WM6.1 Delete all mails - HTC Vox

is there any safeguard to stop someone accidentally deleting all their mail ?
in outlook mail on the phone if you press menu and then 0 it deletes all messages from the phone without an "are you sure" prompt
if you are additionally syncing with exchange it will also delete all messages from your exchange account.
Ok you can recover them from deleted items but I think its a bit of a flaw in WM6.1
can anyone help ?

Menu => Tools => Other => "Warn when deleting messages in the message list".
Tick it off and no more worries.

wow thanks for that

UPDATE !!
I just checked it "warn when deleting messages in the message list" WAS already ticked
but to be sure I tried it again with that ticked and lo and behold - another 250 mails were deleted

Untick it, close and re-opening messaging, tick it again, close and re-open and see if it works.

I did ALL exactly as you suggested - but still all messages got deleted without a warning
is it just me ?

I believe it only asks for confirmation when u delete a single message, not when u delete multipe / all messages.
Possible reason - deleting multiple / all messages functionality is not an in-built feature of WM unfortunately - its a 3rd party addon.

well its a quite a dangerous flaw then

wrong!
it always ask

Turning off automatic mail deletion on Send/receive in WM6.0

Hi people... WM6.0 is bugging me - every time I send/receive it deletes all of my old mail... Is there any way to turn this off?
Thanks in advance!
No ideas?
I have the same issue with GMAIL, but could not find a setting on the device to stop the inbox deletes. Also, the gmail pop3 settings online are not that clear on what to do?
I have the same problem, and the only way I found to keep my important mail, is by moving them to the spam folder...
If you configure the settings for the mail account to download "All messages" then they won't get deleted unless you delete them manually (in which case they'll disappear next time you send/receive). Just make sure you've only got what you need in your server Inbox....or you've got an unlimited data plan as it may take a while to download them all!!
By default, new mail accounts are setup to download "messages from the last three days" IIRC, which is why messages older than that will disappear from the phone's Inbox on a send/receive.
HTH,
Mark.

gmail has a problem that it deletes any read mail. Kinda sucks, but it happens
In the Gmail options (not on your phone, but on the webpage) you can set it to retain a copy of the mail after POP retrieval.

It's not a GMail problem, this happens with all my POP3 accounts. My retrieval settings are already on All Mail - any more bright ideas?

Different message delivery notification?

On a previous phone I owned, the message delivery notification was just a little icon that appeared in the sent items list. On my N95 notifications were saved in a seperate folder without popping up on screen or ringing/buzzing.
On the raphael, delivery notifications are just normal text messages, which isn't the most practical solution. Is there software for WM that can change this behaviour? Turning it into an icon view would probably be difficult technically, but not displaying a bubble when the notification arrives and silently moving it to a seperate folder would also be a nice solution.
So, is there any way to enable this on the Raphael?
Anyone?...
I tried the program SMS reports eraser, but that doesn't do the job either :/
Is there software that just intercepts the report, marks it as read and places it in a seperate folder?
You should try MagiCall.

Thanks for the tip. I installed it, and made a rule saying that all SMS messages containing the word 'delivered' should be marked as read and moved to a seperate folder. I then saved, performed a softreset, and sent a SMS to a friend.
Unfortunately, this one doesn't work either Could it be that the TF3D interface is overruling the Messaging app, and with it blocking programs that try to tie into the messaging part?
I also find the way these are handled annoying compared to my old N95. The notifications don't even have the person's name, just the number which makes it even worse!
I tried SMS reports eraser and it stopped me from being able to send messages and when people sent them to me I never got them even though the other person got a delivery report!
A suitable program or idea for these would be great. This is my first windows mobile phone and that's probably my biggest issue with it, apart from that it's great.
Ignore this!
Start>Settiings>Sounds & Notifications Select Notification tab. Go to New Text Message. From there, you can select Display Notification on Screen. That keeps the popup to nothing more than the envelope in the top bar once you deselect it.
Hope that's what you are looking for.

