Weird unread mails issue after crash and restart - HTC Vox

Hi all,
today my Vox locked up completely so I had even to remove the battery as I could not shut it down. After putting the battery back in I bootet the phone successfully again.
But now I have an issue with my mailbox:
There is definitely not one mail in my inbox, however the home screen (and outlook) both claim still there is one unread message in the inbox.
I have no chance to tell my phone my mailbox is empty and hence this counter should be on zero.
Did somebody else have this issue already before?
Any clue how to correct it?
Where does WM 6.0 (I use the original rom by HTC still) place the mails in the filesystem? Maybe I just have to delete some file there?
Thanks for you help.
This is not really a big problem but very annoying.

Major problem with Messaging (Email)

Guys, I don't what else to do! Is there a hardware linked to the Messaging application? This is what happened:
A few days ago, my phone's battery ran out completely (with that annoying message - "warning, etc").
Well, I charged the phone again, and everything was fine with exception of the Messaging application. Whenever I clicked send/receive, it just stayed there. Nothing happened. When I pressed "stop send/receive", the "disconnecting..." message stayed on FOREVER, always having to reboot.
I thought it had something to do with the GPRS setup. But web surfing was no problem at all. So it couldn't be the connection. Right? Anyways, I not only redid the connections as I tried with the wi-fi connection too. NOTHING!
Last night I decided to Clear Storage the phone (I had flashed it HTC's latest official ROM). Still no good! Then I flashed Gonzo's ROM yesterday. NOTHING! The exact same problem!
I tried setting up other e-mail accounts, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! Damn!
Anyone?
Also, is there a Java Mail application I could use?
I flashed back HTC's latest official ROM.
I never quit! But I think that my phone
does.
We'll see...
Well... PROBLEM SOLVED!
Clear Storage the official ROM hadn't worked, and neither flashing Gonzo's.
However, after re-flashing the official ROM, it works perfectly.
Go figure.
Thanks everyone (I know all posts are mine, but you all gave me the necessary insipiration).
Anyways, next week I'm getting a TyTN II. I'm sure I'll be here again. LOL
Properly the radio or something like that that had to be reflashed.
Im happy to hear that your phone works now.

Well... guess what? Now I can't receive any SMS! Geez...
I send them alright. But when I send one to myself or from another from, I do not receive them. Not even the confirmation request.
Can I flash only the radio? How to I do it? Which one do you recommend?
Thanks!
Same email problem you had
Hello, I figure your email problem (Disconecting...) was solved by reflashing the fone. But I am facing this same problem with different ROM versions since sometime ago. It looks like there is something else about it.
Do you have any clue on the origin of this problem, so I can solve it??

Hardware Failure? Tried re-flashing and still no good

Guys,
I sincerely don't know what happened. I have a Dopod C500, which I had perfectly flashed to HTC's latest ROM. Everything was running smoothly, until a few days ago, after I ran out of battery.
Following a recharge, the phone was never the same. First, problems with connecting to my email account. Web-surfing was fine, but somehow the problem affected just email checking. It tried connecting and nothing. And if I tried to stop, it stayed on "disconnecting" forever.
Well, I performed a Clear Storage, but it didn't help. So I reflashed the phone. Twice. And the email problem was temporarily solved, but it reappeared later on.
Text messaging was also a problem. I wasn't receiving them.
And now, there's a problem with my Contacts. They sync alright, but when I click Contacts on the phone, I can't see them. Only if I press the call button. And the phone is extremely slow...
Any suggestions? No jokes please. Is there a ROM any of you would recommend?
Thanks guys!

That sounds like what happend to me and I solved the problem by changing the battery for a spare that I had bought, and now I have got a fully functioning phone. So try etting a replacement battery.
Roland
Thanks a lot for the quick response Roland! I'll try that!
But should I re-flash when I get a new battery?
Also, as of next Tuesday, I'll also own a TyTN II!
But isn't Tuesday do far away from now?
Thanks again, and I'll let you know if it worked.
One more thing: do you choose to charge the phone when connecting to Activesync? Do you feel that it shortens the battery life?
If the ROM you are using now is ok and you are happy with it then you don't need to reflash. If you want to change your ROM then I rcomend DR. Martin Gonzo's WM6.1 v1.0b ROM.
Roland
I do charge the phone when connected to WMDC6.1 and don't find that it has an effect on the battery life.

