Inbox Unread messages

Hi..i'm wondering if anyone has the same problem as i'm facing right now. In inbox (whether if its an sms account or email), the draft and deleted items folders seem to show that there is unread messages but when i select it...all i see is blank.
The inbox and sent items r fine. I suppose my problem is that i am unable to view my unread messages.

Nope don't have that problem. Those folders show only unread items if there is one.
Installed e-mail related applications lately? Try uninstalling if that doesn't help then try it with a clean XDA (after a hard reset without installing applications) If it works with a clean device then one of your applications is causing the problem.

I supposed it must be one of the new programs i installed but i've already uninstalled those and yet it still is not showing.
i'm thinking maybe sprite backup is causing some trouble.. anyone else experience same problem as me?
example: inbox
Drafts: SMS 0 items, 5 unread
but on the screen its blank. That's my problem.
i think the image will show it better.[/img]

Missing SMS messages
I too am missing messages. THe XDA2 crashed so I used sprite backup to restore but since then today screen shows X unread messages but inbox hows none (counter at the bottom - shows X unread too!)

i forgot to mention that i'm using sprite version 3.0.1 build 1676

I'm also using Sprite Backup but have no problem restoring messages.
Using Sprite Backup V3.0.0 b 1517

No doubt I'm getting the wrong picture here....but isn't that picture showing the Drafts folder?

no,you're not wrong. it is the draft folder because currently the only places that have unread messages is the draft and the deleted messages which have unread messages. Haven't got an unread message yet in my inbox which i guesss i should try but i htink it will be the same problem

Have you checked both sms and pop3 folders?

Solution
Hi
I had the same problem, (unread items in deleted folder when actually the folder was empty) the solution is below:
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/Unread.html
Remember to follow instructions exactly.
1)Dowload the software dbview
2) copy to pocketpc
3) run it from pocketpc
4) goto pmailfolders
5) In the bottom window scroll right (if you cant find the scrollbar likeme just use the right key to scroll)
6) u will see deleted items. select this row
7) scroll more until you find the number that corresponds to your unread number
8) got menu and delete record. It will ask to delete all selected records. confirm this
9)exit program.
10) PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!
All credits to the original poster .

It was a little bit difficult, because there where 3 Sent-Items and only the SMS database was corrupt.
It you scroll to the right there will be a reference to fldr***.
If you then scroll in the upper window until the see the database fldr****, you can see the headers and the number of files.
If you found the correct one, go back to pmailFolders and delete the correct one.
For the first time my 3th!! T-Mobile Compact seems to work completely (at least if it doesn't need a softreboot).

Using WM6 on HTC Hermes i can't open fldr**** databases. I only get MSN db!

Turn off outgoing text message notification?

Does anyone know how to turn off the outgoing text message notification without having to turn off all notifications in settings?

turning it off!
yeah its actually really simple. it does require u to download a program called pocket toolman. which is also easy to get I found mine at
freewarepocketpc.net
once u download it, and if u can download it straight from ur mogul as a .cab it'll b easy as well. run the cab file and save it to ur device. once u do that u should be able to find it in your program files. clicking it will make it appear in the bottom toolbar as a small computer. open it, then open tools, then os tweaks. click next till u see an option to turn off message notifications. it'll require a soft reset bt then after ur done! enjoy. it also allows other tweaks to the phone which are helpful.

Cool, thanks a lot, I'll check it out! Seems like such a simple thing that should have been included from the get go.

Registry Tweak
If you are comfortable doing registry edits this will stop notifications for outgoing text messages.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\SMS
Change "Delivery Ack" from 1 to 0
Now go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
Once on 'Inbox', start a new 'key' and name it "Settings" when done, click on your new key Settings
Now you should be on HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Start a new 'Dword' and name it "SMSNoSentMsg" with the 'Value Data' of "1″.
Works like a champ.

Setting default folder for opening messages, and removing Outlook E-mail!

Hello.
Firstly, is there a way to set the messaging program (WM5 standard) so that it always goes to the same folder (i.e. text messages, rather than e-mail)?
Secondly, is there a way to get rid of the bloody Outlook e-mail account??? i never set it up, i just set up my Bt Mail account.
Cheers

Don't know if this helps but try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368812
This works for WM6 WM6.1 confirmed but some people are reporting loss of sms receiving tone. Although I personally didn't. But can't confirm for WM5.
Also at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc
There is a default key called "Default" (LOL) It's value on mine is pop3 if you change this to read as one of the other folders in this directory it should open which ever one you name it.
For example: At this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc you have say 5 folders (imap, pop3, SMS, MMS and Activesync) change the name of the default keys value to the folders name (SMS) and it should now be default after a soft reset.
The "Activesync" folder is the "Outlook" Account.
Hope this helps..

SMS Deletion

Can anyone tell me how to move read SMS into the Deleted folder? After choosing the Delete option they seem to get completely deleted, rather than being put in the Deleted folder. Is this normal? Even when going via the "All Messages" tab, the option of Move isn't available. I would like to be able to clear the Touch Flow message screen but edit the Deleted folder later.
Thanks.

True, the messages get completely deleted if deleting using touchflo. My method (to get deleted messages to deleted folder) is by going to "All messages" - SMS/MMS Inbox - Menu (bottom right) - delete. This should send the message to the "deleted folder".

Thanks, You've solved the problem!

But be careful, by default only 50 messages are kept in the "deleted" folder, so you might lose messages that way. You can increase this value with a tool like advanced config...
To keep the manilla sms page clean i created an "archive" folder where i move all old messages, so none get deleted and the sms page only shows the newest ones...

How did you create the extra folder? I have tried to do this but Manage Folders option in Tools is "greyed" out on mine. Might not be a problem as I've just noticed that I currently have 51 items in Deleted folder! Might not have a limit on my version but would still like to make additional folders.

How come on my version, there is NO "Extras" selection. There is no "Manage Folder" either.

This is how I worked around. Edit registry to disable chat mode.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Set SMSavailable=”0″ to disable chat mode (default is "1" = enabled)
Restart.
Go to "All Messages"
Menu - Tools - Manage Folders - menu driven from there.
Now you can move messages to the newly created folder including "Sent" messages. However I am not sure about the storage capacity allowed.

Method above is no good. It also kills the incoming SMS (sound) notification.
Follow this one. I've tested and works fine.

¿Sms folders?

His! ...
I restored the backup (contacts and sms), but the problem is that not all the sms has been restored, as have many sms in folders previously created a Touch PRO WM6.1.
I tried to edit the registry as previously HKLM / Software / Microsoft / Inbox and create KEY "OEM" and a DWORD value 1 SMSInboxThreadingDisabled, but I still do not see any option to create folders.
Does anyone know how to create new folders to save sms?
Thanks and regards

I wanted to create additional SMS folders, and get back sent SMS notifications.
I installed this and got them both back.
It changes the SMS back to the MS one instead of the HTC one.
Be aware that this stops you sending MMS messages though.
Cheers.
