Die!!! I accidently delete many files from the c:\system\mail\ folders and the SMS settings tab and Area tab from the Control Pannel->Connections-> Messaging accounts went missing!!!! Me and my icthy fingers!!!

Anyway... i restored my phone from my last backup and THANKS GOD it's restore everything as one of the user have attempt.

Lesson to learn:
Never delete any files from the system\mail folders!! It's may delete some of the settings from the phone or worst..... crashed and dead.

:P

Edgedale - stop messing!!!

You will regret it one day!!!! :roll:

But if you ever find something really cool, let us know

As an incidental issue, but almost on thread --
I couldn't figure where all my internal memory had gone; was down to about 2MB free.

Had moved all pictures to the Duo, as with video and anything else I could find and still had a full internal memory.

THEN I discovered my email SENT items folder.
Did I really send all those pictures to all those people -- wow, must've been stoned! 😮

Deleted everything in sent items and tra-la, 6MB space arrived back. 8)

Moral: If you are short of space, delete your sent items!

As a side-benefit, it knocks about 10 minutes off the backup time as well.
