hey all,
The only way is to remove the email app and insert it again. It will then give you options for sync. you need to uncheck the sms one. I just tried it and it worked

To stop text messages from going to your Samsung Galaxy s3 do the following:
1. Go to "Settings"
2. Go to "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" under "Accounts"
3. Go to "Settings" under Common settings"
4. Tap your email account under "Added accounts"
5. Scroll down and uncheck "Sync SMS" under "Server settings".
That should fix your problem..................................................................

Go to the email. Click the settings button at the bottom of the phone, go to settings, click on the account that you want to modify, scroll down and click on More Settings, uncheck Sync SMS.
