Separating emails from texts
- Hello, everyone--
I noticed someone had a similar question about separating emails from texts. Basically, I'm getting double information. When someone sends me an email - or even when I send an email - a copy of said email appears in the messages box (SMS). I have asked ATT how to stop this, and they said it's not possible. Luckily, they say I am not being charged for all these email texts.
I did what they suggested on the thread I read. I now have three icons: one for messages, one for emails, and one for SMS and MMS. I am still receiving emails in my text box, only now I am only notified by the messages folder. Nothing appears in the new SMS and MMS folder. (I used to receive notification in my email folder, as well.)
Confused! Help? Is this a lost cause?
Thanks,

2) You probably are not getting a text message for your emails.
(text and SMS are the same thing)
3) I will assume you're getting the duplicate emails when using Gmail. If this is the case, read follow the instructions in this thread and see if it stops happening.

4) All emails will go into the Messages folder as well as the individual email address folder. This is normal.Last edited by Chaz; 07-16-08 at 11:18 AM.

I have Messages, and the individual email folders, no SMS or MMS.
Will going through the hassle of an OS upgrade solve this (and yes, it's a HASSLE, as I'm on Macs, and new to BB)?03-07-09 10:51 PMLike 0 -
Open messages, then follow those instructions. You can choose to combine Messages & SMS, keep them separate or let your theme control how they are treated.
