Try doing a reset.
I have tried that and i get it back but when i restore my backup i lose it again
I would say that your mailbox is corrupt and as soon as the today plugin for the messages tries to open it to see if there are any unread messages, it wil crash.
The same happens to your messaging software.
I would make a new backup without the mailbox (no idea how to do that) and then do a reset - or - I would try to delete the INBOXxyz folders on your storage card. You have one for each account. Just try to delete like one at a time. With luck you find out the one with teh corrupt messages.
Good luck!
Cheers,

Only recently got my T-Mobile branded Vario direct from them brand new and I've noticed that after I perform a soft reset all my messages, regardless of whether they have been read or not, get wiped.
I've checked Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox and Sent Items folders and they are all empty! I can absolutely assure you that I did not delete any of the messages myself.
Thinking that I might of had some conflict with another piece of sofware I had installed I decided to perform a hard reset and get everything set back to T-Mobile factory defaults. After all the Extended-Rom branding stuff got installed I decided to leave the phone exactly as it was, no tweaking of any settings, no installing any extra apps, no active-syncing, no nothing - a fresh factory reset!
Then, I sent another text message to the Vario. It arrived and after I read it and confirmed that it was indeed in the Text Message Inbox folder I quit out of the message app and perform a soft reset. Guess what happened after it restarted? Yep, the text message has miraculously disappeared
Anybody else seen this happen?
Anyone care to comment? Please reply even if your text msgs DON'T get wiped as I'd like to find out whether it's normal or not.
not got a T-mobile ROM, i'm using the O2 one (and now the updated version) and have never lost text messages from a soft reset (only a hard reset)
Sry i cant help further
just started happening to me and i been using the 2.17 rom.. i noticed this yesterday it deleted like 5 msgs but i got my other ones there so i was like WTFD?
I've just had this on a Universal (Orange M5000) with the latest Orange ROMs.
Prior to this, I suddenly had days and days of delivery notifications come flooding in, although this may have been an issue with either Orange or another network provider.
hi for me its not the txt messages but all new files that is created on the sd card gets deleted an all deleted files reappears after a soft reset
m really bugged
if ne 1 knows whats the problem pls help me
thanks
Loosing SMs messages.
If you have received a SMS message and soft reset before closing POutlook then I have found that you do loose the message.
By closing, I mean really closing it - not just pucsing the X button.
Likewise if you have deleted a message or moved it then the message(s) come back.
It seems to be that POutlook doesn't commit the changes to it's database until you close the app - or switch accounts.

That certainly seems to be the case with me, I was having trouble syncing with activesync, just dying each time I tried so in the end I hit the soft reset, I'm fairly certain that I still had outlook running at that point.
Actually, thinking about it, there were two batches of sms msgs, and I did end task on outlook after the first, so I can maybe understand that the second lot could be lost, but not the first?
Is there any way of validating the system databases?
The problem that I was having, disappearing SMS msgs, seems to have gone away and everything is still intact now even after multiple soft resets.
In case anyone else gets this strange behaviour, I can indeed confirm that POutlook.exe was indeed closed as I had also double checked the running programs list * to ensure no other processes were open that could conflict.
( * Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory ->Running Programs )
bbut also make sure tmail.exe is closed to.. get memmaid ull be suprised at all whats running.. the best thing to do is to use SmartSKey and make that close ur txt message app completelty!
poutlook.exe tmail.exe and sMSNserver.exe/pMSNserver.exe ...if these are open chances are ur sms/mms may be wiped after a soft-reset i make sure to sync my phone to pc and use jeyo outlook companion b4 a soft-reset
after i finished sending an SMS, the deliver receipt comes back but at the same time the phone hangs suddenly (i found it hangs frequently, when multiple applications running simultaneously)
so i did a soft reset, boot back, and see an empty message showing as the 1st one in the Message tab... (like attachment, no name, no content)
it just wont go away, even if i received new messages it stays.
if i select Menu->Reply, it behaves composing new message
if i select Menu->Delete, nothing happens.
the Menu-Forward option is gone.
any ideas?
the topic's a bit confusing...
i should say just one of the SMS is totally empty..
i doubt that it's caused by SMSDRFix..
anyone experienced similar problem before?

What is SMSDRFix??
Hi there. Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am experiencing exactly the same issue, but would like to avoid a hard-reset if possible.
Thanks for any advice!
same problem here
hi all,
i have a very strange sms bug.
every time i get a new sms text message i get 2 messages in my inbox.
1. i get the actual message that was just send to me.
2. i get another message that is stored on my sim ( if i look in my inbox, there is a SIM icon in front of the message).
This 2nd message also shows up at first in TF3D and is on top of my list in my inbox. very annoying !!
the strange thing is that the 2nd sms is a message that i once sended to a friend of mine, somehow that message is stored somewhere on my SIM and comes in my inbox everytime a get a new message.
i tried a few things, but they didn't help:
- delete it from my inbox and then from removed items; keeps coming back.
- choose "Inmediatly" by "clear removed items" in the message options menu; still the message is coming back.
the message must be stored on the sim, because that message was send from my old phone. and the only thing my old phone and my blackstone have in common is the same simcard.
so i need to know how i can delete this SMS text message from my sim card, at least i think that will solve the problem..
hope someone can tell me how, because its very annoying to delete this message over and over again because it always shows first.
I'm going to bump this thread up because I have the same issue/question.
little kick up..
Same issue here, bumping..
had the same thing when i got my HD a few months ago, after deleting such messages a hundred times they suddenly where gone... :-\
maybe you have another phone around to check if you can delete old messages stored on your sim?

Same problem here...
same here... any sim guru around?....
i got the same problem since i have my htc, the only thing that realy worked for me is this
efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html (Efficasoft Mobile Express)
its a software, that can save your sms on your pc, and directly delete it from your sim
.. but sometimes my htc gets stuck, and i have to reset it, but yeah its an easy way to save & delete all sms
you could also try ms myphone in combination with pimbackup. afaik myphone only syncs sms on the phone itself, but with pimbackup you can use the delete all feature, maybe that would wipe the sim as well, then you'd sync with myphone again, and since wiping pim information with pimbackup appears as an unplanned deleting, you will get your regular sms back thru syncing with myphone.
another idea would be: try another phone, a cheap or old one, that only uses sim sms and delete all sms there. if that doesn't help, there is something wrong with your network or sim card
I had the same problem as anyone of you. But after deleting it from my inbox at least 4-5 times, it suddenly disappears.
Hi all,
Earlier on today when sending a text my phone froze up and after a minute I pulled the battery... when it rebooted all my SMS and email had gone!!!
My email is on Exchange server but wont sync back... new SMS's seem to come in ok but what has happened to my messages and how do I get them back?
Any ideas what files I need to look for ?
Cheers, Wayne
That seems very strange that your SMS have gone. They only disappear after a hard reset normally. Or you deleting them of course.
Sure does :-( hope the phone isnt fcuked already!!!
Dont even know where to look but guessing they are in a database somewhere
bumpety bump bump
hi, can anyone help me, ive got a new message shown on the message tab, however i have no new messages. i deleted my entire inbox/sent and it still shows a new message. can anyone help me remove this?
