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?

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 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?

Hi there
I was having some problems with my Tytn (MDA Vario 2) so did a full backup, hard reset, and reinstalled my software/contacts. I don't want to duplicate the problems I was having before so didn't want to restore from the backup.
However, the thing I would really like to replace from my back-up is my SMS history. I am using the Palm Messenger app, and I am sure that I just need to restore a specific file, but can't work out which one.
Can anyone help?

Thank you for your response. My issues is not restoring the file, but I don't know which file restore....
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.

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!

Hi - i know this question has been asked many times but I was not able to find the correct one - so is there free and working way to backup my sms messages from winmo and transfer them to android ?
I don't know if there's a program for this in winmo, but SMS Backup+ backups your SMSs to your gmail account so maybe you can find a winmo program which does the same

Yeah i know but the beta is over and i cant find download link
You're right, I didn't know. I used it a few months ago.
I have no other solution. I remember I had spent much time searching how to transfer everything and had only found that solution for SMS.
Maybe there's a way if you can export your SMS to your SIM card then import them?
Use PIM Backup to backup
Do not 'compress' and do not 'binary backup' the file.
Rename the PIMBackup_xxxxxxxx.phb to *.zip
Unpack this *.zip
Rename any *.* to *.txt to view its content and start processing cq converting it device specific further on your road *cough* success,

Hello gang,
Its been a while since I got on this site. Here's my situation; I was able to back up my sms and it was saved as a db file. I had lots of important messages and pics that were sent to me and I would like to retrieve it. I have an Android phone at the moment and installed Airdroid and sms backup & restore app, but I just can't seem to get this to work. How do I get my db files back on the Android phone and be able to see my messages?
Hmmm ...
How did you backup the messages in DB ?

Its been a while since I did this so I forgot how. I thought I backed everything up on a SD card.

Hmmm..... What kind of database is it ?
Sqlite or something else ?
Encrypted or open?
Can you upload the db here ? (or atleast the db with one record.)

I've downloaded apps to open db files and I can see some of the text but there were pictures which I can't see. All I know its all db files, has either a "exec" icon or a "document" icon.
