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?

any solution?

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!

Please, help. SMS problems

All operator settings are correct. I can send SMS and they are delivered, but (problem #1) outgoing SMS are not stored in the folder "Outbox".
Then, I can't receieve any SMS (#2). Actually, I do receive them, but the only way to learn about that is to keep looking on the screen, because when the device is turned off it will turn on for awhile and that's all. Messages are not even stored in device, so I can't read any of them.
Concerning e-mail: similar problems but not the same. I do not receive notification message or any sound. But incoming e-mails are stored and standart outlook says "x unread messages" or something like that. Outgoing mails are not stored either.
What I tried to solve these problem:
1. made a Backup - removed ALL installed programs = didn't help.
2. hard reset - everything works fine - restore Backup - sucks again...
I'm a newbie user of such kind of devices and a little bit desperate at the moment, so I would appreciate any help.
Thanks beforehand.

First ragarding the SENT ITEM, in OPTION you must enable this option
in SMS go to TOOLS then Option and put a check mark under "save a copy of sent messages in the sent item folder" (or something like this, I'm just translating French to English)
Second: after your hard reset, install your programs one at the time, and see if this still work.
Do not use your backup.
So you can see what program is interfering with the SMS fonction
And you can then eliminate the program that mess with your SMS
Hope that help

Can't clear unread SMS counter

I have 2 unread SMS showing in the slide2unlock screen and on the SPB shell icon. I deleted ALL of the SMS messages (drafts, outbox, etc. too). Yet still it shows 2 unread. I have threaded SMS installed. Is there a way to clear the unread messages?

I had that problem as well with threaded sms, even though i had gone into the program and read the texts the htc home plugin and the threaded sms today plugin still told me I had 3 sms messages waiting for me. I couldn't get rid of it until the next day someone else texted me, then the popup notification window came up telling me I had 4 texts, I clicked the option "save as read" (or maybe it was dismiss) and they all went away, see if you can get someone to text you and try that maybe?

Tried that....didn't help

I've had this happen too. I fixed it by uninstalling the threaded SMS application, then when I went into the stock SMS app, I saw an unread text message that the threaded app didn't know about. I think it has to do with installing the threaded SMS application when you have one or more unread texts. Who knows. Anyway, delete it, reinstall, and that should fix it.

there should still be a way to access the default text messaging folder even if you have threaded sms installed, too bad that option doesn't seem to be included (that i've seen) with any threaded progs I've seen yet. Hopefully the uninstall works for you.

my problem is a little different.
i am using the default messaging app and it tells me I have one unread message.
i have selected ALL messages and set to "mark all as unread". at this point it shows "126 messages, 127 unread".
anyone know how i can fix this....?
Thanks

I resolved the problem by uninstalling Threaded SMS. I saw the 2 unread messages, deleted them, then re-installed Threaded SMS.

I have the same problem on my Kaiser (wm6 htc shipped). I'm using default messaging app and it happens on HTC Home plugin and in msg app in "Select account" screen and on folder change screen (counter shows "1" next to "Inbox" even if i delete all messages from all folders)
It doesn't happen on SPB Diary plugin (here counter works ok) and also when I don't have any new messages, there isn't any "notification"/"new msg icon" on wm top bar (next to the Start button).
I know it is not Kaiser forum and this thread is little bit old, but I was looking for some fix across all xda-dev site and the only one thread i found is this.
If someone knows how to fix my problem (without making Hard Reset) it would be great

The only way I have been able to fix unread count since I am operating the OEM 6.1 threaded sms is to open up reg editor HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
Then change from SMSAvailable from 1 to 0, Close out the reg editor and select messages then go through and read the text message that is in bold(has not been read).
After this go back into reg editor adn go back to above value and change back from 0 to 1 and should be back in business. I may have to do this once a month due to a hung message. this always fixes it. Not sure if this will work for the folks using Cody's Threaded. I believe that it will, due to making the messages show up under the normal messaging folder.
Let me know if this works for you...it always works for me.

Search for "fixunreadcount".

I don't understand well english,but think that this file can help you...
extract file in ppc and execute it.

I am having HTC Touch(GSM) 128MB ROM & 64 MB SDRAM UNLOCKED(originall bought from UK, having Orange Connection). Recently I was fidling my device with phm registry editor, and some how what happend I dont know, But now the new sms counter which displays on the home screen tabs is not incrementing. If any new sms comes the counter remains '0'. Can ANY ONE please help. One more thing is there any ROM update for my set?

I have had this issue again in the last two days after flashing Ark_N's latest ROM for TP2.
What I have done just now is tap on the sms icon/button, tapped "all messages" text that appeared after tapping the sms icon/button, tap "menu", selected "settings", selected "traditional mode", scrolled down the messages till I came to a text message that was unread (bold type), read it by selecting it.
After that, I selected the "menu" button, selected "settings", then "conversation mode", "back", and pressed the "home" button (hardware button). And guess what? the issue was gone.
Hope this helps.

1 Unread SMS - Annoying me....

My girlfriend sent me a text and some how i deleted all my messages from her before reading it. Now it has the 1 Unread SMS thing on my screen constantly. Ive tried a soft reset. But it just wont go.
Any ideas?
Thanks

whinge. haha nah, hard reset perhaps?

I really dont wanna have to do that, ill lose everything

try receiving a new one :m
or try doing a backup with ppcpimbackup and then restore the message overwriting all the existing ones.

Happens to me sometimes. Just tap on the "1 unread message", it will open "Messaging", then the message will disappear.

Lol you crazy? Make a backup of something that isn't working anymore to use it after a hardreset so that the problem is back there?
@liam08, try SmsImport which you can find here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-smsimport-v1-0-1.html
Perhaps it will get you back some msgs, I'm sure it's worth a try. Otherwise you could try to wipe the messages using the built-in function of poutlook.

Same happened to me. I have solved in this way:
- disable threaded SMS from advanced config or xperiatweak
- reboot
- delete unreaded message (in non-threaded view you'll surely view the message in the "big" list...)
- re-enable threaded SMS
- reboot

¿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.
