corrupt sms files

hi there

has anyone had problems with trying to delete an sms that just wont go away? all the smses in my sent folder are there but not viewable. there is one in my inbox which cannot be deleted, if i try to reply it simply says "corrupt". is there any file that i may be able to delete from the system? where are the incoming smses stored?

unfortunately the way the sms's are stored isn't very intuitive... they should be found in c:\system\Mail or e:\System\Mail. If you look for *.jpg you'll find pictures from your MMS's. If you look for *.smil you'll find the "basic structure" of your MMS's (xml, which is something like HTML)... if you look for *.txt you'll find the text parts of your MMS's... but as you will easily notice, there doesn't seem to be any specific order on the location of the files..... which sucks.... :-?
