Nokia Suite


Sort and manage text messages

Keep all your text messages and conversations organised with Nokia Ovi Suite’s smart groups.

Smart groups

With smart groups you can automatically organise messages in a way that suits you: by date, contact, message status or phone. Here’s how it works.

Create a new smart group

In the folder list of Nokia Ovi Suite’s Messaging view, select Add smart group. Enter the name of your new Smart Group.

Choose which messages should appear in this smart group by creating a rule using the drop-down menus under Match all of the following rules. Click Add rule to add another rule for the smart group.

You can include several rules for a smart group. For example, a smart group might contain messages that are:

  • sent to your work phone rather than your personal phone
  • dated this week
  • unread
  • from a particular contact


Manage smart groups

You can copy any smart group by right-clicking on the smart group and selecting Copy rules. Nokia Ovi Suite creates a new smart group with the same rules: edit the group’s name and select Save to create the new group. This is a quick way to create several groups with similar rules.

To edit a smart group, right-click it and select Edit smart group.

To delete a smart group, right-click it and select Delete. Your messages won’t be deleted and will still be available in the All folder.

Filtering text messages

You can also find messages quickly by using Filter to search for words in the message. To filter your messages:

  1. Select the folder of messages you want to filter – either All or one of your smart groups
  2. In the Filter messages box below the list of messages, enter the text that you want to filter by, for example “holiday”.
  3. Messages including those words appear in the list of messages. You can follow conversations in the conversation window.
