SMS Deletion - Touch 3G General

Can anyone tell me how to move read SMS into the Deleted folder? After choosing the Delete option they seem to get completely deleted, rather than being put in the Deleted folder. Is this normal? Even when going via the "All Messages" tab, the option of Move isn't available. I would like to be able to clear the Touch Flow message screen but edit the Deleted folder later.
Thanks.

True, the messages get completely deleted if deleting using touchflo. My method (to get deleted messages to deleted folder) is by going to "All messages" - SMS/MMS Inbox - Menu (bottom right) - delete. This should send the message to the "deleted folder".

Thanks, You've solved the problem!

But be careful, by default only 50 messages are kept in the "deleted" folder, so you might lose messages that way. You can increase this value with a tool like advanced config...
To keep the manilla sms page clean i created an "archive" folder where i move all old messages, so none get deleted and the sms page only shows the newest ones...

How did you create the extra folder? I have tried to do this but Manage Folders option in Tools is "greyed" out on mine. Might not be a problem as I've just noticed that I currently have 51 items in Deleted folder! Might not have a limit on my version but would still like to make additional folders.

How come on my version, there is NO "Extras" selection. There is no "Manage Folder" either.

This is how I worked around. Edit registry to disable chat mode.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Set SMSavailable=”0″ to disable chat mode (default is "1" = enabled)
Restart.
Go to "All Messages"
Menu - Tools - Manage Folders - menu driven from there.
Now you can move messages to the newly created folder including "Sent" messages. However I am not sure about the storage capacity allowed.

Method above is no good. It also kills the incoming SMS (sound) notification.
Follow this one. I've tested and works fine.

How to move message to any folder. Caution !! Do not delete from M2D. It disappears. Open the message and move it from there.

Add folders to sms messages

Dear Group, if i start messagers, then look under SMS i have inbox, drafts and so on. Is it possible to add an additional folder so i can store texts from different people into separate folders?
Or better still, is there a program that will automagically filter them out into different folders depending on the sender?
Many Thanks
Bring up the messaging app, go to SMS, then Menu -> Tools -> Manage Folders.... and when the Manage Folders window comes up, tap and hold the "Text Messages" at the top of the folder tree. "New Folder" should be the first item in the menu. As far as a program to filter, google probably knows more than I do.
Excellent! Thank you very much, much appreciated

Can we keep deleted texts from going in "deleted items" folder?

I am trying to find a way to permanently delete texts from my inbox. I do not want them to go into the "deleted items folder".
So, when I delete a text msg from my inbox, I want it to be gone permanently.
Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
Killabee44
got it
I thought this would be neat
i found in the reg DWORD called TrashEmpty it was set to 1, i changed it to 0 and then BAM! what we were looking for
I set it back to 1 and messages were going in my Deleted items again
It was in Current User/software/microsoft/inbox
if memory serves me correctly
You found it!
Thanks! It was in Current User/software/microsoft/inbox/settings
change trashempty value to 0
Then soft reset.
You da man killafunkinmofo!
awesome tip. i always found that annoying. but i think the options allows you to choose the setting for when the deleted items folder is emptied. Its under the Storage tab, if you set it to "immediately" you should also solve the same problem.

Go to SMS any folder. Then tap Menu>Tools>Manage Folders... Tap and hold on any folder and choose "New folder"
Hope this helps.
are you using a threaded SMS style? or the classic inbox?
if you are using the normal classic inbox, (in the inbox/messaging appication) go to menu (right soft key)>tools>mangae folders> then tap and hold a folder (for example inbox)>a pop up menu comes up and then tap on New Folder...
it's a bit tricky and hidden (no actual menu entry) so most doesn't know this even exsists..

I'll add to this..
If you have WM6.1 with threaded style Inbox, you can disable threading first (do search how) and then you can "manage folders" to add a New Folder.
After which you can enable threading again.
ahh thanx, the problem was the THREADING. Cos the "new folder" option was greyed out.
thnx ppl
Do You know maybe appkication, which will autamatically (similar as in mail clients) put sms to ritght folder according to rules (phone numebr, subject etc.) ?
Thanks in advance.
Easy Helper SMS Security takes certain messages to a seperate program, which can also be password protected
You set rules for the filtering, ie names, numbers, keywords etc

Bulk Delete Emails

One thing that annoyed me about the iphone was having to delete every individual email to clear the inbox. Then, you'd have to go into the trash folder and start manually deleting them from there too. WM was great for this, you'd just hit "clear inbox" and they would all dissappear. hurrah!
Android/hero seems to have copied the stupid iphone method. or... am i missing something? is there a better way to delete items from the inbox?
In the Mail app, press the menu button and select delete. Then you are able to select multiple messages to delete in one go

Yeah, thats what i'm refering too. If you had 50 emails you'd have to tap each one individually to delete it.
No, you don't.
When you are in the screen to select which messages you want to delete, click Menu again. It will give you the options to Mark all or Unmark All. This way you can delete ALL messages in one go. Remember that the Menu button changes screen over screen, many hidden functionality is there

Notification, Delete Emails, not available

Can anyone tell me why there is no delete email in the notification area on the S4???
When I slide the Notification down after getting emails I have the option of Archive or Reply but no Delete.
Is this function not available in the S4???
Alan
I believe the only way to delete emails is to go into the email app, click the button at the top to bring up the side bar, select show all folders under combined view and then you can delete them. It makes sense to not be able to delete emails from the notification bar as you could easily delete one by accident.

Just "archive" it.... gmail will send it into "deleted mail"

I'll have to try that. I always thought Archive was to store important email and they would not go to the Trash!!!
I have a couple of subscriptions to different sites and it would be nice to delete irrelevant email when they come in from time to time without having to open the app.

I assume you talk about Gmail (new version). Well, if yes, you need to go in Settings - General Settings - Archive and delete actions (first option)
