How do I save SMS and E-Mails?

Doesn't seem to be an option to save SMS and E-Mails. Unless I'm over looking something. I disabled TF3D and just use the original WM interface so you think that's why? When I go to menu no option to save. I thought about making a new folder to move it to, but I can't do that either.
Anyone know?
BTW - I tried to search for this but nothing came up about how to save sms and emails.

Oh yeah I forgot I had that. But with a HTC running Windows!!! Don't you think this type of thing should be built in? The easiest and simple things that we need are always missing.

try PIM Backup, works good even for email

Aren't they just in the sent items? Or do you want to back 'm up to your PC automatically?

I want to be able to save a certain emails to my phone when I need to and use it later if I needed to. I'm so use to doing this when I had my BB. I don't want to save my entire email list. Just certain ones that are important that I would need at a later time while I delete the rest.

I don't need to save too many text. But if I do, I just send it to my "Drafts" folder. I don't like how I can't save a MMS pic either. I have to email it to myself in order to save it. Unless somebody knows another method.

It may not be much help, but I can confirm that Flexmail allows you to 'save as' your messages. The WinMo PIM apps are the bare basic essentials. If you want anything fancier, you need to consider third-party software.

If they are in your t-mobile contacts I think you have to log into your account via a pc and delete them. You can als hide them from your "contacts app" view if you go int contacts' pull up your menu and hit view. Then uncheck anything that you dont want to show up in your contacts.
Not sure if any of that helps, but hopefully it will.

I deleted them from online but I guess they loaded at some point before and now they won't come off even after hitting tmobile sync (and it being stuck on eternal sync). The view thing works but only within the contacts app. From the dialer the numbers still come up and from text messaging app they still come up..so frustrating I have people numbers coming up on the dialer that I don't use or want to see or be seen and I'm stuck with them..ridiculous.

Delete them from faves.

Go to contacts and press Menu. Select view and deselect T-Mobile. Temporary fix till you go online and hopefully sort it out with T-Mo website...

Thats been done too they still come up whenever you type it in the dialer and in the text app.. I deleted them from tmobile server checked on the tmobile to sync and still nothing, they remain. I also deleted all the data from every app that says tmobile on it in the stock app manager. Its just a bug or something, I thought someone would maybe know where there data is located on the phone or something.. Im sure Ill be fine if I wipe but its a bit ridiculous thats what it has to come to.

I had this problem. I had to go into Contacts and choose to view all the contacts I didn't want. Then I deleted all of them by pressing Menu -> Delete and choosing all of them.

Silly question, maybe, but are you sure they're from t-mobile's servers? Could they be on the SIM card?
One thing I found that helped me was to open the contacts list, hit menu > view, to see which contacts are saved where and how they're linked up. I then unlinked all the t-mobile contacts and deleted them manually. Then I turned off t-mobile sync. Finally, I went online and delted all the contacts from t-mobile's crappy servers. They really have a sorry mess of old and new websites crammed together over there and need to do something about their whole system.

[Q] Handcent

So ive seen handcent all over the fourm and people talking about how great it is. So i downloaded it and i admit its amazing. The only problem ive run into is that when i get a message is shows up in handcent and the stock text program. How do i disable that so my phone only uses handcent?

In the stock messaging app, you need to go into settings (when it's open hit "menu" and then "settings") and turn off the notifications for receiving a message. Back out of it, and you should be good-to-go. I personally turned off all notifications in the stock app.

Much appreciated I though that there might be a way to totally disable the stock program because they will still pile up in there wont they?

Yea, the messages will still be in the stock one. The way I understand it though, all the messages come into/out of a single spot. The messaging programs (Handcent, the stock one, etc.) just look in that area to let you text. So you can just remove the stock one from being linked on one of your home pages, and then you never have to see it again. There might be a way to remove that program itself, but I don't know it. It doesn't bother me though since I just don't ever open it and instead use Handcent.

You could always uninstall it via adb if you are rooted. Search "how to remove bloatware (or unwanted apps)" or some variant.

Just don't delete it! LOL! Trust me! That and don't delete Facebook out off the phone either. Those were BIIIIIGGGG mistakes. LOL! I won't ever do that again. Good thing I do nandroid back ups before I try experimenting with removing stuff.

Anyone having touble with Hancent opening since 2.2? I have at least a 30 second lag when I launch, almost like a memory full issue.
I have the stock notifications off and am not rooted.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

freeze it thru titanium backup like i did! u can defrost it any time!

I've tried Handcent a few times and it seems OK but has a fatal flaw. My wife and I use txt-to-email and back. She send my a txt on vtxt.com and I reply through my SMS service straight to her email address which pops up on her Blackberry. Handcent won't sent messages to email addresses.

Evo with Facebook question?

I'm not sure i'm in the right place for this quesiton or not but anyway here goes, i currently have an Evo that i use FB on quite often, once i get into a friends profile is there any place where i can send him/her a private message? I can do this off my pc but i dont see it anywhere as an option on my phone?
thanks

I don't use facebook, but have you tried pushing menu and seeing if it brings up additional options?

I don't think so. Only way i know of is clicking messages in the main menu.

Yes, click messages, not friends to send a message. Or use touch.facebook.com in the browser.

Anyone know what this is? Kinda has me scared...(virus? Malware?)

Just randomly appeared. What makes me concerned is how there is no app name or option to view the sent data.

Not sure if you want to do this or not but usually when you hit Send Email, it pulls up a bug report through your Gmail account and you can send it from there. Inside there, you'll be able to see where that email is going and do some Googling.
There are always LBE, Avast,...that have firewalls and SMS/MMS blocks. If it didn't say SMS in the screen shot, then I wouldn't be too concerned. But it does and that means that you are probably constantly transmitting somehow. But to where............ Find that app that is sending SMS back to the Mothership and uninstall it ASAP.

Thanks woodrube. I clicked the "send email" button and NOTHING happened. ( I did it with all radio communications off ie airplane mode just to be safe) and since nothing at all happened... i fear. So i just rebooted the device hoping it wiped out any outstanding task something had to do. I did open systemTuner and couldnt find anything that looked suspicious under the task manager. If it comes up again after my reboot im hard reseting.. i dont care Thanks for the recommendation. wonder if anyone else will post with this same notification thingy. Oh thats also whats weird, it showed up in my notification bar and clicking it brings up that popup.
