Mail, text messaging stopped working! HELP!

jepp114 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-30-2007, 01:00 AM

For some reason all of my messaging stopped working. I can't send/receive text messages and I can't open messaging to open outlook or any of my email accounts.

I think it may be related to some startup shortcuts missing? Does anyone have a list of what is in the startup menu that I might be missing?

All I have are:

MemMaidTweaks.lnk
poutlook.lnk
SIPChange.lnk
iLock2.lnk
MemMaid.lnk

I actually lost the ability to open my mail and messaging software to... I had to hard reset, but I'm almost certain it was related to FlexMail - which had been causing me all shorts of problems.

Delete your inbox files stored on your storage card. Do not delete if it is stored in your main memory. If the inbox is stored in your main memory then you will have to do a hard reset. This has happened to me a number of times and that fix does work.

I had the same problem and deleted the inbox on the storage card and everything seems to work fine now. Anyone know WHY this problem happened? Thx.

I used to have this problem once a week. I just stopped storing mail on my card and have never had it happen since.

Haha happened to me today, Im new to the touch got it abut 3 days ago, so far minor stuff, litte lock ups, etc, but nothings perfect and the positives by far outweigh the negatives. Anyways couldve taken me 15 min to read up here instead of the 45 I spent with a tech and he didnt even figure it out, told me to return it, so when Im taking off my memory card I curiously checked again and BAM worked. Thought my card was bad but Im gonna go delete those mail files. THANKS to all.

I have not experienced any of the problems that you have had. I guess I am lucky so far.

yep I can confirm. Had nothing to do with the startup items. Its the mail attachments. Had it happen to me again today, pulled out the storage card, soft reset, open messaging. delete the files inbox files on the storage card.

Whew. THANK YOU. This happened to me once before, and then it magically (or so I thought) started working again when my sd card accidentally got formatted.
Happened to me again today, and I KNEW I had seen a thread on one of the many Touch forums that had a solution. You saved me yet another hard reset!
