I know what you're talking about... It's very annoying, too. I think it has to do with IMAP email accounts and autosync in WM6+

I have seen this screen on every rom i've ever tried, including stock, messaging will pop up but its just a ghost window. And as soon as I tap the phone it goes away.

I may have found a fix for this issue. I am testing now and will report back with the results....So far it seems like it is working well.

This happens to me all the time. To fix this, i simply add "messaging" to my exclusive list in the HTC task manager, so that when I hit the X-button, it really minimizes it. I don't really need to close the app because I am constantly checking email (I have activesync, imap, and windows live running all the time). Let me know if this works for you!

Thats pretty much what I am working on making a CAB for. I am adding a TerminateProcess value for tmail.exe as well as an exclusive value which keeps it running after boot up. Just as you said it the user will be able to close the program but rather than close for real, it will hide it (just like the deafult values for Opera9.exe). This really shouldn't have any effect on memory since tmail.exe is called on at bootup via HTC's BootLauncher.

The only odd thing is that tmail.exe has written registry values to keep it running in the background (hence the registry values [tmail.exe -RunInBKG]) however it seems to create a new foreground window when running the embedded code in tmail.exe as show in my debugger log a few posts back. This may be a problem which was written into the .exe itself but for now it seems like we may have a workaround to end this serious annoyance.

Just a few more roms to test it on and I will post a cab file for everyone to use!

Okay folks, for those of you experiencing this problem, here is my CABBED fix for this. If anyone is still having any issues with the phantom message window after installing this please let me know. I have tried this on 3 separate 6.5 roms with success on each. I will report back after more time goes on to follow up.

Advance to Go and collect $100.

Good work!

Haha..Thanks man! I can only say that this problem has been annoying me since I flashed to my first 6.5 ROM. Now with this phantom window annoyance taken care of, I can finally start to enjoy the new ROMS!

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) T-Mobile_Rhodium)

just found this thread and wanted thank you for the cab, but apparently it does not work for the stock 6.5. oh well, I've come to learn to deal with it.