Delivery reports have no phone number but with a sender name, such as 'System Administrator'. To filter them, just use MagiCall to filter that sender name. Example:
Rule type: SMS
Filter type: Sender name
Name list: System Administrator
Action1: Move to folder
To: spec_folder
Leave all other settings default values. It should work.
Solution
Well, i seem to have the same problem, but i have found using Advance Config software to actually solve this problem. I am not sure if that is what u guys are looking for but after using the Advance Config, i will get a msg saying "msg sent" whenever i send an sms, but not get any report. So i am assuming when it says "MSG sent" it is already a delivary report which i got from my previous WM from from other PDA.
So here is how u do it. First install Advance Config, then go into settings, under messaging tab, change "sms sent notification" from disabled to enabled.
And restart your phone. Once done, everytime u send an sms, u will recieve a buble box saying " msg sent" thats all. No rubish in your inbox.
Let me know if this help. Thanks!
Is there any way to see the persons name in the notification instead of the number? This has been annoying me since I got my phone

While this works, this isn't exactly what the previous posters wanted. They wanted the delivery reports and not the sent reports.
Symbian S60 intercepted these delivery report messages and then displayed them as "popup dialogs" to users before storing them into a separate folders. This is also one of my gripes about WM6. But I can live without delivery reports.

Install the attached cab file and it will solve your problem......It worked perfectly on my TP
oK, thanks, I´ll try it tomorrow
I'm having the same problem, I was post a new thread but I searched and found this.
I like delivery notifications, but the fact that it comes as a normal SMS instead of a popup notification like on other phones is really annoying.
I'm not getting any notifications (sent or delivered) and I want to get at least 1. I live in an area where I have pretty spotty service and it's annoying to find out an hour later that my text never actually sent. Is there any way I can turn it on?
I checked the htc manual and it says I should be able to enable a delivery report before sending the message or in message options. However, my message options are light grey so I can't click on them. It's been like this since I took the phone out of the box.
Thanks so much.

WM 6.1 SMS Issue PLEASE HELP!!!

I recieved a new SMS today and it constantly shows as being unread, even though I have read it! I have manually tried to select it as read and still no different
Read SMS
Move SMS to a different folder
Delete SMS
End task processes
Soft reboot
Hard reboot
What else can I try? it won't move from my Inbox!!! more to the point I haven't recieved a new SMS since so I think its blocking my SMS's, unless I really have no friends lol
Cheers
even in hard reset??????
Men are you making a joke?
that cant be!!!!!! jajajaja ok ok....
That SMS is from who? your carrier...? voice mail?
Sometimes the voice mail remains there and even if in a new rom the Message comes again...
bye
your message would not be there after a hard reset, it clears everything on your device.
I know what this is but I forgot about the name, lol. I'll let you know later.
Cheers
just throwing stuff in the air.
if you save your inbox on your storage card and your recent SMS has a virus or problem, it could block receiving new sms' and create problems.

[Solved] SMS app showing duplicate contacts

So I' on Cyanmobile X and the inbuilt Messaging app doesnt allow sending an SMS to multiple numbers at the same time.
So I tried Hancent SMS and Go SMS.
Now the problem is that all these apps are showing the same name/number multiple times when I try to send a message.
Hancent SMS shows a name 3 times and GO SMS shows it 2 times.
I dont know why this happens ? ;/
and its really annoying
Any way to get rid of this?
My phonebook doesnt have any problem,its showing only 1 copy of the contact
SOLUTION
Solved the prob myself
I used Contacts Aggregator by Skullab Software
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skullab.ContactsAggregator&feature=search_result
The App itself is really easy to use.
As soon as you delete all the Duplicates,you'll get a warning from your Google Sync saying that too many contacts were removed and what to do now.Just click the "Delete them all" option and wait for the sync to complete.
Well thats it
[Note: Dont worry about your SIM contacts,this app wont touch SIM contacts ]:good:

Jellybean text message and email problem

I have an annoying problem here, the text message list wont update anymore after JB,
also it only shows "new message" on notification below instead of sender name,
and the email widget wont update unless I refresh it..
So there are 3 problems, im using indonesian JB
It seems to break the daemon service for updater maybe?
I have the same email problem. Will not update by itself.
Edit: I think I fixed it. Under settings and email, my accounts had synching disabled for some reason. Even though the sync box were checked in the email app setting. The synching under settings, account, email ... were disabled.
To fix, just go to
Settings > Data Usage > Menu > and check "auto sync data".
