i seem to have in ERROR ticked the box that said INBOX , this i assumed would store the SMS inbox on xda II on pc
However i know now this to be wrong, but i have a ACTIVESYNC mail folder inside XDA II , which has all the data from my PST from outlook on pc, is there a way to remove this and all the fair few folders, as i cant seem to delete any folders , all seems to be hidden with in a system folder called Database ?
I seen postings for clearmail from spritesoftware, but there pages seems down , if someone has this zip anywhere or know of another link to find it id give it a whirl
any other advise without a hard reset would be great ty

Hi could some one please help me delete some old partnerships in activesync, I use windows XP and activesync 3.7.1, everything works fine, but as i keep installing crap on my old XDA and also the new XDA-2 i oftern hard reset and then reinstall new or different programs.
The problem is each time i do this i have to make a new name for the partnership, i.e john-xda, john_xda, johns-xda etc etc, i have about 20 existing names listed , I know this is not the end of the world but it is anoying, and when you go to send a file via IR or BT from the laptop up comes a list of at least 20 old xda partnership names to choose from.
Please any ideas how to delets all of them apart from the one thats currently in use
Thanks
John
have you tried under activesync ? would seem logic to make it possible to delete partnerships from there
otherwise you can delete the folder made by the patnership under
my documents
Thanks for the ideas, I have looked in activesync but there are no options there to delete them, I have deleted the folders in my documents ( and the desk top short cuts to them) but when i try and send a file i still get shown the list of 20 plus names to send to, but the real problem is you cant use the same name twice.
thanks for trying tho
john
have you tried doing a search in regedit on the pc
it would be a typical place to store them
Go to ActiveSync while there's no device plugged in. Then select 'File', "Delete Partnership' until they're all gone.
Thanks Peter thak worked fine, i had looked in activesync but this was with a device connected.
thanks for bot of you for your help
John
is it possible to 're-link' the old partnership with an XDA after a hard reset?
b
why would you want to ?
you can still use the same name
you can still get access to all the files
you can still get access to the backup
so then why do you want the get the old patnership ?
just thought it might be easier than deleting the old partnership and creating a new one.
Also, do you know if the SMS messages are stored when the XDA syncs up? If so, how do I get the back onto my phone after a hard reset?
Cheers,
B
Old Partnership
If when you delete the partnership you answer no to delete files and the XDA has the same name the new partnership will use the same link area (/my documents/pocketpcXXmy documents)
ah HA! Awesome. But do you know about the text messages (SMS)?

Hi. If you had a partnership with your pc when you first synchonized and now you hard-reset your device, you might want to delete the old partnership if you don't need its documents anymore. That could be done in a very easy way even when the device is not connected. the steps are:
-Turn on pc
-double click active sync incon without connecting the device
-go to file>mobile device and select the partnership's name you wanna delete, when selected a big black dot will appear next to it.
-then file>delete parnership
Done!
Fantastic!! Although that still doesn't really answer my question :wink:

