Was wondering if there is anyway to turn off the auto-delete messages (text and email) on the torch. My old curve 8330 had the options, but I cant seem to find it within the torch options. Any help is appreciated

Please help me, I have a Blackberry torch 9800 and when I go into options, my phone doesn't say message display, it's general text messaging options and the first thing is sent text-only Message as (and the option to make it automatic, or always sms etc,) nowhere can I find how to keep my messages. I have enough memory left too, I have phone space of 1.9GB & Mem card of 1.3GB Please help me to stop it deleting messages.x

Go into messages then press the menu key, select options, message display and actions, and near the bottom of the screen is "days to keep messages". You can select "forever" or a different period.

Messages > Options > Message and Display Actions

It is at the bottom of the screen

I have exactly the same problem - i don't see "message display and actions" option; just "general text messaging options"..... I'm coming to believe Torch has the "keep forever" option somewhere else? Please help

Thank you for your reply Huwie and J.Porter, but it's still not there it's like it's disappeared and I love my bb, but it's making me agitated as it's deleting like 3 week old messages with important information. I took it into the shop too and they didn't even know what they were doin xx

Hi guys,

I actually have the same issue on my TORCH 9800.
But my setting do say "keep forever"
I got IMAP with a google apps account.
But older messages than 30 days are just gone from the BB. They stay in google apps though.. Anyone knows what to do?

did you go to messages, bbmenu, options ,display or did yo go to text message options- that iswhere you will see general text messaging options
You are looking in wrong place
Hope this helps!!!

You might try posting in the 9810 forum. Your 9810 runs OS7. We poor 9800 folks run OS6. Good Luck

look here too:

KB11328-Email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone

There are 3 possibilities: low memory, keep settings and email reconciliation. This KB article covers all 3. The 3rd one I found to be my solution and the least obvious.
