Hello,
I recently came across a problem on my Touch Pro 2. I cannot seem to open Individual E-Mail messages so that I may view the contents of such message. I am able to list my e-mails in Both Manila and the Messaging App (The app that shows up if I click "view Inbox" from manila). But I cannot open any messages to read them from either place. Manila DOES show the message preview when available though. I don't get any errors or anything when I try to open a message, just nothing happens. SMS still works fine. I also cannot reply to an e-mail either.
I've deleted the inbox.mst file, and the other messages storaged, and let WM recreate them, but the problem still exists. I have my message storage on my sdcard right now, so the next move is going to be to move it back to the device itself to see if that helps, but this problem started long after I had moved it to the SDCard.
Does anyone have any idea's as to what could be wrong?
I used sktools to move the messaging files back to the device, and then I deleted all the email accounts, and recreated one of them.
I am still not able to open any messages downloaded on these accounts. However I am able to open the "Welcome to Windows Mobile" e-mail message that is put in the inbox when you first setup the account... Short from a hard reset, is there anything else I can do?
I have traced the problem back to it's source, and found out that this problem may strongly have to do with the fact that I had used a cab file (located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468953&page=2 - Post 16) to replace my original stock rom htmlnote.dll with another one to fix an unreal sms bug. This however damaged my ability to open e-mails on my device.
I have attempted everything I can think of to delete this modified htmlnote.dll file from my windows directory, including renaming, deleteing, removing the system and read only properties from the file with totalcommander, and I have tried resco to do all of the above too. I cannot delete this file.
I figured if I am able to delete it, when I soft reset, the rom's version of htmlnote.dll will be used. But again, I cannot seem to delete this file.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey all,
I need alittle help, And yes I looked but nothing is giving me a clear answer in my searches and doesnt seem to be helping me find a way to do this to test things out.
I have been really annoyed with the 2.5 HTC Message Bug/Lag/Error/Whatever, and I have been searching thru the EU rom for hours/days, and I wanted to try some things out, but I've run across a problem. I am testing out possibly seeing is maybe the problem is maybe xml pages, so I want to play around with them and find the association as to why hitting the send key loads the msgs instantly while not doing so takes forever to load. I have a spare tp2 to do testing. But when I try to replace xml pages, it will deny me from doing so. for example, I was trying to replace the htcMsgbox.xml but everytime I try I get this error:
A system file name "htcmsgbox" already exists replacing old file with new file, I say yes, then I get this msg: "Cannot copy "htcmsgbox" access denied.
Obviously its a system file and cant be replace by normal means, so my question is how does one replace these files? I tried total commander to try and open the file to edit it, but that failed too. So can someone tell me how it can be done if at all? I even tried going into the bootloader to see if I could replace files, but that didnt work too, and searching here unless you hit the right keyword isnt giving me an answer.
I guess my question is how to replace any system file be it XML or exe, I know some can be done by disabling Manila, but how of the others?
Thanx for the response.
42 views and no answer? Okay then *Bump*
I don't think it's possible.
I believe that the only way to get at those ROM-locked files, is to open it up in a kitchen...and even then I'm not sure that everything is accessbile
Would the SDKCert cab allow me to replace the XML pages? I would think that when you reboot the phone and go to the home screen the Msging app isnt loaded so why would the xml pages be locked from being changed, when there is other xml pages for other apps in the system not loaded and you can alter them? I am not a programmer right off the bat, but I noticed little stupid things which knowing how Windows works would cause programs or aml pages that would normally seem okay because it runs, window would run it slower because it cant translate something that didnt even have anything to do with the mail xml page or the program, and I found a couple of xml pages that have these stupid errors and thought of replacing them to see if that could be the case, I can copy them off the phone fine, but I cant replace them to test my theories out.
Help!

You generally can overwrite ROM files with the same file name in the same directory. If you want to modify a file, copy it to your storage card, change the properties to not be "read only", then copy it back to the former location.
This won't work for any system files that are actually in use.
In your case, it appears that "htcmsgbox" is being used by the system. I think you might be able to get past this particular one by disabling the HTC notifications system. Do a search - it is a registry mod.
Okay the notification system you wouldnt be by chance talking about the events notification for sms mms email reminders would you? And I made the change on my desktop then copied it back to storage and then tried to overwrite the file, but I did change the attrib back to read only before trying to copy it back...
Most of the XML pages used by HTC is in use
sigh....
Hey guys, I hooked my brand new HTC One X up to my PC after a strange picture appeared in my gallery, it looks like a system picture like part of the phones OS. Anyway its a .db ( database file ) and its called "thumbs" i do know it belongs to the data folder on the phone but theres other files within and i dont know which the " Thumbs " file resides in usually. After hooking my Sensation up to the PC also and navigating to .data > navigator > Data > htc i find that there is also a "thumbs " file in there, am i right in thinking i can just follow the same path on my One X and place the " Thumbs " file in there?? Its a brand new phone and i didnt wanna screw around with it too much without asking someone in the know first just incase i am wrong. Any help would be much appreciated thanx in advance
Oh dear
Just delete it, it's the file windows creates when it generates thumbnail images.
It sounds like your PC is set to show hidden and system files. As mattman83 said, you can just delete the file, but next time you browse to that folder from your PC Windows will recreate it.
You might also want to turn off the option to show these files in Windows Explorer. Go to My Computer, The click on the Organise menu and choose "Folder and search options". Go to the view tab and make sure "Don't show hidden files" and "Hide protected operating system files" are both selected (see screenshot).
If you want to stop Windows from creating these files in the first place, there's a good how-to guide here:

THANKYOU!!
Thanx guys to both of you, I thought I'd maybe highlighted it and moved it by mistake. I have seen these folders before so I guess your right about my system settings but I've never actually been able to view it as a picture in my gallery.
