outbox messages

[Guest rodnav]

hi spv folks

i have a problem with my outbox, there are 2 messages that i can't seem to delete and are not being synchronized with outlook. i recently ran sms2email and this came up after it. any suggestions on how to remove these 2 messages.

tnx

As long as you do not want any messages emailsent SMS saved on the phone, using Activsync

go to IPSMMAPI and delete the contents.

would this delete the messages in the outbox?

opps sorry, no I was thinking sent items.

Posted from my SmartPhone! do you know which file in the phone has the outbox messages. these messages are unresolveable items when i'm syncing with active.

Well, i've finally licked this problem after a month. And i did it without deleting all of my messages by either hard resetting or renaming the cemail.vol and deleting it.

first i have to say that i am not a techie, i never took a single computer class nor read a single computer book so what i know is just i what i learned while playing with my computer.

those outbox messages were in my phone for a month, i just ignored them. it just happened that i encountered the phantom sms problem yesterday and so i read through EMgenius workaround for this this. I thought that dbView could also work in removing those outbox messages.

i just explored the cemail.vol file with dbView.

i found pmailFolders and deleted the Outbox record there (the name is on the 3rd column) then i restarted my phone but the outbox messages were still there!

so i tried looking at those fldr******* items (where * are numbers) and found one that had 2 records and i deleted these 2 records, i assumed that these were the outbox messages as i assumed that fldr meant folder (correct me if i'm wrong here) and my outbox was the only folder with 2 messages and to be sure i again deleted the outbox record as i did earlier

and then i turned off my phone and turned it on again...

and Voila. it worked!!!! no more outbox messages

so far my phone is working well and have sent and received text messages and the email seems to be working. but i would suggest backing up your cemail.vol before tweaking with it.
