Reliable way to backup MMS (for upgrade WM6 to WM6.1) - General Topics

I usually use PIM Backup for all of my backup needs, but it doesn't work with MMS. Does anyone know if Sprite/SPB will do a reliable MMS backup?

SPB will back up ur mms but u hv to manully back up the attachments on wm6. if u dont u hv a mms with missing attachments.

So that's just the My Documents/UAcontent directory?

sorry to bump this post, but want to upgrade to a 6.1 ROM tonight - can someone confirm that this will work?

(Q) Freeware SMS+MMS Export Tool for WM5?

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).

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?

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

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)

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?

Restore SMS?

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?

Can anybody post their WM 6.1 Threaded SMS files?

I have a T-Mobile Shadow and would like to use the new wm6.1 Threaded SMS program on it.
Can anybody post/attach their WM 6.1 Threaded SMS files?
In wm6 the SMS program is under \Windows and the files are:
tmail.exe
tmail.lnk
tmail.manifest.xml
tmailutl.dll
Thanks in advance!
...anybody?
Here you go enjoy
I managed to copy only 2 files. the other are protected anв can not be copied.
please guide on how I camn copy them for you
I Hope that is what you are asking for
good luck
I'm been trying to backup the original files and have the same problem.
tmail.exe and tmailutl.dll can't be copied and those are the files that I need to port SMS 6.1 to a WM6 device.
I'm been trying to kill the mail process using Celetask but it doesn't work.
Thanks anyway!
Will this help you out Freddy? It was ripped out of the Palm Treo and made to work with AT&T. Here is the link to the page with the download for the cab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376738
I can try it but one of the things that I liked from the wm6.1 version is that it is part of the OS. I've seem other SMS treaded software that need to be running in the background for it to work.
How is the Palm version?
Can it be used with T-Mobile?
I have heard of a lot of people using and liking that better than wm 6.1. threading.
Can I get one?

Just made own ROM WM6 with tmail.exe from wm6.1

In ROM you can change system files, so made own ROM.

Hi freyes01, so did you ended up successful with that cab file? Or is this project been abandoned and went straight into a ROM update instead??
WM6.1 comes with default threaded SMS, U can any time disable it, by going to HKLM\Control Panel\Microsoft\Inbox and set SMSAvailable to '0'
