If you've got anything in your Drafts folder, it will automatically send it. Not a big deal really, unless you're doing your flashing at 6:00 in the morning and have a bunch of friends on the West coast. Then you get lots of angry texts back.

As far as the efficacy of the procedure, I'm planning on reflashing this weekend and will see if I can't do the whole thing over again. Maybe I'll even take screenshots. Wheeee!

I actually have an apache and it does not seem to be rethreading and i tried these steps any clues ... just supposed to open the sent items folder right? and does the inbox show up with no messages in it and it get repopulated once everything rethreads

I have tried this with several different PIM back up programs, and different registry settings, different patterns, leaving text messaging on/off (in memory,) and having threaded on and off.

No matter what I do, I always get the conversations out of order, with me last... and missing a LOT of texts. going to old-style SMS fixes it, but I wouldn't really call that a fix...

i know this thread is old.... but i think i just got it... using pimbackup

*no need to disable threaded, just fire up pimbackup
*select only to restore text messages
*choose only inbox OR sent (pick one)
*go!
*go to text messages and watch them sort, wait for it to finish
*go back to pimbackup
*choose only inbox OR sent (the one you didnt do the first time)
*!!!ADD OR IMPORT ONLY NEW MESSAGES!!!
*go!
*watch your texts sort again
