I am wondering if I am the only one with this issue and is there a way to resolve it ?
I sync my contacts from an Exchange server, so my SMS's are tied to the contacts on my Exchange server. I have tried SMSbackup and WPbackup with both the same results. When I restore, I end up with 2 of the EXACT contacts, If I remove one, the restored SMS thread is now dead or am unable to delete the restored contact so my only way is to remove it from my exchange server to get it to work.
I wish someone who made a SMS/Contacts backup made something so you can match up your current/sync'ed contacts with the SMS threads/Contact info. Even with SMSbackup I have the same issue. It creates new contacts, not the ones I have synced, so what I end up with is 2 of each contact. Once I clean that up by removing the dup, the SMS threads are dead. If someone by the same name replies to you, it will create a new thread.
Does anyone make such an app to match up Contacts/SMS with a contact on your phone ?
Is there a work-around to be able to sync my contacts from my server AND be able to restore SMS with out dups or dead SMS threads ?
any idea ?

I'm also curious about this since I don't actually need to sync, only backup. I don't use Outlook and I'm not crazy about FinchSync either.
I have just hard reset my device and restore the personal data (email and contacts) back.
On my TF3D, it shows that the account that I set up previously is there (2 mail icon on the right hand side), but when i tap on it to read, the account setting is not there anymore. I tried to send/received , check inbox, new mail from the TF3D interface and I am brought back to the messaging main page with no email account configuration.
Anyone have similar problem or advice? any idea on how can i delete it from my TF3D interface?
I have got similar problem as you, have you already find something to fix this? it's really annoying.
Email Accounts not accessible after Sprite Backup & Restore
I used Sprite Backup to backup the phone before I installed the update to the new ROM (5.11.502.2 WWE). When I used Sprite Backup to restore everything, my email accounts show up with unread messages, but when I select them, it automatically goes to my text messaging, as that is the only messaging account active. I tried to create a new account, named "AOL" (which was the name previously) and it told me that name is already in use and that I have to create a new one. It doesn't show up on my list of accounts, so I can't delete it. If I create a new account with a different name (but the same email address) I can access my email, but the old messages remain listed on my today screen. Any suggestions on what to do to get rid of the old accounts and notifications? When I go to Messaging > Menu > Tools > Options, the only accounts listed are Messages, Outlook E-mail, and New Account. Thanks.

Use Microsoft My Phone to backup and restore your PIM data.
I wanted to know if there is a way around or trick to prevent duplicating contacts/appointments/tasks everytime I flash my vogue
and connect/sync to MyPhone and then sync with Outlook?
Sorry if this was asked elsewhere...could find it!
Thanks in advance.

I found a simple solution... Flash your device. Sync with MyPhone. Delete Outlook personal folders file and create a new, empty one (easy way to just delete everything from Outlook). Then set up sync between device and Outlook, voila - all your data goes first from MyPhone to device, then from device to Outlook.

Create new Contacts folder
The syncronization between WinMo with Outlook via Activesync regarding the contacts is done using the default Outlook contacts folder. So, what I use to do is to create another contacts folder and move there as many contacts as I want not meant to be sync'd. This way, I achive what I want, and keep intact all the remaining contacts, which you can move back and forth as you please, any time.
However, my understanding of "syncronization" is not all these tricks (I know that sometimes there is no other way) but a single utility that syncs, echoes, replicates or whatsoever. From this point of view, I would like to reiterate the original question: Is there "something" to sync My Phone with Outlook?
Thanks.
FWIW i have the same issue with my Xperia connected toOutlook and a mail2web Exchange account. The only commonality is my Xperia in the middle and the only working solution has been to clear out the Outlook Calendar and Contacts before resynching, after allowing time for the OTA Exchange to finish.
Hello,
I'd like to know if it's possible to recover sms messages who are not realy deleted but moved from deleted items to inbox.
The messages were send with another simcard but stored in my deleted items. Then I tried to move the messages to my inbox. I wanted to save them but after moving them to the inbox they were gone. (Where does WM 6.1 store the messages?)
can anyone help me please?!
with kind regards,
Michel.
So android seems to have this inherent limitation with respect to Groups. i.e. in order to set a group ringtone, or have my groups displayed in Launcher Pro widgets, I need to make a contact on the Phone, assign this Phone contact as part of a group, and then link the Phone contact to an existing contact (Gmail, corporate, etc.).
This works but it is a pain in the neck to update to new ROMs as there is no easy way that I know of to backup and restore this information. I tried an export of my contacts before flashing and the export went fine. However, this forced me to export ALL of my contacts including the GMAIL and corporate ones. When I imported the contacts (after upgrading ROM), I imported them all to the PHONE which created duplicate entries for all the GMAIL and corporate contacts that got re-synched.
Does anyone know of a better solution for backing up and restoring only the PHONE contacts and groups? If there is no good solution, is there enough interest to justify development of an app to do this?
