Hello,
My Outlook Mobile Account Info has been corruptet in some way.
The email accounts, sms shows fine, is not visable when starting Messaging.
When I search with PIM manager the accounts are there and when I try reinstalling SEVEN it tells me I have reached the limit of number off accounts.
I am trying to locate the files where the account info is stored and associated emails to delete these and start over again.
Can anyone help with file name and location or if there is a tool available.
I found mailaccountrepair posted on xda but it didn't work. What I really think is the best way is youst to find the files and delete them.
Many thanks,
Hakan, Linkoping, Sweden
Hi. Do you happen to have WM6.1? It seems there is a known problem & Microsoft released a patch:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958639/en-us
"This behavior occurs because the e-mail account details are corrupted when the Windows Mobile 6.1-based device does not connect to the SMTP server."
Otherwise your best bet might be to backup what you can & do hard reset which should fix the problem but unfortunately you'll need to restore all your settings/stuff which shouldn't be too bad using activesync or a backup/restore tool like PPCPimBackup (both of which I've done numerous times from muckin up my phone so bad it wouldn't work or simply migrating to a new phone.)
If you are set on trying to recover what you got now, I think some email stuff is stored under:
My Device\windows\Messaging (I think text files of your messages & attachments)
MD\Application Data\Volatile (?)
MD\MAPI (empty on mine)
Sorry I can't say for sure what all is where & exact purpose but maybe it will head you in the right direction. I recall coming across registry entries for Messaging & MAPI too but it has been awhile. Yell if you want me to dig out my registry editor & look but again hopefully I got you started.
Hope that helps.
Bill
Thanks a million.
I ended up restoring from a fairly recent backup however I am a bit worried for it to happen again.
I am not sure if my problem was because of the known issue you mention. When researching it I also found that the patch wasn't very stable:

Anyway, a restore solved the problem for now!
Happy hollidays, Hakan
Hi guys,
Basically I am trying to selectively restore my Boss' Touch Pro, I just want to get the email settings and e-mails across to the new phone he has. I have searched through the registry and the files trying to find where the account settings are held but alas I have had no luck. Does anyone have this nugget of information?
I need to transfer the actual emails and the e-mail account settings.
Use PIM backup to get the e-mails easily (also will get contacts, speed dials, txts etc etc - but you can select what to backup / restore)
E-mail account settings can be dragged out of registry Like this But what e-mail settings do you need? normally things like that are easier to just re-input if its only a 1 off occurence.
A quick look through the mail account settings should give you all the login info you need (except the password)
ok, thats cool, I reckon I can handle that. I actually want any and all e-mail settings because the amount that my boss wants me to install new roms for him to try out means that I don't want to keep re-inputting his details into the phone. I would ideally want all information in sepperate restorable cabs or reg entries. problem with the backup software I am using is that it takes all of the software as well, so when I restore it to a newly flashed phone it restores all the crap from the previous phone...tre frustrating.
and yeah, this is a strange problem, I personally stick with a single firmware instead of jumping about...but I'm not the boss
If you're gonna be flashing roms, check out UC (in the hacking thread) or shashmi. Both should let you personalise the "post flash" install so you get the device back to how you like it quickly & easily.
message history lost - happened once or twice before - on this round perhaps due to unauthorized access - don't know why anyone would want to hack to my wechat, but...
yes, i know that titanium backup can do this - only, i happen to have a backup of the app's files from the SD card that's much later than the latest titanium backup.
so i've overwritten the message directory on the SD card
\tencent\MicroMsg\b51e1101d48c856d9e55dceeb6ea2af5\*.*
with the latest backup, but the app doesn't recognize the stuff between the titanium backup / the later files. how to force it to? how does it manage these files anyway?
(the answer to this might also help in managing the app's thousands of files in order to keep the phone functioning.)
have a try?
not knowing why your wechat got hacked, maybe you`ve got spyed by ur enemies?
I accidentally downloaded Clean Master from gp,(sorry as a new member, i`m not allowed to post a link here)
and it works well on both protecting my privacy and do the cache cleaning.
have a try?
hacking is a separate issue

