I've been made aware of that I somehow have it set in my options to only receive private messages from people on my buddy list...
I searched high and low and see nothing on how to disable that and set it where anyone can send me a private message.

how bout just using the built-in windows mobile security features to put a simple pin or password on your phone. either that or not handing it to people you don't trust to view your email/sms?

If things only were that simple. Everyone wants to check out our new touch pro's right.. But you don't want everyone to be able to read your sms messages. At least, I dont. Having a pass to the sms/mail tab is certainly on my wish list!

could you be so kind to share it with us others? I'm also really looking for an application like this..
i'm interrested in it too...has anybody something?
I would also love this..
I would like this as well.
It's getting kind of annoying that I would have to click on 'clear notifications' even after reading those SMSs... any idea how to turn this off the moment I preview or read them? I'm using HandCent and I can't seem to find the proper setting. Appreciate any help.
never mind. figured it out.

Ok you ask for help, then figure it out so why not share with everyone the answer. It could help someone else looking to do the same thing.

I wanted an application that could do this but all I could find was the one from blueAnt which only works with their specific bluetooth device...
You could use Tasker and use this profile - price looks high but it's VERY powerful once you know what you're doing.
Comes with a trial mode for around seven days.
+1 for Tasker. Brilliant app.
I have my 'in car' profile set to read texts - on text receipt it pauses the music player, then reads the senders contact name, and then the body of the text. Awesome.
i was planning on getting the blueant Q1 (just found it for $25). are you saying it won't work with handcent in reading a txt message?
edit: forget it...answered my own question by going to their site. "Hear text messages read aloud on your Q1 when connected to an Android device with our Android application."
What about the vlingo application. It has an email and sms reader that reads the message out loud when activated, but I haven't managed to get it to read the message through the Bluetooth headset

SMS Speak
Just stumbled across this thread looking for something else. But thought I'd chime in. I use SMS Speak (the paid one, not the free one - two different companies/products), and it works great. I can get incoming texts and reply, all orally. I'm curious about the other products mentioned, though...

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you all could help me out. I have installed the 7/22 build of jellybean and I send quite a bit of text messages. The problem is, I send a lot at one time and in JB, it stops me after I've send about 4 messages within a minute or two to the same person, asking me to allow this to happen. If I don't say allow, the text message will not send. By text message, I do mean sms to be specific. I searched through settings and found nothing to stop this message from popping up. I love the stock messaging app and I don't want to have to give it up unless there is no way around this. Does this happen to you and if so does anyone know a way around it? Thanks
hey i am running the 7-22 and gapps 7-19
i just sent 5-6 texts to my fb status update system and they all went through with no errors and they were sms messages
also i am having no problems receiving mms

I'm currently trying to recreate the issue. It's happened several times with normal text messaging to my girlfriend. It basically tells me that I've sent a lot of sms messages in a short period of time. A prompt comes up telling me that after I hit send. In order for the message to send I have to say "allow" in the prompt. The other option is, of course, "deny". This is an android OS prompt, not a superuser prompt. I can't seem to recreate it at the moment with google voice as my contact, but I'm sure it will happen again tomorrow when I'm texting my girlfriend and I will screen capture it, unless anyone knows what this is and how to disable it of course.
Is this the SMS to mms conversion count?

After some very specific searching, I found one topic in the GNex forums about the issue. It seems to be security for SMS bombing apps. Kind of a bummer for me. I hope this is disabled in the future or toggled somewhere. http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1742226.html

Oh, weird, I've never gotten that or even heard that function existed. I bet someone could pretty easily hack the messaging app to remove that limitation. It seems like a valid security feature though to prevent any app from mass texting. Maybe you should just write longer messages, haha.

Yeah, I am having the same problem on my HTC Inspire 4G running unofficial CM10 called JellyTime by randomblame ported to my phone. The easiest way to avoid this would be to get a second texting app and bounce back and fourth between the 2 apps. I was running Go SMS Pro and got the same prompt. So that's the best way I can think of to avoid the prompt for the time being.
Ever get one of those "You just won a $1,000 shopping spree at Best Buy" messages?
That's what this is supposed to prevent from happening to you, so your phone doesn't text random people who aren't even in your contact list.
I would say... put up with it. Eventually the mass SMS spammers will get the hint and they'll stop, at which point someone at Google will lift the limit, unless an app dev fixes the apk itself, at which point you'll have to manually monitor outgoing messages.
Edit: I wonder if someone has tried taking the messaging apk from gapps 4/29 and put it in the gapps 7/26 package? Would be a sensible attempt at avoiding the security block, but not sure if it would negate the security feature itself...
Actually, there is an app for rooted users that I found while using the search feature, called BAMF SMS fix. Check it out. Unfortunately I no longer have the link to the file, but I still have the file itself. PM me if you need the file. It is a flashable .zip

Exactly as the title says
If i email a person at my company with my phone, it goes directly to them
If they reply, it comes directly to me
If i reply - my default setting is Reply All - it adds my email to the CC
So because they emailed me, and im replying All, it adds me again!
This is fairly annoying!
Anyone else?
I don't reply often from my phone, but the one time I did, it also added me on CC. Kinda annoying.
Haha! So I'm not alone!
Try this though... Create sub folders under your inbox folder and try to use the mail widget for your inbox folder... Or, same thing with the unread email search folder. See if it ever updates after the message is marked as read, or retrieve new unread messages even...
IMO, Google really fudged the corporate mail app in kit Kat... Highly disappointing for a company with ample resources to do better.

It never used to do it in 4.3, started in 4.4. It does it for me on my Nexus 4 now it's upgraded also.
Seriously annoying.
Someone has opened a bug here: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62722 - you may wish to star it in the hope it gets noticed/fixed.
