Hi all!
I know this issue has been discussed more often than necessary, for sure. Unfortunately the only messages in this forum that i have found are too old, to help me right. :-(
I am looking for a freeware tool to export my sms and mms from the Pocket Outlook into a textfile.
I don't want to sync it, only export it.
The software should run under WM5!
Does anyone know any suitable tool?
Freeware nada, but Kai has a tool to export SMS into spreadsheet. No restore however. Dopod has a free tool to export AND restore SMS under WM5 (see attached).

Dopod SMS Backup (translated from Chinese, rename .zip to .cab, install from machine only)
PS: Willkommen im Forum!
Hey thanks a lot. That seems to be ok. Now I only need to build an import script for my database.
Danke auch für's "Willkommen"
You can use Jeyo software, they have 2 applications available:
- a standalone version
- an outlook plug-in
I tried to the outlook plug-in, but don't like it so much because the sms that I get can't be stored on a IMAP folder after it.
I should have a look at the standalone version when I have some free time.
For information, I have WM5 it works fine with it.
SMSbackup by Dopod
SMSbackup is a great tool. Only problem is that it looks like sms in folders created under root "text messages" (example : archive/perso, archive/admin, ...)
Apparently, only inbox and sent items are saved.
Anyone got a solution to backup all the folders?

I dont have that problem, i have Inbox and then under that i Have another sub folder but it backs up the sub-folder too!
Ya just did a test and went 4 deep before i gave up as a good job, backed up and restored back to
normal!!!
Check to make sure that in the option that you have all folders selected!
does anyone know how to get this to work with WM6??? it says it is not made for this.
hi all,
Am new to this and apologise for this silly question.
I just did a backup and the file is something like this 2007-1-24-22-21-9-0.sms.
So does it mean I will have to do a full restore to see all these backup sms on my dopod ?
Not sure how this works. Appreciate any advice
TIA!

Where exactly is this option to select sub folders???
When I opn the program, there is only a MENU option associated with the LEFT softkey.
When I click on that... all I can see is
1) ABOUT
2) ACTION --- Backup, Restore and Delete
3) EXIT
When I click on Backup under the Actions menu, there are only 2 check boxes
1) STORAGE CARD
2) STORAGE (Not selectable for the Wizard)
That's... there are no other options. The soft keys at this point have OK and CANCEL respectively. Where do you see the option to backup sub-folders??
M question also!

I have the same question!
I've used once... and I think it didn't got the sub-folder... and I didn't saw any option to select or to ask for the backup of the sub-folders.
BUMP... How do you backup Sub Folders with this?
I found it works well, I dont have sub folders. But it dosent do the MMS. Is there a product that will back up all of the messaging?
Just having problems with my MDA Vario and wondered about backing up my text messages however the .zip file which is avail to download appears to be corrupt! Anyone have another version of the file they could post?
Cheers

Why don't you lot try PIM Backup v1.5
It backs up sms, mms & more (contacts ect), the output files are xml
Heres a link to the thread (the download is on this page)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=pim+backup
If anyone tries it post your opinion on how well it backed up texts/mms with attachments/in sub folders. Thanks.

I tried it, SMS backup/restore was perfect... however my MMS seemed to lose their attachments (yes, I did tick the save attachments checkbox!)

Hey folksthnx for attaching the Dopod SMS Backup.
Could someone check it out though. Think the zip might be damaged.
Take cäre - Holla
Hey Lucas,
Thanks for sharing the great software.
really appreciate if someone could guide me through.
Here are the steps i took to install the SMSBackupEN101.zip but it was unsuccessful.
1) Download and convert SMSBackupEN101.zip to SMSBackupEN101.cab on my PC.
2) Connect Phone to PC through active sync 4.5.
3) Move SMSBackupEN101.cab to Storage card by the following path:
My Computer >> Mobile Device >> My Windows Mobile based Device >> Storage Card
4) Use FILE MANAGER in my phone to open SMSBackupEN101.cab
I got this error message>> "Installation of SMSBackupEN101.cab was Unsuccessful The installation is not intended for this device"
I'm using Dopod Smartphone 577w. Running on Window Mobiles 5.0. does anyone know what went wrong?

Can I use the Jeyo SMS Backup to restore the SMS from O2 Trion?
I back up my SMS with Jeyo SMS Backup from my O2 Trion, But restore on the Treo 750, there is nothing. As I know the SMS backup tool of treo 750 is Jeyo Backup, so any idea?
FYI, the sms file of treo750 is PalmMsgV001, stored in windows folder.
Periodically I copy (myself or scheduling) this file on sd card.
When you must restore it, just copy and overwrite this file in windows root
Can I rename the backuped file from Hermes to PalmMsgV001 to restore it?

SPB Backup 1.6.1 is the best

This is also an error with Spb Backup. I found this fix on the Spb forums for it. You might follow the registry string I've posted and substitute the Sprite Backup name where it has the Spb name in the string and see if it works for you.
"unable to read from file \windows\compimeh.dat" is present when backing up WM6...
With your favorite Registry editor, go to:
HKLM / Software / Spb Software House / Spb Backup / SkipErrFiles
Create a new String: Name: 6 Data: %Windows%\compimeh.dat
Problem solved

Backup Problem
Program I'm using is Sprite Backup 5.1.0 Build 1447
This is what I get in the log:
\warning : File could not be included \windows\compimeh.409.dat
&
\warning : File could not be included \windows\btdisk.tmp
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Couple of questions:
~How important are these files?
~Should I use this regedit for both files?
~Should I use the Exclusion Rules with in Sprite Backup?
~Will excluding these files make for a painful restore?
HELLO [sorry for my bad english]

Else do you know a free software witch do that?
Thanks

PIM Backup is the best
I am going to do a hard reset and want to know if there is any way to save certain things to restore them later. I want to save the following:
1. Test Messages
2: Call History
Is there any way to do this and what do I have to do to restore them back after the hard reset? Thanks.
A little bump for this.
Use PIM Backup. Works great.

Thank you.
I dont't think pim backup can store the msg of your treo..
but you can backup the file PalmmsgV001 (into windows folder) on your sd (or pc)
then you can restore it after hard reset

Thanks! Is there a similar file for the call log history so I wouldn't even have to install or use the PIM backup program? The text and call log is all I care about...
yes palmVol.vol (recent calls list) and pim.vol (Contacts, calendar and call history )
-into main directory-

Thank you very much uvz.
Does anybody know in which file SMS dictionary is stored? It's not in pim.vol, palmmsg.vol, palmvol.vol.
Thanks!
Would like to view txt messages on my PC
Thank you for posting the PIMbackup utility!! It seems to have worked great! Is there a way to look at that information on your PC vs restoring it to your phone?
Thanks again!
