I just rebooted, and now my text messages are gone! There's no "text messages" tab under messaging, and if I select a number and hit "send text message" nothing happens. Now there's an "IPM.root" folder in outlook express instead. Everything else seems fine. Any ideas?
What other software do you have installed out of curiousity?
I had a similar issue except that i didn't lose my text messaging, i lost ALL messaging. As in, I hit the button, clicked the icon, nothing happened. I ended up installing Pocket Informant as my default PIM and for messaging I installed Flexmail 2007. They are not free, but I like them a lot. One of the things I like about Flexmail is the pop/imap only works if the program is running. So if I'm sitting at my computer at work I can close Flexmail and not get redundant emails. Text messaging works as normal.
I never figured out why my messaging disappeared and found no explaination from anyone here. I've tried different ROM's, different software.

Do you have the option "store mail attachments on memory card" ticked?
If so, that's the problem.
It happened to me few times while using two memory cards, all you have to do is delete the folder with mail attachments on the card, uncheck the box, soft reset and check the box again( if you want), problem solved.
I did a hard reset last week and decided to give the standard messaging a shot. So far so good, and now that you mention it, I don't have the "Store attachments on memory card" option checked. It's been almost a week and I haven't lost my messaging.
Thanks for the heads up. Now it just pisses me off that I spend $45 on flexmail and pocketinformant when i really didn't need to.
So if it will happen again try to take out the memory card, soft reset, and put it back AFTER IT STARTED - that also worked
I really don't see a need for third party messaging application, the original is good enough.
The only thing that annoys me is unablity to copy-paste text between Messaging and any other programs, for example writing an email in Pocket Word then copying it and pasting to blank email to send it as a text, not word doc. :evil:
Does not work for hermes 200

I tried what you recommended but I still do not have text messaging as an option under my message selections. I only have outlook email, MMS, IMAP4 and yahoo. Somehow I have managed to loose the text message selection folder. Do you know of anything else that I can do? Thanks

Well I tried PocketCM, and then uninstalled it. Now when I press the mail button or try to send a test message from a contact, nothing happens!
Does anyone know how to restore the native text messaging?

i would do a hard reset..it will clean it..i had trouble with palm threaded app on mine and i just hard reseted it..because even if i fix it some other way,everytime i send a text i will feel like what if that text is not delivered..i like the certain solution..hard reset will bring everything to factory installed version
Wow I really don't want to hard reset and loose all the software I've installed.
If no one can provide a way to reset just the text messaging I guess I will have to.
I figured other software has messed up text messaging before so there must be some registry entries or some way to fix this without re-installing the whole device.

Try to contact the developer.
Or ask for help in their forum:
http://www.pocketcm.com/
All better now. I was able to launch the Text Messaging app from a text notification dialog box and it re-asserted itself. Mail button works now. Strange.

Is there any way to get Palm's threaded messaging to work on the Tilt?
I tried the cab from the Hermes forum, which sorta worked, but it removed "Text Messages" from the main Messaging app. On the home screen, there were two lines that both said "No new text messages", one would bring me to the main Messaging app and one would bring me to the threaded view.
Also, I could not use the dpad to flick between the three. I could only choose "Email" or "MMS".
I was able to uninstall with no issue, but I would really like to see this work.

It does work. The other messaging is for the EMAIL. You should of just left it on and tried to get a txt message.
You got a quick link to the one on Hermes? I had a Palm 750 and kind of liked that feature. Would like to try it on the Tilt.
Found it....

I did leave it on and sent several text messages to myself to enable the threading.
The "Text Messages" option disappeared from "Messaging". They were no longer linked. Messaging ONLY showed MMS, Outlook Email and New E-Mail Account. I would have to leave Messaging to get to the home screen and pick the other text message option.
Once I uninstalled it, "Text Messages" was back in place under Messaging.
If you don't believe me, I can get a few screenshots to show you...
I've installed (on Tilt w/Kaiser ROM) from link above without any problems. Works like a charm!

i had the same result. i rely on the HTC Touch quicklink to get me to the text messaging now. its still better than clicking twice to get where i need to go but you're right it removes it from the messaging page. the hard button also takes me directly to my outlook email box which i dont use either which is unfortunate. like i said i rely on the Touch interface to get me to the txt msging.
fortunately i dont need any of that other crap - just txt messaging.

Sure it works... but does it remove "Text Messages" from the Messaging app like quazimoto have described?

yes thats how it works!!!! you dont need to have that option there. it makes its own text messaging program. Why do you need it to be there on messaging thats what I dont understand ?
because the other messaging buttons take you there by default -so when the other buttons take you there you're at a dead end.
thats why
So change the buttons in setting --- buttons
I like it.... BUT, I keep getting the "Out of Memory" error when I try to send a pic. I don't know if it happened to others, but my MMS feature along WITH my messaging feature went away when I installed the program. Does anyone know if a fix for this? I NEED the MMS feature to work.

Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment

It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

Anyone ever encounter a problem with messaging not opening? It's as if the program is just missing, but I don't receive any kind of error message.
I have network access, but selecting either email or text message, results in no action.
Everything was fine until a day or two ago. I'm wondering if I inadvertently deleted something.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem a while back. I found the answer in this forum somewhere.
Just delete the inbox folder on your storage card and you're good to go. Don't ask me why, it just works. This folder is then recreated automatically.
Let me know if it works for you.
Regards,
MAC
Check and see if you have multiple inbox.mst**** directories on your storage card, erasing these made my messaging work again. Not sure if you will lose your email though.
Worked like a charm - thank you.
yeah i have the same problem..i dont even have a way to send out txt msges. All that is there is email..no sms..i deleted the two inbox things but nothing happened. Someone please help me i cannot receive or send text msges...HELP
I had a similar problem had no email or text messages.. ended up deleting cemail.vol in the root directory and then setting up my emial again.. then it worked.. of course I lost everything I had in my email box... so maybe backup cemail.vol to another directory before you try...
Just delete email box on your storage(card or phone), or mailattch.box, and reconnect with active sync, synhronise your mails, and your messaging function will be back.
I'm sure this is going to sound like a bizarre problem but I can not find anywhere on my phone my text messaging application. I recently installed hyperdragon IV, some spd software, pocketcm, and kaiser tweaks. I decided I didn't want pocketcm and uninstalled it and to my recollection it seems like the text message app wasn't there after that, but I'm not certain b/c I don't text that often. I've opened the messages folder and all that shows up is my outlook email and my exchange server. I'd really like to try to avoid reinstalling the rom if possible. I need some help. Any ideas?
