I just managed to solve all problems on my previous post, but now after restoring a backup while making some experiences. It appeard 2 inbox and 2 deleted items in the text message account . After that and making some more tries i restored again trying to remove and stayed with 3 inbox and 4 deleted items. I tried everything...searching the registry...all...but didn't found a way to delete them...anyone knows if this could be done without formating and installing all again...
what program do u use to back up your information on your device?
Spb Backup...but this happened when i tried to make a parcial restore after having some problems with a today app. And the backup i made after is already with the 2 inboxes and 4 deleted items. He dont replace if there is any messege in the box just creates a new one.
i believe u might have backed up your messages n emails when u did a backed up using spb backup, u shld have left out those so when u restore them there will not b any problem
Already tried twice deleting and not that's why the inbox number and deleted items number keeps increasing...There were an app for WM2003 that was clean mail made by spritebackup for a problem with the inbox that stoped working after a backup. What that app did was cleaning Messaging and the device restored it on the reeboot but unfortunally this app dont work on WM5. Is there anyway to reset the accounts?

Hi There, anybody knows what is the folder (using resco explorer)for the sms draft ?
I have a nasty bug where whenever I create a draft it is not accessible eventhough it says there is some messages on the draft folder.
I can't even delete them. :roll:
cheers.
As far as I know SMS messages are stored as files at :
\windows\messaging\*.mpb
nope, still no luck, deleted all the files on the messaging folder. still have the sms draft folder saying there is files on it.
Did you then do a soft reset ?
poutlook.exe is a background process that runs all the time.
You may need to reset your pocketpc to clkear the error.
are you saying I need to do a hard reset and reinstall from scratch ? cause I have a back up in sprite but even if I uncheck the message folder for a restore, it still giving me that crap.
No no...not HARD reset...SOFT reset...poke your stylus in the little hole on the bottom of the unit.
If that doesn't work then I have to assume that some database file (like the pocket version of an outlook pst file) has got itself out of sync.
yeah soft reset didn't resolve anything, I will hard reset later on, not this week anyway. already spent too much quality time with my Xda ( according to my girlfriend) :roll:
Same problem - items missing in folders
No items that get sent to my drafts or deleted items are visible once I open the folders. This sure is a large bug IMO. It seemed to happed after a backup from Sprite due to an unintentional hard reset (battery fell out and caused a hard reset)
Use Sprite Backup to backup everything but the offending database, then hard reset, and restore. That way, you won't lose anything else but that problematic database.
Alternatively, you can backup everything, then hard reset, then restore everything but that particular database.
Worked for me.
Clarification
Are you saying you can not get rid of this problem with deleted items and drafts witout loosing all of your SMSs? I have tried most combinations of backups and restores including use of the Sprite CleanMail tool here:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/a...il.zip&search=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0
I have found I can not selectively restore certain folders from SMS group without reinheiriting the corruptions. Also, can you pm with with the advantages/disadvantages and ropes of custom ROMs, it looks like you have all the latest goods in a unique combination. It is these kinds of bugs that make me want to explore custom ROM combinations.
Partial fix
By scouring the ipaq forums I found a partial fix: http://home.comcast.net/~relmerator/ . It cleared my deleted items properly but not my drafts folder in SMS. I asked for the source so someone can tune it up. Man this bug is driving me nuts.
I recently restored data to my phone haveing re-flashed it. I used PIM Backup to restore a backup of phone numbers, calendar entries, appointments, logs etc etc. Then I synced my phone with my computer (of which I have outlook installed which has my full address book within the app).
Following the sync with outlook (and PIM backup), i now have 2 of every phonebook entry in my phone! arghhh! What can I do? I have about 200+ phonebook entries (thus 400+ now), so deleting the duplicates one by one is crazy.
Any help, software or advice guys? (and how can i stop this happening again should I reflash, re-restore and re-sync with outlook?)
Thanks.
from PIM backup delete all conacts then re-sync again if u have the contacs in outlook if u dont have then just after deleting them restore the backup

Hello All...
I've searched high and low, googled till my finger tips are worn. I did a complete backup of my At&t tilt using the included sprite backup software, after clearing the storage and reinstalling WM6.1 I attempted to restore "email" and "pim" via my backup. Roughly 2 hours passed till the restore finished, but when I attempted to access my messages the message folder will not open. I tried restoring the complete backup and that didn't work (still no messages), I tried everything seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529023. I cannot seem to get my messages back even though the cemail.vol file is intact. Is there anything I can do? I need help!
P.S. - when I try to do a backup using PIMBackup 2.8 after restoring everything via sprite, PIMBackup tells me that no messages were found.
i bet ur smss r gone, u should have used pimbackup in the first place.
anyway, look at the bright side... u r on a clean start now!! and really, whats the purpose of storing smss several days/weeks/months old?

I was clearing out my messages yesterday but by mistake I deleted all of them ,
Does anyone know of a way to recover messages? Are they in a trash area on the Andriod disk somewhere or some app that will recover them for me ?????
I'm fairly sure that unless you did a backup, they are gone.
Hi Everyone
I am having an issue with Titanium Backup, and would like to know if anyone have had similar problem and would know how to solve that.
TB would not restore my accounts. I have notably Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts for my mails (as they are the only one apparently allowing push emails). I have made backups and restore after a change of rom, and it didn't work out for my accounts.
I read similar issues on forums, where it was advised to do a complete backup and restore.
I made the following test: I used batch, then Backuo all user apps + system Data. I deleted one of my accounts. Then batch restore (I made restore missing appa + all system data, where I selected restore data only). It did not replace the account I deleted.
Can you advise me doing something differently.
Thanks in advance for your help

Still trying to figure this out myself as well, as well as possibly somehow restoring widgets...
Have you tried (from your description it doesn't look like it) backing up apps and system data separately ? Then just restore the data
Hi guys,
Im currently facing the same issue too.
I manage to restore all apps with data including bookmarks. But it doesnt restore the actual Email accounts such as my Yahoo and gmail.
So everytime I flash a new ROM, I have to manually set them up again.
Hopefully there is a way
works for me
Hi guys, did anyone managed to backup and restore it ?
it seems like titanium backup it as when I do a full restore i find it but just can't identify which packages are involved ..
Quite sure that email alone is not enough ..
I'm having the same issue. It's accounts and sync we are after. It's not an option as far as I can tell.

Hi,
I'm having the same issue.
Just installed Vanilla Root Box 4.2 yesterday on my Galaxy S2 and again I wasn't able to restore correctly my email accounts (both IMAP and EXCHANGE "Corporate").
How I proceeded :
RomNuke
Install Root Box 4.2
Restore Accounts (data)
Restore Email (app + data)
Restore Exchange Services (app + data)
When you explore Accounts TB says it's a DB in /data/system/users/0/accounts.db.
Once I setup my email account, I can see it here.
*A bit sad that Exchange passwords are in plain text here*
So I thought that would be the solution.
But when I restore it, all but email accounts are restored.
Someone has a trick to restore correctly email accounts ?
Thanks
Up.
Unfortunatly never manage to Backup/Restore those email!!
When setting up a new Rom it is very time consumming to have to re-configure them...
If at least it was possible to restore emails + Config, and I will confirme the passwords after that...
