Is there a way to take it straight into the messages inbox?

Cheers

Yes.
If you want to go to the SMS Inbox you would put this:
Value data = tmail.exe - service "Inbox"

If you want to go straight to open a new SMS you would do this:
Value data = tmail.exe - service "Inbox" -to "" -body "" (note the 2 double quotes after -to and -body)

This assumes that you haven't changed the "FriendlyName" of your SMS account, if you have you need to substitute "Inbox" for whatever you chose as your FriendlyName (if you don't know what that means then you shouldn't need to change the example above!)

Awesome tip. I would assume that the other buttons have a similar reference. Would be nice if we knew what.

That cat's something I can't explain.

That one doesn't work for me I have tried the following two values:

tmail.exe - service "Inbox"

"tmail.exe - service "Inbox""

Both opf which come back with can't find "tmail.exe - service "Inbox"

Have I done something wrong? Or what might be causing the trouble?

With my phone, a C500 with the latest QTEK ROM, it doesnt do anything. I try to change the contactbutton to either inbox or new sms, but it still says contacts (and goes to contacts when pressed)

I've included some screens, maybe one of you can spot the mistake I've probably made

(it seems that tinypic images cant be shown directly on this site)

Thanks in advance..

Try \Windows\tmail.exe -service "Inbox"
Note that there is no space between the "-" and "service"

The only things that are obvious are:
There should be no space between "-" and "service"
"Inbox" might be case sensitive (capital I)

I know pzee's already done these CABs and posted them somewhere, but I can't find them right now, so the attached are 2 new CABs which...

rSoft_NewSMS_v2.CAB - Sets the right softkey to "New SMS", which opens a new blank SMS

rSoft_Inbox_v2.CAB - Sets the right softkey to "Inbox", which opens your SMS Inbox

Thanks to patbisch for the tweak, and pzee for the help working out how to make CAB files! None of the credit is mine.

Attached File(s)

rSoft_Inbox_v2.CAB (801bytes)
Number of downloads: 733
rSoft_NewSMS_v2.CAB (817bytes)
Number of downloads: 524

My T-Mobile SDA has this ability to change the right hand soft key from the Settings screen!

Very great tweak ! =D>

Do you know if it's possible to change this soft key to have directly a new blank MMS screen ?

Possible.

Try this:
1. Download zip attachment, extract then copy 'Blank MMS' to \Storage
2. Edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\Open

Set Value to "\Storage\Blank MMS.lnk" (inlcude the quotes)

3. Return to homescreen area. Tweak wont launch on initial right soft key press but is expected to launch on succeeding keypress.

This should open...
