Messaging is conveniently assigned to Button #1 as the default.
However, making it actually execute on the 8525 after a soft (or hard) reset was extremely irritating, SLOW is inadequate to describe the maddening sluggishness. Later it would be instantaneous.
My thoughts were that 8525 #1 was faulting prior to its demise at 4 weeks. After 8525 #2 displayed the same characteristic, all third party software was stripped and ActiveSync set MANUAL. Then, a hard reset.
No joy, SAME stuck-in-molasses FIRST Messaging execution. Same crisp subsequent executions.
Memory: Storage 30m+, Programs 23m+
Here's what fixed that.
1) After a soft/hard reset, execute Messaging FIRST. It "seems" to execute quicker from a Start Menu icon than a button.
2) Do NOT close it (uses about 1.5meg). Thereafter, Button #1 execution is instant.
3) I used SPB PPC Plus3 and set "tmail.exe" as a Close Exception. No more "oops, closed (X) the dang thing."
While not pretty, at least Messaging is no longer on my MajorWMIrritantList. Thoughts?
Perhaps Qmail will act more civil than Tmail . . . more later.
I don't know if it matters, but do you use it for sms or email or both?
Mine opens up fine on my pda, though I only use it for sms...and our devices are pretty similar in terms of memory / cpu...
Actually, I use the Messaging function for TextMsgs and E-mail (2 POP3 accounts).
I do NOT ActiveSync Outlook.
The initial execution is usually flawed (screen for Messaging only partially displays a Title Bar) IF executed from Button #1. If executed from Start Menu, it performs flawlessly AND rather quickly.
With SPB Pocket PC Plus, the Messaging (Tmail.exe) is flagged "Suspend" on X tap. Thus, it (tmail) executes instantly from Button #1 thereafter. A curious workaround, but even a HHardReset did not ameliorate the problem.

I may try Qmail to see if it works better/worse/same.
I actually gave up on email on the MDA (except for emergencies, which I handle through webmail) and don't sms much, anyway. When I had T-Mobile's Internet service for the MDA, the email just slowed me down ridiculously while downloading messages.