you cant sync sms's back if you took a backup and restore it you get the sms back or if you used the tool at yorch.net
Hi all
I have an Hp ipaq 6340 with windows mobile 2003. the problem is, I cannot see anything in the sent items folder of sms. when I try to select the sent items folder, it doesnt show anything.
also is there anyway to store the mails and the sms in storage card
Not sure if this helps but when you recieve an sms does it show up in the inbox and stay there saved? if so the problem you have with the empty sent box is that you havent ticked the check box to save all sent sms'.I had the same issue once and stumbled across the check box by accident while playing around with the phone. Go to start>programs>messaging>tools>options>tick the box (keep copy of sent mail in sent folder)
Hello,
My Outlook Mobile Account Info has been corruptet in some way.
The email accounts, sms shows fine, is not visable when starting Messaging.
When I search with PIM manager the accounts are there and when I try reinstalling SEVEN it tells me I have reached the limit of number off accounts.
I am trying to locate the files where the account info is stored and associated emails to delete these and start over again.
Can anyone help with file name and location or if there is a tool available.
I found mailaccountrepair posted on xda but it didn't work. What I really think is the best way is youst to find the files and delete them.
Many thanks,
Hakan, Linkoping, Sweden
Hi. Do you happen to have WM6.1? It seems there is a known problem & Microsoft released a patch:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958639/en-us
"This behavior occurs because the e-mail account details are corrupted when the Windows Mobile 6.1-based device does not connect to the SMTP server."
Otherwise your best bet might be to backup what you can & do hard reset which should fix the problem but unfortunately you'll need to restore all your settings/stuff which shouldn't be too bad using activesync or a backup/restore tool like PPCPimBackup (both of which I've done numerous times from muckin up my phone so bad it wouldn't work or simply migrating to a new phone.)
If you are set on trying to recover what you got now, I think some email stuff is stored under:
My Device\windows\Messaging (I think text files of your messages & attachments)
MD\Application Data\Volatile (?)
MD\MAPI (empty on mine)
Sorry I can't say for sure what all is where & exact purpose but maybe it will head you in the right direction. I recall coming across registry entries for Messaging & MAPI too but it has been awhile. Yell if you want me to dig out my registry editor & look but again hopefully I got you started.
Hope that helps.
Bill
Thanks a million.
I ended up restoring from a fairly recent backup however I am a bit worried for it to happen again.
I am not sure if my problem was because of the known issue you mention. When researching it I also found that the patch wasn't very stable:
http://blogs.msdn.com/outlook_mobile/archive/2008/11/12/wm-6-1-smtp-fix-released.aspx
Anyway, a restore solved the problem for now!
Happy hollidays, Hakan
Ok i currently use a verizon xv6800,
And have activesync set up to sync with my exchange 2003 server.
It works great, my one only question is, is there anyways, that anybody knows, to be able to Permanently delete messages from my inbox (Like doing a Shift+Delete) on my desktop. When i delete on my WM device it moves the message into the deleted items, theres gotta be a way to permanently delete a message from the mobile device.. please tell me theres a way
thanks
fred
unfortunately emails go to trash when you delete them.. you can't avoid it using standard measures.. if there's an app for it I'm not familiar with... you might be able to find it if you searched hard enough thru the forum.
worst case, you can request a developer here to build one.. i don't think it should be too complicated
Hey Guys - I have a huge Problem ...
I was playing around with SKtools and "optimizing" the registry ... I dont know if this has anything to do with it and its the first time i'm posting here for a Problem ..
following problem : in Manila tag "messages" there are no more messages - all my sms are gone and im not able to create new ones ... i also cannot access "messaging" in start menue or settings...
same with mail accounts - cannot see mine nor create or edit a new one ...
can anyone help me please ? is this just a broken link somewhere ? Are my messages still eventually stored anywhere and if yes where ?
i would really appreciate your Help
sorry for my english
It could be registry errors.
Try to restore your backup.
well ... i dont find any option for a backup in sk tools concerning automated optimisation of the registry ..
then hard reset is another option...
next time install a proper backup tools like Sprite Backup & backup regularly
well i know
it seems that outlook is broken - is there a possibility to manually search the files/folders where sms and mail messages are stored ?
As long as your WM not discarded all the corrupted data may be you still can get it.
but I'm not sure b'coz I have never try that before.
yes - thats what i thought .. the data might still be present ...
does anyone know the folder / file where sms and mail messages are normally stored ? also I cant't find the "tmail.exe" in my System - does this have to do anything with it ? Is someone out there who has a little background knowledge ?
I had the same problem. It was fixed by going to the sd card and deleting some folder called ~"Inbox.1234123" or something.
Its some error b/c of having 2 different folders for storing attachments. Deleting that folder fixed it for me. It still pops up every now and then, i go and delete that folder, and all works perfect afterwards...

Brilliant. Had this problem and two of these files (as I'm on a mac I only have my contacts etc backed up, but not my entire system)
Thus removing these two files saved me a lot of pain.
Thanks!
