Somehow I seem to have lost my SMS account/service on my Windows Mobile 2003
device. Can't find a way to add it back.

I need help.

how the hell did you loose it? it does not let you delete it. you have to
hard reset the device to get it back.

I don't know how in the hell it got lost. I didn't delete it on purpose. I
just noticed I was not receiving SMS messages anymore and checked Inbox and
SMS was missing in action.

I did a hard reset and got it back -- but, after restoring from a backup to
avoid re-installing everything SMS not there again after the restore.

This has happened to me as well - I never worked out how or why.  The only
way to get it back is:
-  do a hard reset
-  if your backup is a Sprite backup, untick SMS when doing the restore,
this gets the empty folders back, but your old messages are lost
-  if your backup is from a program that will not let you do a selective
restore, like ActiveSync, then restore an old backup from before the folders
disappeared.
