Delete draft

[jeux_1]

Hi There, anybody knows what is the folder (using resco explorer)for the sms draft ?
I have a nasty bug where whenever I create a draft it is not accessible eventhough it says there is some messages on the draft folder.
I can't even delete them. :roll:
cheers.

As far as I know SMS messages are stored as files at :

\windows\messaging\*.mpb

[jeux_1]

nope, still no luck, deleted all the files on the messaging folder. still have the sms draft folder saying there is files on it. :cry:

Did you then do a soft reset ?
poutlook.exe is a background process that runs all the time.
You may need to reset your pocketpc to clkear the error.

are you saying I need to do a hard reset and reinstall from scratch ? cause I have a back up in sprite but even if I uncheck the message folder for a restore, it still giving me that crap.

No no...not HARD reset...SOFT reset...poke your stylus in the little hole on the bottom of the unit.

If that doesn't work then I have to assume that some database file (like the pocket version of an outlook pst file) has got itself out of sync.

yeah soft reset didn't resolve anything, I will hard reset later on, not this week anyway. already spent too much quality time with my Xda ( according to my girlfriend) :roll:

No items that get sent to my drafts or deleted items are visible once I open the folders. This sure is a large bug IMO. It seemed to happed after a backup from Sprite due to an unintentional hard reset (battery fell out and caused a hard reset)

Use Sprite Backup to backup everything but the offending database, then hard reset, and restore. That way, you won't lose anything else but that problematic database.

Alternatively, you can backup everything, then hard reset, then restore everything but that particular database.

Worked for me.

Are you saying you can not get rid of this problem with deleted items and drafts witout loosing all of your SMSs? I have tried most combinations of backups and restores including use of the Sprite CleanMail tool here:

I have found I can not selectively restore certain folders from SMS group without reinheiriting the corruptions. Also, can you pm with with the advantages/disadvantages and ropes of custom ROMs, it looks like you have all the latest goods in a unique combination. It is these kinds of bugs that make me want to explore custom ROM combinations.

By scouring the ipaq forums I found a partial fix: http://home.comcast.net/~relmerator/ . It cleared my deleted items properly but not my drafts folder in SMS. I asked for the source so someone can tune it up. Man this bug is driving me nuts.
