Retrieving SMS from Nokia 6600 is not possible

[Matti Lattu]

Hi

According to some discussions in the Nokia dev forum and my own testing 
it is not possible to read SMS from Nokia 6600.

The phone reports only folders SM and MT, but not relevant folders (e.g. 
IN). In 6600 you cannot route incoming SMSes to SIM memory. According to 
discussions in the Nokia forum there may be similar problems with other 
(early?) S60 devices.

This may also be the reason for gnapplet halting after trying to 
retrieve SMSes as reported years ago in the gnokii mailing lists. 
Confirmed with gnapplet 0.6.2. http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?15395

To save some hours of other tweakers I thought it would be good idea to
report the 6600 shortcoming in gnokii wiki. It appears that the write
privileges are limited. If anyone with update access has time to
update information the relevant pages are:

http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Gnapplet_driver
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Nokia_6600

I would suggest an addition to 
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Gnapplet_driver. "You can edit 
gnapplet.ini on your phone to change the timeout (set it to 0 to 
disable)" could be "You can edit gnapplet.ini on your phone to change 
the timeout (set it to 0 to disable, -1 to indefinite)"
