Also cannot move the message into the sent items folder with MoveTo

SmsMessage sms = new SmsMessage
...setup the message
...send it
smsMessage.MoveTo(SmsAccount.SentItems)

Observed on 5.0 and 6.0 and multiple devices.

Can you confirm if it appears in the SentItems folder if you call Update() after sending then MoveTo?

By default the message will not be stored in the SentItems folder if sent programmatically. In the next version this will respect the users settings in the messaging application. If save sent items is enabled a copy will be automatically written to the SentItems folder.

Update:  yes that does work.  Moves it into the sent folder.  I had it the other way around, MoveTo and then update.  That didn't work and eventually caused an unhandled native exception.

New problem:  in the sent items list view it shows [no sender] as the receipient.  When viewing the item it shows the correct "to:" number.

Does this issue also occur on both Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6?

Peter

Yes, happens on both 5.0 and 6.0.

 keep watch on this.

any update about this? 

The sender information issues should be resolved in 3.0 SP1 released late last year. Whether the message is saved to Sent Items depends on the account setting which is user accessible in the options of the Messaging application and persisted in the registry.

Peter

Ok, We will have a test and feed back soon.
