Default SMS Deletion

Can anyone tell me how to move read SMS into the Deleted folder? After choosing the Delete option they seem to get completely deleted, rather than being put in the Deleted folder. Is this normal? Even when going via the "All Messages" tab, the option of Move isn't available. I would like to be able to clear the Touch Flow message screen but edit the Deleted folder later.

Thanks.

True, the messages get completely deleted if deleting using touchflo. My method (to get deleted messages to deleted folder) is by going to "All messages" - SMS/MMS Inbox - Menu (bottom right) - delete. This should send the message to the "deleted folder".

But be careful, by default only 50 messages are kept in the "deleted" folder, so you might lose messages that way. You can increase this value with a tool like advanced config...

To keep the manilla sms page clean i created an "archive" folder where i move all old messages, so none get deleted and the sms page only shows the newest ones...

How did you create the extra folder? I have tried to do this but Manage Folders option in Tools is "greyed" out on mine. Might not be a problem as I've just noticed that I currently have 51 items in Deleted folder! Might not have a limit on my version but would still like to make additional folders.

How come on my version, there is NO "Extras" selection. There is no "Manage Folder" either.

This is how I worked around. Edit registry to disable chat mode.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s
Set SMSavailable=”0″ to disable chat mode (default is "1" = enabled)

Restart.

Go to "All Messages"
Menu - Tools - Manage Folders - menu driven from there.
Now you can move messages to the newly created folder including "Sent" messages. However I am not sure about the storage capacity allowed.

Method above is no good. It also kills the incoming SMS (sound) notification.

Follow this one. I've tested and works fine.

How to move message to any folder. Caution !! Do not delete from M2D. It disappears. Open the message and move it from there.
