Sync Notes - MPE Crashes when number of notes is too many?!

Verfasst am: Fr Feb 20, 2026 07:37

Your questions:
1. Which MPE version are you currently using? Normally, you should receive the following message when creating a new note:
Please note that your phone can save maximal 5000 notes!
2. Which connection (USB, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth) are you using? Even when using Wi-Fi, 10 notes per second are being deleted on my device!
3. Which phone/Android version are you using?
4. How large is the Notes.dat file in your MPE database folder?

ANSWERS:
1. MPE version 2.0, Client version 4.10 (I've seen that message about 5000 note maximum, but only during the sync process, but haven't noticed it lately)
2. WiFi connection
3. Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973U) - Android version 12
4. 39,369KB (38.4MB)

I am only able to perform a 'sync' by disabling the Outlook part, and running a "Download entire" operation... 10,570 notes downloaded and NO mention of the 5000 note maximum. Tried setting the deletion flag on 5163 notes and it failed saying it couldn't connect to the phone between each message it was trying to delete. HOWEVER, switching to 3 months of notes (606 notes), the delete/sync succeeded quickly... I will proceed in smaller chunks and hope to finally prune off a couple or three years of notes.

That's probably the easier version.
Otherwise, you could do the following:
1. Uninstall the MPE client on your phone.
2. On your phone, using a file manager such as "Total Commander," rename the file .MyPhoneExplorer\notes.db, for example, to notes.db_alt.
3. Reinstall the MPE client, confirm access to all rights, and configure the corresponding settings.
4. In MPE on your PC, use the Blue Arrow (Download entire). No notes should be displayed!
5. Create a new notes folder in Outlook and copy only a few notes into it initially.
6. In MPE, press F2, then Synchronization => Notes/Synchronize with => Advanced => Outlook folders to synchronize and activate the new folder.
7. In MPE, force a sync from Outlook to your phone. If that works, you can now increase the number of notes by copying them from the old folder in Outlook to the new folder. I advise you to keep the number of notes as low as possible.
