SMS and Exchange account mixed up

[Jerry-O]

My wife's SGS2 is having a strange problem. Everytime she receives an sms message it also appears in her exchange inbox with the number of the sender in the from box. If I delete the SMS thread it does not affect the copy in her inbox. It is almost like SMS is forwarding it to her exchange account. (It actually shows in outlook on her work PC as well) I didn't see any settings that would do something like this and my SGS2 does not have this problem.

Go into the account settings for the Exchange account on her phone, and turn off "SMS Sync" - that worked for me.

Worked like a charm. My exchange server does not support that feature so I would never have known to look there on her sgs2

Thanks

My setting only give option to turn off "sync contacts, sync calendar, and sync tasks". What should I select?

The option will only be there if your exchange server supports this feature. Are you getting your SMS delivered to your outlook mailbox

This is the same for my phone. I don't have that setting and all my txts go into my work email.

At my Note 2 I had the choice to sync SMS or not only at first exchange setup, later on there is no checkbox in the Options


correction:

go to the exchange account - options- again choose the account, scroll 3 pages down, there is the checkbox

just found

For all those that can't find the SMS option. Try this

Go to your Accounts > Microsoft Exchange ActiveS.. > Settings > Pick your account > Scroll down to More Settings > Scroll down and uncheck "Sync text message"

Good luck!
