I am looking to see if anyone has used or knows of a tool to help clean and organize text messages. I hate having to go through each individual text to delete them, or deleting the entire thread.
I used to use the Palm Threaded app, but it seems to slow my Tilt down as well as run down the battery, but I liked how it had the option to purge sms messages based upon a specific time frame.
I have looked around here, google, and on yahoo for a tool to help clean/organize SMS messages, and haven't really found anything. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've searched and it doesn't look like Outlook has this natively, but maybe there is a 3rd party add-on? It would be totally awesome to have message rules for SMS/MMS messages.
Also, when composing a new message, being able to select more than one recipient at a time rather than selecting one at a time.
So yeah, anyone know of anything?
On my old WM5 devices, text messages showed in a threaded conversation view, like what you see here:
http://www.mykesoft.com/textr/details.php
but in WM6, on my kaiser with duttys each text message takes up a whole line, I can not find a way to view text messages like an IM conversation. Anyone know of a good one?
The one I provided a link to does not install on a duttys flashed ROM.
Any advice helpful~!
I don't have links on hand, but I do know that there are a few threads already about this very topic. You might try searching to see what you can find.
Personally I have tried PocketCM, and liked the concept, but didn't like the speed of the contact lookup... especially compared to FFF.

very similar to the textr link, but doesn't have the contact pics on the side.
i use the palm one and can't use sms without it. If you don't care about loosing your mms then install the palm one, its freaking awesome. I wish someone would fix the mms portion so that it worked again, but for some reason it just stopped working on the kaiser.
I used Extreme Text, it works great, I really like how simple it is, but its not freeware, but its not ridicously price.
Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment

It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

I keep running into this and wonder if any one else has the issue or knows how to fix it. By default the threaded messaging window only keeps the last twelve messages and then you can tap older for the next twelve older. At some point it will stop letting you go to the older messages, even when you know there are more to see. I would like to have more messages per page and have it go all the way to the beginning of the history or texting. I have looked myself and cant find where this is set. I also searched the forums and have not found any talk on this.
i have this problem too. and for some reason after a while, my threaded messaging just deletes all the history for that contact. even what i was able to see before...without me deleting any of the messages. it's really wierd
for me it doesnt delte older msgs it just wont show them in threaded mode
if you switch to non threaded they are there but i agree its annoying and random too
Is there any way to limit the number of threaded SMS messages that are displayed? For me, it takes a while to load the window when it's a contact with whom I've exchanged many messages.
I'd like the thread to show only the last 5 messages, or so...
I am currently running TPC's stock like 6.5 ROM. I love that it is light and fast. The only problem that I have is with TXT messaging. I don't have M2D, just a shortcut on the today screen
There are two many steps needed to send a message. I have a shortcut to open messages, then I need to select the SMS/MMS over email account, then I need to select the conversation I want then type message. This is not bad and I know it probably can't be shortened by but only a step.
Pictures are a whole new story. I have to open messaging, select SMS/MMS, go to menu/new MMS, then add the picture, then add recipient, then send. This is because the option to add picture in the threaded conversation is grayed out.
Oddly my wife has an Palm Treo 680. I don't like the phone but it is awesome for texting. Is there any software out there that is better for texting? I ahve searched for hours, and all I get is old programs that thread the messaging before WM6 I am going to start my trial and error with ROMS, but if anyone can point me in a direction for software because I like TPC's ROM, everything else seems to work so well.
I have found this program:
Treo 800w Threaded SMS GMS Beta
I will see how it works.
Edit: I didn't work
