Anyone ever encounter a problem with messaging not opening? It's as if the program is just missing, but I don't receive any kind of error message.
I have network access, but selecting either email or text message, results in no action.
Everything was fine until a day or two ago. I'm wondering if I inadvertently deleted something.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem a while back. I found the answer in this forum somewhere.
Just delete the inbox folder on your storage card and you're good to go. Don't ask me why, it just works. This folder is then recreated automatically.
Let me know if it works for you.

Check and see if you have multiple inbox.mst**** directories on your storage card, erasing these made my messaging work again. Not sure if you will lose your email though.
Worked like a charm - thank you.
yeah i have the same problem..i dont even have a way to send out txt msges. All that is there is email..no sms..i deleted the two inbox things but nothing happened. Someone please help me i cannot receive or send text msges...HELP
I had a similar problem had no email or text messages.. ended up deleting cemail.vol in the root directory and then setting up my emial again.. then it worked.. of course I lost everything I had in my email box... so maybe backup cemail.vol to another directory before you try...
Just delete email box on your storage(card or phone), or mailattch.box, and reconnect with active sync, synhronise your mails, and your messaging function will be back.

Hi
this is my first post, so sorry if i say anything stupid
I have had a long look for topics covering this problem, but can't find any, if it has been covered already would someone please point me in the right direction.
I have just updated my O2 Mini S to the latest O2 rom. Before the update in an attempt to save my text messages i copied the file "Messaging" from My Device/Windows to my storage card.
After finishing the update i copied it back into place, overwriting the (now empty) Messaging folder.
However, none of my old messages are shown in the text inbox, and all the new texts i get are lost after a soft reset.
I thought i must have done something silly with the copying across of my old Messaging folder so i did a hard reset and started again, leaving the messaging folder well alone this time, but still all inbox messages are lost as soon as i soft reset (which is something i need to do alot with this phone).
Is there a way to stop this?
Update: I have checked the messaging folder and the texts i've received after my hard-reset are still there after the soft reset, but the text inbox doesn't seem to detect them. Same applies to Hotmail inbox, i received lots of emails and the messaging folder now has over 30 items in it, but after a soft reset they are not shown in my inbox :?
Thanks for any help
I just rebooted, and now my text messages are gone! There's no "text messages" tab under messaging, and if I select a number and hit "send text message" nothing happens. Now there's an "IPM.root" folder in outlook express instead. Everything else seems fine. Any ideas?
What other software do you have installed out of curiousity?
I had a similar issue except that i didn't lose my text messaging, i lost ALL messaging. As in, I hit the button, clicked the icon, nothing happened. I ended up installing Pocket Informant as my default PIM and for messaging I installed Flexmail 2007. They are not free, but I like them a lot. One of the things I like about Flexmail is the pop/imap only works if the program is running. So if I'm sitting at my computer at work I can close Flexmail and not get redundant emails. Text messaging works as normal.
I never figured out why my messaging disappeared and found no explaination from anyone here. I've tried different ROM's, different software.

Do you have the option "store mail attachments on memory card" ticked?
If so, that's the problem.
It happened to me few times while using two memory cards, all you have to do is delete the folder with mail attachments on the card, uncheck the box, soft reset and check the box again( if you want), problem solved.
I did a hard reset last week and decided to give the standard messaging a shot. So far so good, and now that you mention it, I don't have the "Store attachments on memory card" option checked. It's been almost a week and I haven't lost my messaging.
Thanks for the heads up. Now it just pisses me off that I spend $45 on flexmail and pocketinformant when i really didn't need to.
So if it will happen again try to take out the memory card, soft reset, and put it back AFTER IT STARTED - that also worked
I really don't see a need for third party messaging application, the original is good enough.
The only thing that annoys me is unablity to copy-paste text between Messaging and any other programs, for example writing an email in Pocket Word then copying it and pasting to blank email to send it as a text, not word doc. :evil:
Does not work for hermes 200

I tried what you recommended but I still do not have text messaging as an option under my message selections. I only have outlook email, MMS, IMAP4 and yahoo. Somehow I have managed to loose the text message selection folder. Do you know of anything else that I can do? Thanks
I was hoping somebody would be able to help me :
My TYTN II has been working just fine, but just the other day my email program just stopped working. No matter where I try to open it from, it doesn't open. I can't even receive SMS messages (because it is the same program that handles emails). Also of interseting note is that PocketCM contacts, when opened loads then closes itself. None of my other programs (like Emoze) can access the email box either. I've even tried running the tmail.exe directly from the windows directory, but alas no luck.
Can anybody help?!
Anything would be helpful
same prob here. its not the first time it has happened. the previous times i had to do a hard reset in order to fix it. I do not want to to that again. please help.
If pulling your memory card fixes the problem then the issue is corruption on the memory card. To stop the problem change the setting in messaging so that attachments are stored in main memory and not the card.
My tytn II crashed today, then crashed again and again and again! I've narrowed it down to my HTC home and a weird message in my inbox, listed as 'no sender, no subject' and no file size, it just says ok. i can't delete this file from within outlook, and don't know how to get rid of it. It's not on my work computer (I use push email). If I untick HTC home things work fine, but the email is still there.
Any clues what the problem may be, or indeed how I get rid of the damned message??!!
Thanks.

I have the same issue. Im on Orange in the UK
Have deleted all messages...rebooted phone about 4 times.
Ok this wht u need to do backup only ur mssg using the PIM Backup software avalibale in the forums and then u restore them back with the option of deleting all the mssg in ur phone... I had the same problem when i did this it worked like a charm and I never faced the same problem again hope it works fer ya
Well, there's something silly that you may not have thought of.
Go to the messages tab, and press "All Messages", and then, if you see some messages whivh have title written in bold, read them by clicking on them.
Works with me, maybe your problem is different.
Well i tried the PIM backup, and i tried deleting all sms, mms, mails, manually... my message tab still says 1 message, but the message window says no messages....
Other suggestions?
