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
Recently my Tilt when in outlook inbox view started to automatically bring up the menu for a msg. Sometimes it will auto select a msg, open it, then select the senders name and open the senders contact page. When I aim writing an sms it will automatically return to the next line....
My phone did auto restart recently and after that it seems to have done it then. The only thing I have recently installed was opera and have since got rid of it.
Any ideas?
Using WM 6.1, the official T-mobile rom 3.31.114.3 NL with Rom 1.70.18.02
Today for the second time, it not possible anymore to read , write any messages.
From the today screen I can see that I have unread messages ,but cannot acces them.
#-Directly from the screen i can touch the messages but nothing happens.
#-The messaging button also does not trigger anything.
#-From the start menu I get get into the messaging screen (the one with the two options: messages and email setup), but both buttons do not work.
Just today after I sens an MMS (wich was correctly send) complete messaging stopped working.
This results also in a non working sync, active sync gives an error that the sync did not work.
Everything worked this morning....
Any ideas (besides a hard reset!!) on how I could get it to work again?
The second time you said, indeed. The first time I perfomed a hard reset....
Update: found an "answer" on the HTC wiki forum, http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1318132/Disappearing+"Messaging"+apps indeed removing the memory card and deleting the inboxes did the "trick".
Okay, yet another problem with this kaiser. This phone is acting worse then a problem child on crack since I reloaded 6 times because of me trying to get the weather in my area. Anyhow, since I gave up trying to fix the weather thing, I now have a message problem. I have deleted all messages from inbox and outbox, etc. But still the phone keeps saying I have one new unread message. I have powered the device off and also used the stylus to reset it from the bottom button, and still have no effect. What is wrong with this thing this time? Has anyone had this problem? I am running the stock HTC firmware with WM 6.1 and Update 23 of M2D Touchflo. Also have Update 20 addons installed to make things work, etc. TomTom, and other msc programs. Don't think they would effect this, since I had this setup before my phone starting to screw up.
Okay, I found the solution. If anyone else needs this then here is the website:
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/fixunreadcount.shtml
Description:
This utility fixes the unread count for every mail folder in every account on the device.
Some users have had problems with Inbox or the Today screen displaying "-1" unread messages, or displaying 1 or more unread messages when, in fact, there are none. This utility will detect and repair these discrepencies.
It's not flashy, but it does the job
Just power off device and restart it and it should be gone.
