RIM API does not allow to access already received/sent sms-messages.

 

I tried to work with Folders, but these folders were empty for application code even there were sms messages inside.

As far as I know it can be done for email messages via class Folder and FolderListener interface.

 

For sms messages there is no such api available.

Re: How to delete SMS from inbox and sent items

You did not understand my previous post.

 

I meant that delete is possible for emails via Folder class and FolderListener interface.

 

And I do not know how can we delete sms message, because there is no object to represent sms message or sms messages list with "Delete" feature like mail folder class.

Re: How to delete SMS from inbox and sent items

Did you ever find the answer to your question?  I've been researching this and the best response so far has been that BB has a newer API coming out to handle this... the bad news was they said sometime in 2009 and today is 12/26.

This must be possible.

 

The application Chameleon is able to read incoming sms and prevent them from going into the INBOX. These sms msg do not need to be sent from Chameleon so it is not a port thing.

Re: How to delete SMS from inbox and sent items

I'm curious how they can do that on a CDMA network... Blackberry acknowledged there is no way to prevent/delete the sms from the inbox until they complete the current bug request status critical.  GSM networks are no problem.
