Ignore my stupid ramblings - I've found the SMSChat folder in poutlook - doh!!!
I think I have made a mistake by installing VITO SMS-Chat! It's a lovely app but it has removed all of my texts from inbox and sent in pocket outlook.
Now I want to remove it but have no idea where it has stored all of my texts and i want them back in poutlook where they belong!!
Anyone know how?
Thanks
Doh!
I'm stuck in the same boat here. Could you please tell me how you solved this?

Normally txts go into your SMS/MMS...Inbox.
After SMS-Chat installs, more folders are created.
Move them out of the SMS-Chat...Inbox and back into your SMS/MMS...Inbox
Move your SMS-Chat...Sent itmes back into your SMS/MMS...Sent folder
Same for Drafts
Finally delete the SMS-Chat folder and you're done

Hi
I have an xda 2.
I recently carried out a hard reset to clean up my xda 2.
Unfortunately when I tried restoring my back up (from active sync) there appears 2 be a problem with old sms messages.
I had created a number of sub-folders where I had moved my old messages.
I can see the old sms messages in the folder but I can not open, read or forward them. There are no problems with new sms messages.
Has anyone come acrosss this before and can you advise me on how to retrieve these please?
Thanks.
Salim
....No response...does noboby love me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I've had a look through the forums and have foubd similarish problems but nothing seems to help
This is wht I have done so far
1. Downloaded mobile vault to interrogate my back up - but this has proved futile as when I go to where I believe the sms messages are the ones I want are blank (even though I can see them in the sms folder but not expand them).
2. I downloaded Jeye Mobile companion and Jeyo Outlook extender
JMC did not help much
Jeyo Outlook Extender will let me read the SMS messages that are in my inbox (but not accessible via the XDA II). However, any stored in the other folders I have set up are not accessible (I don't seem to be able to see the folders I have set up on the XDA II).
3. I have performed more hard resets - and backups any sms in the back up (even in the inbox) suffer the same fate of not being readable (But I have now backed up mu more recent ones elsewhere).
Well I'm exhausting my options now.
Any help would be more than welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I have searched the forums but haven't had much luck - if anyone knows of a similar post that has had a reply then could they point me to it).
Any news
Has anyone ever found a way round this?
Similar problem - looking for a solution also.
I had to restore after my SPV M2000 hard reset itself and I cannot view Old or NEW sms messages (apart from when the message bubble is shown as a new message arrives). My messaging inbox, drafts, outbox and deleted items all show the number of messages in them, but I cannot view or access any of them.
Is there any way these messages can be accessed or deleted?
Help!!
Any solution yet
Hi... has anyone figured a way around this yet?
I've spoken to someone at o2 and they said it had something to do with the way the inbox is recognised/linked.
After a hard reset the system is given a new id...but the old messages are linked to an older id....
There must be someway around this.
If I can see the message headers surely there must eb a way of reading the messages!!!!!
HELP PLEASE
A work around if you're stuck
I use Sprite backup which caused this problem after a restore. After raising it with their support team they supplied me with the attached file which allows SMS messages to be received and read.
BE AWARE that all messages on the device will be deleted, but new messages received will work. This will erase SMS, MMS & any emails that are on the device, so use with caution. Make sure you have a full backup!!!

Hi,
I had the same issue here. Later it turned out that the application has completely disappeared from the device. It wasn't there even after a hard reset so I had to flush the ROM with a new one.

I have the same problem. Thought it was related to Flexmail. So I uninstalled that, but starting \windows\tmail.exe still does not do anything. It is there, but it does not start at all.
Same for starting mailAccountRepair.exe. It does not do anything either.

I had forgotten that I had recently changed messages to my sd card. Killed the directory...and all is well.

Thanks Foxmark!
Thank god for this topic...
I was really worried when I found that my mail/text wouldn't start anymore. The trick with the renamed attachment folder worked for me too. Weird though, that selecting a perfectly valid option kills the app all together.
this is slightly off topic, but still I hope you can help me.
my pocket outlook works as expected, but every 3rd party app I try for sending SMS silently fails (it claims success and moves the messages to "sent", but they never leave my device).
A knowledge base article I found for flexmail suggests that it's a problem with tmail.exe. ( http://kb.webis.net/questions/22/SMS+does+not+send+in+FlexMail )
Does anyone know anything I can do about it short of flashing to another rom?
solved!!
I got the same problem. only renaming the file cemail.vol in root folder, which contains email settings could allow the tmail to show up!!!
Ok I'm having some problems with this. Ive tried to use PIM backup and it sort of works. It backups and restores (sort of) all of my sms's but none of my contacts.
The sort of part is that the sms window is really slow and its not threading together the messages. When I turn off threaded messaging all is well.
when I went from wm5 to wm6.1 on my tytn I used spb backup and it worked perfect all the messages threaded no issues, it took a few mins but when it was all done all was well.
Ive tried the spb backup again but SPB dosent allow you to use a backup from one device on another type of device.
On the contacts issue I did the same thing on my tytn when I went from wm5 to wm6.1 I used spb backup and like magic they were all there with pictures and other info.
So you gurus out there any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!!
Try Sprite backup....or activesync

Activesync will do that? It has a use?! I thought it was just some annoying program I had to use to install non cab file programs, thanks I never thought about it.
Will also look for sprite, thanks!

