That's a strange one, especially if a soft-reset hasn't brought things back to life.

Have you tried a full power down, leave for a few minutes (even take battery out) and then restart?

If even this fails there may be something more serious with the ROM.

Have you installed any third party apps since you last used it? Might be some sort of conflict....

Also do you have a storage card in the device? Do you have Messaging set to save attachments there? Could be a corrupt card stopping it from running.

(clutching at straws now)

thanks for the quick reply

it was fine till i got home from work this morn at about 130am (i was checking and replying to emails and txts till then) and no i didnt install any software for the last couple of months . Yes i have got my mem card set as the save point for stuff so you might be right i may have a currupt file on there will take that out and try a re boot .

Please let us know the outcome, you never know if it happens to someone else in the future....

Certainly a weird one!

Glad it's working but that really was a weird one!

I had exactly this problem last week - did a full reset & reinstalled/resynced everything. Prefer your fix of removing the battery for 10...

this "nasty" little issue also occurs when you save attachments to your storage card. when it happened to me, i disable saving attachments to the storage card, soft reset and then re-enabled saving to the storage card. so far no problems. curious to know if the OP was saving attachments to the storage card? glad to know you've got it fixed!

I have same problem but when i try re enable save to storage card it does not do anything unless i de select it again.??????

hi Davey - can you access everything else on the storage card ok?
could potentially be a problem with the storage card then.
if you have a backup of everything, you could put the memory card into a PC card reader and remove the "Inbox.mstxxxxx" folder from the memory card and try again, enabling save attachments to card.
