Is your SPV running like a dog? If so check this out.....

As well as the usual tricks for speeding up your spv (keytones off, never time out on the home screen and 1/2 sec delay for predictive input) the most important thing is to keep your available phone storage and available phone memory as free as possible. In explorer go to Smartphone/IPSM/MAPI, I found several files similar to the format 3800024181030102.mpb - one of which was 3.3Mb! On deleting these files it freed up 4.5 MB of phone storage memory and my phone has become responsive again!

Anyone know what these files are? I've noticed no adverse effects since deleting the culprits.

Also check out Smartphone/IPSM/My Documents and requisite sub directories and move unwanted photos and unwanted ringtones to your memory card. :D

Looked through the first dozen or so of those ISPMMAPI files and the biggest i could find was 50k, the majority being

Just worked out what the files are - Delete your emails and the files vanish, I must have had a partially downloaded email attatchment hanging around.

I guess it does make sense to go through your inbox and delete all your old emails and unwanted text messages - they do seem to add up!, don't forget to clear these from your deleted box though.

MAPI is some abbreviation for Mail.. bla bla I guess.. In fact the files ARE e-mail and SMS messages. Looking at the pattern of their appearance I believe SMS messages only result in these files to appear when it is sent to multi-recepients.

It DID a great job on my phone - straight boost!! Unfortunately the phone slows down after a while, for no apparent reason.. And there are no more files to delete in MAPI folder..

on a similar note in windows dir on the phone I have numerous message related files on the lines of MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Text SMS Protocol (received)

in total these take up 12.8 MB :shock:

Thats alot of memory just for message apps

What the hell do they all do? is this just so we can receive sms and email?

As a last bit I now have the phantom sms showing with nothing there :?

could the fault be related to any of these files?

Warning! I did this and Tennis started running very starngely. Replaced MAPI files, and all ok again.

[Guest benny]

MAPI = Mail Application Programming Interface.

No idea why messing around with files in here should have any effect on Tennis Addict though!

Hi mr moderator.... those mpb files intrigues me, specially the way the file name is randomly made. Is there a decoder for this file name so that i can distinguish its recipient/sender (of the mail/sms)

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Wow this is an old post :shock:

I do not know of any way to decode the file names.

[Guest Will]

the huge files you see are not 'really' that big.. so don't worry...

The MAPI files are also email attachments.

If someone sends me a picture attachment the only way to save the picture is to open IA Photo Album, search in mail attachments, find your picture, note the file name (32674738928738jjhjhjh3 or something!) copy this file to SD using explorer then rename it to mypicture.jpg.

[moan] Can't understand why there's no option to save objects in emails (like MMS) but O probably prefer us to spent 40p a pop! [/moan]

[Guest fraser]

Hmm. I wonder why there aren't any third-party e-mail clients yet. Would be nice if it could hook right into the phone, and essentially replace the built-in one.

I'd pay good money for a client that allowed IMAP & SSL together. Oh, and saving file attachments of course. Roll on Smartphone 2003, hope it's got a more featured e-mail client.

There's a much quicker/easier way. See my post here :wink:

thank you!

Careful about deleting your MAPI folder - if like me you have a draft mail saved as a T9 learning work around then this will be nuked by your MAPI clearout. If you are gonna do this then make sure you have a backup of the file to sync across - saves having to type all those words out again. 8)
