, via Opera.

tried that and it didnt work.
Here is my stats:
Cingular 8525
Windows Mobile 5 (out of the box, no upgrades)
I was using Pocket MSN to get my hotmail and use it pretty frequently.
But every so often I would send someone a SMS and they would tell me that it had a bunch of extra text. I ask what text and they would read it and it would be text from hotmail emails!
I would check my "sent" SMS folder and didn't see it.
I looked at the phone of the person who got the message and it had my SMS on top but the continued with text from a hotmail email.
I search the forums and saw where someone else had the problem but no solution was offered.
Please help!
Can anyone corroborate that this is accurate?
All my contacts are in Outlook, I should be safe when I hard reset.
Thanks!
it happened to me on my wizard with wm5. i think it is a corrupted cemail.vol file. i tried every which way to delete it, but it would not go away. even tried loading backups of the whole phone and it seemed to help for a couple of weeks but it would do it again. only thing that finally worked was a hard reset unfortunately.
...and if you look at the sent texts it won't show what hotmail was attached to it but if you use jeyo mobile companion to look at the texts it will show it. go figure
In the last few days I have noticed that the emails that were on my HD Mini and have been looked at once, have disappeared when I go back to view them again. I checked in the deleted folder (not easy for as far as I can see this can only be done by expanding an existing email, clicking on Menu so that it shows "inbox" at the top left, and selecting "Deleted" "Sent" etc.- surely there is an easier way!). Anyway, as I'd lost all my emails, I had to wait for another to arrive to do the above. Nothing in Deleted Folder. Went to MS Outlook on my PC and checked there - not there either. Went to Virginmedia webmail - all still there!
Just witnessed what triggers this phenomenom - went to check for new emails, there were my old emails in the inbox, hit send/receive, there they were- GONE!
Anyone out there any ideas what may be causing this?
Afraid I have no idea why this happens but I have the same thing with googlemail. Could it be some sort of feature to de-clutter the inbox and speed things up?
This may have been covered before but the last one i could find was 2009.
What is the best way of sending your txt message conversation to an email, or have my PC back it up.
Thanks,
Crude but effective, is to tap and drag over the entire conversation to select it, then tap and hold and select Copy from the pop-up menu.
Paste it into a new email message and send it, or paste it into Pocket Word and save it. Copy it to your PC through ActiveSync.
To do this programmatically requires negotiating the POOM interface which is a bit of a pig at the best of times.
Thanks. Are there any programs these days that would allow me to interface my txt messages with outlook? I know there use to be but that was a couple years ago.
There is Microsoft's Outlook Add-In but that is only for pushing out SMS messages from Outlook on your PC, there is no way to go the other way.

I believe Jeyo's Extender may be able to do it. It can be downloaded as a 15 day trial version, but is $20 for the full product.

I've never used it so can't really say much about it.

I am not the original author of this program, it was created by computerjunkie. He graciously posted the source code when he stopped development, so I picked up where he left off. The original thread can be found here.
Cloud SMS Backup reads your SMS account and backs up the conversations by emailing them to an account of your choice. You can have them sent as separate emails each containing one of your conversations, or have all your conversations zipped up into one email. It also gives the options to empty your SMS account after backing up to prevent the slowdowns of having too many messages.
