certain functions that cannot be used, such as marking messages as unread, forwarding, and moving text
messages to other mailbox folders.
You can change the Text Messaging inbox to
Classic mode so that each text message will be individually

1. Tap
Start > Settings > System tab > Text Messaging.
2. In
Text Messaging Layout, select Classic.
3. Reset your device. See “Soft Reset” on page 126 for instructions on how to reset.

Talk key to display the Phone screen.
2. Tap on the Phone keypad.
