I have found what I believe to be the major cause for this issue! I believe all of us have dealt with the issue of the message location changing from the E:mass memory to the C drive whenever the phone is connected to the PC. Nokia’s answer is to simply go into the message settings and change it back.
Well I’m here to tell you this answer is simply not acceptable! What happens is that each time this occurs, the Nokia Messaging client creates another file on the C drive and never deletes the old one. So every time you connect the phone to the PC you get another junk file in the C drive. Obviously these files will take up space over time, especially if you don’t change the setting back to the E drive right away.
What I’ve been doing to remedy this is to uninstall the Nokia Messaging client and reinstall it. Today my C drive was down to 8.7Mb. After uninstalling the client it went up to 17.4Mb, which is a difference of 8.7 Mb. Quite a bit for an application that is only supposed to consume 2Mb of memory! After the reinstall the C drive was at 15.3Mb and after the setup of the client it was at 12.8Mb. So overall I was able to recover 4.1Mb. This was not my worst case scenario and I have recovered upwards of 8Mb by following this procedure, depending on how long I let it go.
So with all this said we currently have two options, forgo using the memory munching client all together or go through this cleanup procedure on a periodic basis which is usually once a week for me! I simply have not found a client that performs the functions as well so I am currently opting to continue with my time consuming routine for now.
ATTENTION NOKIA SUPPORT TEAM! I had identified what I believe to be a major problem with the Nokia Email client. PLEASE investigate my findings and provide a fix to this issue!!
