In the StartUp folder is a file called poutlook (.lnk)
This file is loaded in the memory on startup, so it's taking up memory space.
My Question is, do we need it?
Personally I don't use my HTC Universal for emailing. So why not delete the file.
I tested some features:
- I can still use my Calendar.
- I can still use my Contacts
- I can still send and receive SMS Messages.
What is a good Task Manager Tool to monitor?
How big is it in your device? Is the space that essential? I find that once you delete these things, suddenly you may face another problem so its better to leave it alone.
What I did is cut and paste the copy of it in your SD card, just in case you need it in the future. I find it doesn't do anything on mine, so I took it off my Universal. It is not a matter of space but minimizing the files running in the background to make your Universal run faster.
Well you might need it if you do MMS or SMS, other e-mail applications are sort of addons that use the databese. (well that is what I think anyway)
I did copy it to my SD card and saved it there.
I'm also fully capable of sending and receiving SMS Messages, so no problem there.
If someone finds a problem, please let us know.

You don't need it because it is just an application to manage your mms, sms, emails, your calendar and your contacts and you can find plenty of third party equivalent programs on the internet. The real mail application is tmail, and this one you definitely need.
If you need a Task Manager, just check here you might find it interesting...

Hello,
I have a T-Mobile Dash and I need to find a way to transfer the text messages from it to my pc. Is there an open source program out there that I could use to do that with? My guess is that there are about 500-600 text messages that I need to save.

You could also use PIM Backup v2.8 is made for PPC's so bit fiddly on SP but does the job all the same, can save to storage card & copy to PC.
or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3587961#post3587961
Not exactly what you're looking for, but I don't know the reason for wanting to do this, so I thought I'd point out another alternative. Take a look at Microsofts "My Phone"... it'll syncronize your entire phone (including text messages) to the cloud. If you're doing this just for backup and restore purposes, it's easy to use. Took me a little bit to get my beta account though.

Thanks all for your tips. I ended up trying PIM Backup and it worked but the formatting of the text messages came out so scattered when I viewed them in Open Office Excel that I am unable to find a formatting that will keep the dates legible. I tried different file conversion attributes and even tried converting the file to a .pdf but with no luck. I guess its enough that the program actually backed up everything but I would really like to have some way to verify that all the data can be successfully restored after I cold reset my Dash since I have been trying for some time with T-Mobiles tech support to find a way to get my picture text messaging functioning again but they are telling me that the only way to get that to happen is to cold reset the phone and that will kill all of my contacts and text messages so I need to make sure that all of that data is actually saved and restorable before I go ahead and try. I also wanted to have a copy of all of my data should the hard drive on the phone fail at some time. Any suggestions for how to verify that the data can actually be restored?

Oh wow, this looks really interesting. I am going to give this a try too and report back. Thanks.
Just a personal opinion, but unless the texts are hilarious jokes or a guide to a hidden treasure, I don't see why anyone would have to save 500-600 texts!

PM me if you like the trial... hint hint hint
Appreciate any help with the following questions regarding SMS:
On the home screen is it possible to hold more than 25 texts on display to scroll through without having to go through all messages tab?
When deleteing messages in the all messages tab,is it possible to delete messages seperately when you have multiple messages from the same person.I keep deleteing whole "conversations" rather than just one or two that I don't need to keep.(hope that makes sense)
And finally,is it possible to add another folder to the list i.e. named friends for example,as well as the standard deleted,drafts,inbox,outbox and sent folders?
Apologies if this has been asked before,but I'm all searched out on this one! lol.
you could try to change the layout of the messages, instead of threaded, you could put standard and delete one by one? I haven't personally tried this though.
Of course deleting from TF3D would delete just one message...
Thx for reply............anyone else have any ideas,even if its just to tell me it cant't be done,at least I'd know ,thx.
Bump.............any help??

