Database Users

SMS inbox disappeared

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

Jeyo Outlook Sync

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,

Odd Email problem

I have the T-Mobile MDA Vario II (Windows Mobile 5). My problem arises when open Outlook E-mail. I can see the headers from my new mail. When I click on a message I see the animation (as if Outlook is going to open the email) but no email appears and the "header list" is still in sight.
The same problem with Hotmail and other mail-account, but NOT with textmessages and MMS.
Also I cannot create new mail anymore (not from "new" in outlook, but also not from contacts=>email=>select account.
Does anyone know a solution or is someone struggeling with the same problem?

looks as your PIM database (aka message store/storage) is corrupt.
there are ways to work around it, all involve losing messages.
firstly, backup the device.
secondly, you may want to delete database pMailfolders using sktools databases browser,
or you may want to hard reset and restore from backup EXCLUDING mail.
Note that relation with your Exchange account (if you are using Activesync DirectPush) has to be reestablished, just delete marriage and set it up again.

Thank you for your reply. I bought SKTools to do the job for me (hopefully).
Is deleting the contents of the database enough? Or do I have to delete the whole Pmailfolders database?

My topaz doesn't recognize phonenumbers in contact

Hi,
I have a problem with my topaz, i recently deleted all of my contacts and syncronized via activesync all contacts to the phone again. My problem is every time i recieve a call or sms, the sms in Touchflo 3D doesn't recognize the number as being from one of my contacts.
Funny thing is, i can go into the contact and view the SMS history from there, and then it finds the sms.
I hope somebody can help me.
I use a standard Windows Mobile 6.1

i guess, probably you have duplicate contacts during the sync. try to find the contacts was not recongized from incoming call if this is duplicated. hope this helps!

I had the same problem and managed to fix it..
1. open file explorer and go to root(internal memory)
2. rename pim.vol to xxxxxx.vol (all your contacts and calendar entries are saved to this file)
3. now all your contacts and calendar entries should have gone..now resync with activesync
4. softreset..and all should work fine (at least it worked out for me)
hope this helps..

Wow. Thanks. I had this problem too.

So did it work?

Outlook in WM - sending emails from Outlook Account

Hi Everybody,
I recently got TP2 rhodium. The 1st WM system for me.
I tried to use Outlook in a "natural" way but I found some simple things I can't do.
Explain.
I have 3 accounts in my phone:
- "Outlook", which is synced with my company PC via ActiveSync.
- A "work account", that I use to receive and send emails using my company ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
- A "personal account", that I use to receive and send emails using my personal ISP (i.e. [email protected]) when I am away.
Everything works: Outlook sync, work send-receive emails, personal send-receive emails.
The most simple thing I expect I can do is:
1) I sync Outlook via Activesync. So I get an updated copy of my pc inbox/outbox in my TP2. Including emails I didn't read yet.
2) I go away, get in the inbox of my phone outlook account and read emails. There's one I need to reply immediately!
3) I reply to that email, but...
the reply goes into the outgoing box but it remains there. It will be sent the next time I'll sync, but it will be next week.
I didn't find a way to use one of the 2 other accounts to send that email from inside the "outlook account". It's a reply, so I have to write it inside that account.
The most natural thing would be:
- an option in the "from" field allowing me to use one of the two accounts
- send the email
- watch it going in the outbox of my "outlook account", so that it will be synced the next time.
in addition,
if I send an email from my "work account", it will go into its outbox, but I cannot move it to the "outlook account" outbox, so that it can't be synced when I connect to my pc!!
I suppose many people encountered the same problem.
I tried to search, but I couldn't find any.
Anyone can address me to a solution?
I thank you all in advance.

Hi..
Thats what i did in the past.. i sync emails so that i know which ones i need to reply... but found it a hassle at times...
why not try using pop3 directly? Jus save a copy of emails on server.... i pop as and when i need... but only my outlook in laptop downloads emails.. i find it better in sense i have contorl when i use outlook.. but thats jus me and my 2cents..

Hi chuachongchee,
I hope I'll find a straight way for you and for me to do what I mean.
I can't believe it is not possible to do such an elementary thing with an almost 600€ gear and a WM at its 6th release!!! And such a cool design !!
Do outlook mobile developers ever work away from their pc?
I am not good in WM software "handling", but a lot of people is, and I am sure someone has already solved this issue.
Just hope I'll find one...

hi asamax,
Just confirming that I have a similar problem that would be solved if I could change the "From" field in the outgoing message (as with your problem).
I also have done a lot of searching and found nothing yet.
I have found that its possible to write "plugin" apps for
tmail (aka Outlook mail for WM) but found none that allow the change of the "From" field - annoying!

Don't mind,
I am sure this will be solved.
Such simple change + Such evident miss.
Please skilled-xda-developers write an outlook hacked rev. allowing:
- choose the account in the email "from" field
- copy/move emails between different accounts folders
- some additional options for each accounts would be useful: default c/c and hidden c/c recipients.
the 3rd in the list allowed me to solve this issue in my old Nokia E70 (!!).
I just put a rule for incoming mail in my PC outlook: when I receive a mail in whic i am in hidden c/c AND in the from fields, move it in the sent items folder. But it was not a very clean way... I expect more from my brand new rhodium!!!