Deleted unread SMS :-(

Hi guys,
I have a problem, that from time to time my WM phone (Hermes) freezes and then I have to do a reset with the stylus and all the unread SMS that I´ve received in the meantime are gone..
Is there a way to prevent this, please? (e.g. a program that would automatically mark all incoming SMS as read so that the WindowsMobile system will actually store them even in case of a reset?)
Thanks for any help!
Pteropus.
nobody knows a solution..?
please..
please, help meee.. isn´t there a way to stop the unread sms-s from getting lost after restart..??
No idea.
I tried and mine works normally. I sent myself an SMS. I didn't open or read it when it arrived. I just left it unread in the inbox. I performed a soft reset using the stylus. When the device rebooted the SMS was still in the inbox showing as unread.
yeah but when the phone freezes it will delete.
it happens on my wing and on my old excalibur.
exactly
thanks for your replies..
so what can be done? i am thinking of a soft that would either keep the unread sms in its own memory on the memory card or a soft that would save it right away as read.. it is such a bummer, it´s a feature of Windows Mobile but I am wondering why this doesn´t bother anyone else...
Yes believe me this is a major pain in the a#@*! Has happened to me quite a few times and even made me miss an important appointment once...
I take it that this is simply a "feature" of the system but it could be down to a rogue program somewhere. Not for me to say anything of course but some of the third party programs available do seem to make my machine freeze more than most. Remove them and it works ok for long periods.
Funny that...
same here
that is the same source of madness for me.. last week I got an SMS from a horny girlfriend but the phone froze, sms is gone and she says that she will not say what was in it, beacuse she is ashamed how open it was and wants to play a dame now.. aaaargh....

cannot access poutlook mail

Hi everyone,
I've got a huge problem with my touch cruise:
A few weeks ago, something happened with my phone and I could no longer access any of the mail features of outlook. I performed a hard reset, switched to a new rom, and now the problem is back!
In M2D, the email accounts disappeared (says "no accounts"); and the text messaging says "no messages. If I clicked on messaging in the start menu, nothing happens.
I can still access all of the other features of outlook - contacts, calendar, and tasks work fine.
When this first happened, I searched around, tried a few things that might have helped, and nothing worked. I performed a hard reset, and installed a new ROM (originally was M-AMINE's final, now is c_shekhar's most recent with footprints included), and things seemed to work fine. Now, just last night, the exact same thing happened as before.
The first time I had installed imappusher a day or 2 before, so I thought that might be the culprit. This time, however, I did not install that software, and the error still happened.
Any thoughts? Potential culprits? Ways to fix it? Ways to prevent it in the future?
Thanks for reading,

weird timing, someone else posted a similar problem right before me, and there's a solution that seems to have worked in there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486297
Snapphane's fix worked for me, or at least it allows me to access the mail part of outlook so far (I have not re- set up the email accounts- it looks like all of my mail has still disappeared).
I went to the storage card with file explorer, and deleted a folder called something like "inbox.msi.233406...", and now all of a sudden I can get into the mail fine.
Thanks snapphane, and lets hope it keeps working!

Outlook Mobile messages problem

Hello everybody!
Hope someone can help me, as this is a troublesome issue:
First of all, I'm on a Touch Pro with a Stock WWE ROM. The one that was provided with the phone.
Since yesterday, and without any apparent cause (haven't installed/changed a thing), the Pocket Outlook refuses to open my email messages.
I get the email in the inbox, but when trying to load a message, it just flashes the taskbar, changing the 'X' closing button to 'ok', marks the message as read, but doesn't load it.
The weird thing is it does open the SMS messages. I'm guessing that works because of the threaded view being enabled, so the viewer program is different.
I've tried to erase the account (GMail) and recreate it, didn't help at all.
Any ideas?
Can I reinstall the Outlook in any way without Hard-resetting the device?
Thanks a lot!
wow sounds pretty similar to my problem (except i couldn't open sms's either).
I found my problem to be my memory card....maybe try removing ur memory card(if you have one installed) and resetting the phone, then try to access your outlook messages.....worked for me anyway....hope it helps
