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?
hi, i am also having this problem did anyone find a solution for this. any replys greatly appreciated

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!

Sms Contact select

Hi,
Is there a way to send an sms to all contacts?
Also how do you select multipe contacts for messaging - do you really have to do one contact at a time as I have been doing, or can you "mark" multiple contacts?
Cheers.

In the list of Recipient type the contacts following bij a semicolon.
for example:
contact1; contact2; contact3 etc

Hi, same thing here. Do you get a "check names" option in the forward message opiton box that doesn't do anything? Is there any way of adding a check box to the contacts menu? Would be nice. I've searched the whole forum and can't find any answers. Search brings up no matches either.
Thanks.

I dont know about 'all', but multiples are easy, just keep clicking the To button and selecting your contacts from the contactlist (one at a time).. A checkbox would have been neater tho.

Try google for Group SMS. It lets you list your contacts by category, and checkbox those you wish to SMS to.

I'm sure I had that one. If anyone finds it, please post a link.
I have catagories set up, why can't I just text a catagory and it messages them all..

Eaglesteve! Searched as you said and installed Groupsms. Works great.
Cheers and thank you.

Bulk Delete Emails

One thing that annoyed me about the iphone was having to delete every individual email to clear the inbox. Then, you'd have to go into the trash folder and start manually deleting them from there too. WM was great for this, you'd just hit "clear inbox" and they would all dissappear. hurrah!
Android/hero seems to have copied the stupid iphone method. or... am i missing something? is there a better way to delete items from the inbox?

In the Mail app, press the menu button and select delete. Then you are able to select multiple messages to delete in one go

Yeah, thats what i'm refering too. If you had 50 emails you'd have to tap each one individually to delete it.

No, you don't.
When you are in the screen to select which messages you want to delete, click Menu again. It will give you the options to Mark all or Unmark All. This way you can delete ALL messages in one go. Remember that the Menu button changes screen over screen, many hidden functionality is there

Navigating E-Mails

Done a search but didn't come up with much, so apologies if it's been asked before.
Is there an option/reg hack that means you can select e-mails in an inbox without opening them? With the lack of directional buttons and touch only, I can't navigate to an e-mail that I just want to delete rather than read.
Any tips?
Thanks
Tim

While you are in inbox, open the right soft menu & in select messages option select several.
Now, select messages you want to delete & keeping over any one of selected messages click & hold.
Now you get an option to delete the messages you have selected.

A2017G - Select all email

In the Email app I cannot find a way to select all the messages, but I have to select them one by one (for example if I want to empty the deleted mail). Is there an alternative way?
Thank you

You can clear all of the messages in one section. For example Trash. If you go to Trash and swipe down just a little you'll see two buttons, Clear and Edit. I have no idea what Edit does but Clear deletes all the messages
