Can't stop outgoing SMSes being saved

[ben_gb]

Hi,

Another thing I've noticed with the Touch Diamond is that you don't seem to be able to stop Sent SMS messages being saved in the Sent folder.

There is an option under the Messaging Tools/Options ("Keep copies of sent items in the Sent folder"). I unticked this, but my outgoing texts are still being saved, so they can make up the "conversation" threads. However, I don't want to keep them.

On my Touch Cruise, having this option unticked meant that outgoing texts were not saved, but it doesn't seem to have the any affect on the Diamond.

Anyone found a way around this?

Regards,
Ben

It's probably a 'feature' to do with the threaded sms function in 6.1.

I opened my SMS folders, went to Sent Items, and clicked Menu, Tools, Clear SMS/MMS. From that point forward, my texts have not been saved in Sent Items.

Strange...I tried that, but it doesn't work for me. Still keeps the sent messages :-(

It still keeps your sent messages because they were already saved.

By changing the setting, it will apply to any messages sent from that point onwards.

Yup, I realise that...but it's still saving newly sent messages (ie even those sent after I made the change to the option and cleared all SMS messages).

the sent message was saved to my inbox and form the conversation when i clicked on it, any method to turn off this function? becoz it caused conflict with my SMS firewall, no matter how i blocked the sms, it still appeared on my inbox.
