"Messages" wouldn't run

Hello,
incredible but true, on my P3600 "Messages" would not run any more.
I cannot access the whole Messages software (inbox, draft,...): no sign of life clicking on the icon (the envelope), neither from Start->Programs->Messages nor from SPB Phone Suite.
Calendar and Notes in Pocket Outlook continue working well.
So now I cannot access to email nor SMS.
When I send an SMS from another mobile to my P3600, I see the P3600 screen becoming active (only the brightness) but no notify message appears. It seems that the Messages software doesn't load in memory any more even if I click the "tmail.exe" file in file Explorer
I am using WM5 (with official ROM) and in last days I have upgraded Pocket Plus to 4.0.1; I also use other SPB software as Phone Suite (1.1.1), Weather, ...
Unfortunately there are no changes removing Pocket Plus
Anyone faced a problem like this?
Thank you

Are you storing attachments on the miniSD?

Yes
the SD (Sandisk 2GB) seems to work
do you know how to modify the settings? I couldn't reach them because they're in Messages.
thank you

I'm not sure if that's the cause of your problem, but my Mail directory got corrupted once and messaging refused to start, like it happens to you. Try to rename the directory to Mail_ so that messaging recreates the dir again. You can change the attachment storage location on the messaging options.

thank you Apoc,
anyway yesterday evening I made an hard reset. I have tried to install a backup but the problem arose again so I decided to re-install all without backup.
I take your advice for the next time...because re-installing all I had on my P3600 there is a chance to face the same problem soon
thank you, really

I have same problom...
Please help

Did you try to run mailaccountrepair? You can download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328467&page=2

This worked for me. Thanks!!

Did you store the messages' attachment on SD?
if you haven't fix the problem with mailaccountrepair, you could try formatting the miniSD (first copy all the files on your PC).
I have read this advise on another forum
It seems that it could be a problem of corruption of the attachment stored on SD.

I try to make a list of action from the Apoc's advice:
1. Using file explorer, rename the directory (probably on your SD) where Messages store the attachments (from "Mail..." to another name)
2. soft-reset
3. try to access Messages again (the envelope icon in Programs)
4. if Massages opens, it will create a new directory named "Mail..." in which the attachments will be stored, but you will not have the old attachments in Messages
Then you could try to copy the files that are the dir you have renamed to the dir that Messages has just created
if Messages doesn't open, try mailaccountrepair (as written by emay) or hard-reset (as I did)

Pixelated Text

Hello.
I noticed pixalated text in certain menus the other day (pics below). all other text looks good. The time when i noticed it happen was when i installed quick menu, didnt like it and then got rid of it. After that i noticed the pixelation. I did a restore to a previous state (sprite backup) and it did not fix the issue.
Is anyone able to clue me in on what might be happening?
Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

OK, u cant delete them because the font is in use. But these fonts can be the problem. Unfortunately I dont know how to delete it or if it will work if u will delete them. Maybe u can add some font there, but I doubt it will work. U know, when flash a new rom, in windows/font there are no files. Maybe some program add these fonts there, and this is causing the problems.

Thanks for your help. You were definately on the right path. All i did was rename the files and then delete them, soft reset, and now..... ALL IS OK.
Thankyou for your help!!!

[Q] [SOLVED]Wierd Foldernames, Filesystem Messed?

Hi all!
EDIT: Problem Solved by a reflash
I must apologies for my terrible English before i start describing the problem. (i have spellcheck, but the grammar is the problem...)
The problem is that i have some weird folders in my phone when i connect it to my computer.
The folders will not open(get a error message that the search-way is incorrectly)
I cannot delete this folders.
I think the folders take up space on my optimus 2x. BUT its also says in the computer that the folders take no Space. (Based on that my telephone is updated to gingerbread and i have only 0,88gb space to use)
I have a picture of the problem, but i cant post it cuz the antispam filter..
There are very much special-characters in some of the folders, these are the problem?
Hope someone understood the problem and are willing to help me.
Thanks

Hi! I just now finished doing this same thing...
Its pretty simple:
Just copy all the whatsapp folder to the internal SDcard and re install the app.
After you put your phone number and name, it will say it found backup file and ask you if you will like to restore all that.
Just press yes
And you got everything back to normal

Contact them
strange...
but dude if you still have the files on the side should be no worries
Send them an email to the "costumer service" of whatsapp they answer really fast and kind of know the app from inside!
Good luck!

I think the way told by #6 must have worked. It works for me, at least.
Well, put the backup files in the same position of SD card and the app will ask if you want to restore the history on your phone.
But, next time, try the normal way to backup and recover your whatsapp messages on the SGS1. Actually, WhatsApp has the options in Settings. You can even back them up via email.

duplicate files inside music folders dated 1970!

Dear all, I don't know is this a bug or what. I'm now on Miui rom with android version 4.1.1, and when I use the file explorer, I found that my music category was looking strange, as I know very well that this category should not built up to more than 1GB (not even with all my music file added up together), but now it's 3.75GB. and when I press the music category, it shows a lot of files without file names dated 16/01/1970 !!
Are these files actually exist? or is just some kind of bug? Does this take up space? Really appreciate if any one can help me here.
I tried to delete the file but failed, the system doesn't respond at all! can anyone tell me what I shall do now?

Same problem,