Thanks for the tip on changing the message layout from threaded(I'm a complete noob and have only just found out how to do this in tweak!) I think this will solve the problem of deleteing messages I want to keep.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to/if at all possible,add another folder to put messages that I want to keep into. e.g. Friends folder,Work messges folder etc,cheers.
Hello Guys,
I just got a HTC Desire and I really like this cell phone.
But I have a problem with my SMSes.
Before, I got a HTC Diamond and I had allot of text messages on it.
So, I found a sollution to backup my SMSes from my Diamond to my new Desire.
What I did: I downloaded SMS Exporter 0.5 and made a XML file. I opened this XML file with my Desire.
Everything worked, I got my SMSes back.
But some SMSes (from the same person/number) are separeted from eachother. Sometimes I got 3 different conversations, but they all are from the same number.
So, my question is: can I join them togheter and edit my inbox?
Besides that, I got problems if I push the send button, it doesn't response (in the conversation screen). The only thing what works is to set up a new sms in a different windows.
I only have this problem with contacts who are "backupped". So, with new contacts everything works.
I really want a sollution for this
Thanks in advance,
Frank

it sounds like the backup file is either not compatible or is corrupted.
i'd recommend deleting the sms from your desire and use a different program to backup your smses to your desire
This is very much possible, but the right apps do not exist at the moment.
I (actually my better half too) have successfully transfered my 11600 SMS messages (almost 3mb uncompressed) from several generations of WinMo phones (thanks to PIM Backup!) to my Desire using SMS Exporter v0.5 and SMS Backup & Restore. However, the XML file produced by SMS Exporter is not identical to the ones SMS Backup likes to "eat", so they require considerable editing (search and replace-mania) and some knowledge of what means what in the files.
Now, there are not many programs that can export SMS as .xml for WinMo (at least that I've found), but there are loads that can backup/restore XMLs for Android. Unfortunately none have the precise same XML setup as SMS Exporter so simply importing a SMS Exporter file will likely yield errors and issues.
I wish some code wiz would have a look at this and make a working solution, it should be pretty easy, even simply some kind of script could be run on a computer, to convert a SMS Exporter xml to something readable by one of the several capable Android apps.

Hi! Use sprite transfer. It's totally free and very efficient. I used it to transfer all PIM data and bookmarks from my HD2 to my Desire. Seems to work fine to transfer from Symbian, Blackberry and WinMo to Android. ;-)

Thanks for the tip about Sprite Backup, thought it cost money, but things must have changed since I last used it years and years ago. If it works, we're golden (too late for me though)
I'm sorry, it's not Sprite Transfer as I wrote, but Sprite Migrate. It's totally free and available there:

Replace WorldWideWeb by " www "
May help others...

Be prepared for it to start hiccuping when you try to browse that many messages. I've probably sent and received about 6-7000 with one of my mates over the years (guessing 1,5-2mb worth of text), when I enter that thread from the message app the device needs to think for a few seconds Need something like "hide (not delete) older messages", but I haven't found a setting or app that can do that. Checked out Handcent SMS, it's faster browsing messages and hides older messages, only problem is, when clicking "show older", it only shows sent, not received. Sort of takes the point out of threaded SMS.

I used "SMS Migrator" (http://a.baole.org/home/sms-migrator)
Can I just ask why you want to keep all these messages? Surely all of them can't be that important! I get it if its a pretty girl, or a message that has some personal meaning, but surely you can't re read all of them!
Why don't you just create an website from the xml and bookmark the url? You could have a link for each contact then. In fact if someone wants to tell me what each xml category contains and its heading, ill knock u up something searchable in php.

My girlfriend has an unrooted dinc and needs to get a text msg thread on her laptop. Is there a way I can send them to email or another way I can forward them to my rooted dinc and get them from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated
This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but a tool like SMS Backup & Restore (from the Market) will create an XML export of your texts on your SD card. At least from there you have them in XML form where you have access.
Thanks for the reply. I found an app that backs it up to her email. I will use an app like you said on my phone. I used astro file manager on my phone and I can't find where my SMS threads are stored and this will make it a lot easier. Thanks again, much appreciated.

You can just put her e-maill address in the text app where it says to: and text it to her email.
