Hi all,
I have an odd issue. In my text messages I have several messages that I cannot delete. All of the messages are blank, and dated Dec 31 1969. I use the default messaging app, but I tried to see if Handcent would allow me to delete, no luck.
I looked through my phones files using Root Explorer, but couldn't find anything that looked like it pertained to texts.
If anyone knows where I might find them, or knows a way I can delete them...without doing a complete wipe, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Glenn

Hello all,
I'm using the Shogun WM6 Threaded Messaging app. I have recently received some extremely important text messages that must be retained. I do, however, have an insatiable addiction with flashing new ROMs.
I am trying to figure out where the messages are stored so that I may copy them to my storage card. I know there are apps like PIM Backup, but I'm not sure if they're compatible with the Palm-style threaded messaging. I would think that this app changes the actual storage location of the messages...
Any help would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated.
Thanks!
I have resolved this issue!
You can back up your messages by copying a file called "PalmMsgV001" from the \Windows\ directory to any place on your Storage Card. You can restore your messages by copying the file back over to the \Windows\ directory after flashing a new ROM.
way to search the forums this was covered 59595959595959993493939 times already
Not only did I try searching the forums using Google and XDA (found nothing), but I actually figured this one out on my own through trial and error.
Thanks for your helpful reply.
Here is a better solution for you.. i am going to get with the developer and have something added to this little app, but check this thread...

I'm hoping someone can help me out here, but I sent a lot of text messages trying to win tickets to a concert. I've since delted all the text messages, but it still shows there's one in the inbox. I cleared out all the text messages and email. I reset the phone three times now and even took the battery out, but it still says there's one message in there. It's not a big deal, but i'd hate to have hard reset the phone just to get that off there. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed
Same problem for me since 2 weeks !!! didn't figure out how to fix it !!!! except a hard reset.. which is something i don't want to do..
if someone has an answer... welcome !!!
Ive found the answer!!!
Ive found a fix if you guys haven't already and it doesn't involve a hard reset.
I'm having this same problem, could you please post the fix?
This is just an FYI to anyone else having this problem. I tried quite a few different things and none of them worked. I got the FixUnreadCount.exe from Raven, and that didn't solve the problem. I went into the registry and tried a few different things, including the changing the SMS and MMS counts to 0. That would work for a little while, but as soon as I would get another text message, the count would go back up for two messages that I couldn't see. I even completely cleared my inbox, but the count still showed two unread messages.
What I ended up having to do was disable threaded messaging (see the FAQs for how to do this) in order to see the two messages that were there. They didn't show up in threaded messaging, but when I went back to a regular inbox with all of my messages pooled together, I was able to see two text messages with no sender (not sure how that happens). I deleted them from there, cleared them from the "Deleted" folder, and then re-enabled threaded messaging. At that point, the count was back to normal.
thanks a lot!
it works...!
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?
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.
please help me guys with your wizardry.

i have backed up with sprite backup and pim message backup but this is after i lost the sms's and emails. has the vario lost those files or stored them away as backup/archive? would anyone know if i can access my database files to see these sms text messages? what are the filenames for sms messages? i am not worried about emails i just want to get to my sms messages.
