outbox messages

[Guest rodnav]

mga kaSPAMyan,

i've posted this on the help and advice section but i haven't had an answer yet. sana matulungan niyo ako.

i have these 2 messages created by sms2mail in my outbox that won't synchronize with activesync. they are "unresoveable", if there is such a term. does anyone know where the in the phone are the outbox messages stored. i'd like to delete them but i can't access them much less delete in the outbox folder. are they in MAPI? any suggestions. those messages are annoying.

thanks.

this also happened to me when i used sms2email. jujst delete the unresolvable messages in the outbox from your SAP. it worked for me.

if not, you can always delete /ipsm/cemail.vol. but you can't delete this by outright deleting the file. you need to explore via async, then rename the file to something like cemail.bak. then reboot the phone. that's it!

WARNING : if you delete cemail.vol, you'll also delete the inbox.

thanks grifter

is there a way to delete it without deleting all of the inbox? i can't access the message from the outbox

might try your crepes one of these days

[Guest grifter]

hmm..

i don't think you can delete the outbox only. The files inside the /ipsm/mapi are for the sent items only.

i've heard of a windows ce database browser (for .vol files) but I don't know if it can perform database manipulation. Haven't tried it before.

do drop by our resto, i guarantee you'll be going backfor more. :)

Grifter,

lets see.

If i want to delete messages i cant seem to delete via the phone, i can delete it by deleting the cemail.vol? using file explorer. or do i need to rename first and then delete?

Will this work for mms messages too? theres this mms message stuck in my deleted folder.

thank you.

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.

[Guest grifter]

yup. that's the program dbview. :)

[Guest virgil]

yup. that's the program dbview. :)

There's a link here where you can download it. I think it's even available on mono's website.