Does this copy SMS messages too?
Is it possible to copy over non-threaded SMS to threaded with any of these programs? I've got an 8525 with WM6 going to a FUZE.

Yeah... Didn't work for me. I copied pim.vol (4.5MB) from my 8525 to my MicroSD card, then put it in the Fuze, renamed the Fuze pim.vol to pim.vol.fuze and copied the 8525 in its place (using total commander). I shut down and restarted as well as pushing the soft reset. No SMS messages show up.
Did I do something wrong or miss something?
[Edit]
I guess it's called patience. It looks like they just take forever to load or thread or whatever. I ended up using PIM Backup though as I only needed the messages. Also, there's no "Multimedia Messages" folder to copy to on the Fuze. I'll have to move those somewhere else.
there is no mms folder with threaded turned on if you turn it off there will be a folder. the mms messages are threaded too
Can I go back and forth (non-threaded to move them then threaded to join them)? If not, is there another way to get the MMS messages from one to the other?

Okay, I took the plunge and tried turning it off and on again (using SMS Tweaker 1.5). I didn't lose any messages, but the Multimedia Messages folder never shows up. I'd really like to keep my old MMS messages. Anyone got any suggestions?
I used PIM Backup to backup my text messages before hard resetting my phone... this is an example of a threaded message before:
Code:
Me 1/1/8: Hey mate how's it going?
Bob 2/2/8: Good, whats been happening?
Me 3/3/8: Not much ... just work
Bob 4/4/8: Ahh ... that sux
When I restored the messages they appeared as follows:
Code:
Bob 2/2/8: Good, whats been happening?
Bob 4/4/8: Ahh ... that sux
Me 1/1/8: Hey mate how's it going?
Me 3/3/8: Not much ... just work
... I use PIM Backup 2.8
... this really sux.. is there anyway to "reindex" the messages or something to get them back in order?
Let me know if this has happend to you or how we can fix it.
Much appriciated,
Kris
Same happened to me and I solved it the following way:
You need a registry editor, I use resco, but anyone should work.
In "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Setting" you create a folder called OEM where you make a non threaded SMS setting, (reg attached to save you the hazzle) when that is done, softreset and restore the messages with PIM Backup, remember to set it to delete all previous messages and now you have all your messages the old fashion way with no threading.
Then you go to "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Setting" and delete the OEM folder created before, softreset and voila your messages is back to threaded format with right order.
a little work but apparently the PIM Backup for whatever reason cannot put them in right order when restoring

My registry doesnt have the setting folder ("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Setting") has "HKCU\Software\Microsoft" though ... am i missing something?!
Thanks,
Kris
No, you didn't miss anything, it was me that was too quick when writing, it should be:
HKCU\software\Microsoft\inbox\settings
I forgot the inbox, sorry
Garcia
thanks alot
So many whoas solved in such little words.
Dude, I know this is an old thread, but this worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Maybe someone should update the PIMBackup official thread to edit this in so other people having the same problem have something to refer to.
also, the key for those that don't want to install the .reg file:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000001
I'm interested in backing up my SMS text messages...I have thousands and after a while it get's sluggish, and I have some very important messages that I need to hold on to.
I have MyBackup Pro which works nice, but you can only restore one backup...as far as I konw...and it removes all SMS messages before it restores. So I have like 10 backups all from different dates and I can only restore one set.
Is there a program that backs up SMS/MMS messages as good as MyBackup Pro to the Local SD card, but will allow you to either append new message backups to a backup already created or will let you combine and restore multiple backups? Thanks.

Oh my bad...I just saw Apps and figured it went here...Mods, feel free to move please.
Does HTC Sync have options other than just syncing the contacts with outlook? What files would contain the SMS/MMS texts? How would this work to append messages say if I deleted all the messages after a backup and then wanted to add additional messages in a backup and then restore all??? Thanks.
-Slevin
No one goes to the Q/A board , I think app questions/suggestions are fine here. As for the OP's question, I'm using SMS backup+, it backups sms and mms to your gmail account as well as your contacts and call logs should you require it.

BackupPro does a great job as well. I even set it up to automatically backup everything at 2am.

Thanks, I've used this before....is there a way to access your SMS messages via gmail or the internet? I kinda leaned away from it because it took forever to backup...rather restore 10,000 SMS messages via online. Also, there's some information in my SMS messages that are sensative.
I've used MyBackupPro but it over-writes messages when you do a restore.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I hope I can find something that works well.

I second SMS Backup+ it saves you ur gmail and can restore.
I use this then use outlook to move texts to a new folder so when i do a restore it only restores a few messages. it is kinda slow but it works. backed up my wifes evo that had 42,000+ texts and mms. took a long time but worked.