Hi, have you manage to solve the problem? Im now facing roughly the same problem. I checked the wechat directory, all my conversation and voice msgs are still there. But my new installed wechat just could not recognize it, and show a blank new wechat with no chat history whatever.
How to force it to recognize it? Thanks

turns out that the message history is NOT on the files that are on the sd card - the sd card files are thumbnails, pictures, whatnot for the visual content. the messages are in an (encrypted) sqlite database on the phone's internal flash storage.
i do not know of what logic, if any, the app uses to either open the existing database (if found) or creating a new one - i've seen it do both, despite my always wanting to use the same account / database.
if i recall right, i just bit the bullet and restored the app/data from my titanium backup, thus losing a few days of messages as that backup was not up to date.
or - on the recent versions you can backup to tencent servers / restore from there - i guess primary use for that is when moving to a new phone. they only keep the backup file 7 days, and don't let you access it locally.
as for how to access the message database in a readable format, please let me know if you figure it out - weixin (at least the old version that i'm using) destroys any device it's on by not performing any housekeeping and thus clogging all the pipes until nothing works. so would be great if the message database could be optimized/cleaned/delete oldest by an extrernal sqlite app.
(the image files you CAN delete from your sd card - which i do periodically to kill the old ones.)

Hey you said you are using titanium backup, does ot work well? let me know where do I find it
Is it possible to back up wechat messages
I want to permatenantly back up wechat messages, because all messages will lost after I re-install wechat
well, that's currently very hard to do, because tencent doesn't give you (unencrypted) access to the SQL database that contains your messages, even if you use the backup functionality in the later versions of the software.
you CAN permanently backup your messages by copying the database from your phone's flash-memory (probably needs a rooted phone). but you can't access your data due to the encryption.
someone needs to write a 3rd party app that cracks the encryption (which is easy for a geek on the know, as the encryption key is based on some device iD string on your phone). then you could actually see your messages and manage them. probably some chinaman already wrote this app, we just don't know of it.
but message history does NOT get lost on re-install (at least for me) if you install over the old install, not from scratch. or, if you've backed up your messages using the apps function for that, you can restore them from their server.
but over time weixin will destroy any device it's on as the database size and image files number grow too big for your portable gadget to handle. no real housecleaning functions are available.
I miss in wechat 1 feature. Restore of mobile chat log TO windows wechat version.
We can restore mobile chat history to new mobile but WE CAN'T restore mobile chat history to windows wechat program, or can we?
It would be cool to be able to browse my mobile wechat chat history on windows pc. As it is now, my archive is empty, lacking past conversations.
And mobile scrolling to past conversations with certain people is troublesome. It has no proper archive oh right so mb an archive in mobile too?!

if i understand correctly, you want to piggybag onto an account someone else created. likely not available, even if the other user wanted to sell his/her account, as they in most cases require real-person verification these days.
but you might try to buy an account in taobao, usually everything is available there.
Thanks for your response..
No my brother... I need "friend help login"
It's option of wechat settings.
Would you please see the link below

Actually I wanna know how can I restore previous WhatsApp messages. Let me explain from the beginning, I changed the phone but I kept the database file with me. Because of some mess, I deleted the data backup which was done on my google drive via whatsapp before. I reinstalled the whatsapp, but with no new data. Now I want that messages back (Messages with a particular contact are now coming out to be important), I still have that database file. Can someone help? Please also mention how can I open and view that database file, and know the whatsapp key without rooting the phone, so that I can verify the messages.
Here is one page I found, could this help me?

There are lots of threads and posts here at XDA that discuss restoring WhatsApp backups/messages.
Use the XDA search feature to find them all, then read them and follow the steps they describe. Try them all until you find instructions that work.

Hello,
I am having a strange issue with Whatsapp backups. I did backup, but after restore from either google or local backup, it says that it simply can't restore messages.
In both cases, it's getting found. To force it to restore from local backups, I removed google account from google drive.
I had saved something like 7 local backups a month ago and 7, which was made about a few days ago.
I had 2 numbers, but all backups where made with one number. If I change number to the old one, it's not finding local backups at all.
Sounds like I was not lucky with some Whatsapp version, since all 14 local backups didn't work, which made either corrupted backups or backups with some faulty coding, encryption key or something.
I wonder, if someone had this issue.
I did manage to restore half a year old messages, luckly, I had it saved with different google account. So, some whatsapp version did make a correct backup.
Please help, I don't really want to loose my messages.
Here is offers solution to find key file and decrypt using phython, but it looks more complicated than rooting.
If I root, some sites are saying that the key encryption file can be found in /data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key.
But I wonder, if I root, will I loose that key file at all? Should it be rooted already or it can be rooted after I have the issue?
Thank you.
PS. I wish if whatsapp would allow me to choose not to encrypt it and let me manage my security myself at my own risk, instead of getting stuck like this. Lets say, saving it in txt file and I would just put in into archave with password, like with RAR.
Rooting Android doesn't delete any existing files.
Thank you for something, at least...
have you found a solution?
I have the same problem.
