I was wondering if it's possible to copy my received sms/mms messages to my PC? There doesn't seem to be an option in Activesync.
I used to use this program: www.mobiledit.com to backup my messages on my old Motorola V3, but that program doesn't (yet) support smartphones, typical!
So if someone could tell me HOW, or if there is any 3rd party software that can do it?
Thanks!
Apparently Kai's Mail+SMS Backup .Net will do it.
I've never used it though.
I think this is the sort of functionality that should be pre-built. The ability to export any settings and messages to a data-file on a PC (or the storage card) ready to be restored after a hard reset/ROM upgrade.
I use Jeyo Mobile Companion to backup sms, unfortunately it cant handle mms.

Ahh that looks like just the thing im after, thanks! Pity it doesn't support MMS though I wonder if that's planned in a future release....
EDIT: Damn i just looked again, and the latest version was released in August 2004! :'(
I'm looking for a solution for transfert mms from a device to an other with arcsoft MMS composer ...
Well i can see a directory named "UAContents" in the My Documents directory that apparently contain all mms file but if i copy it to the new device nothing appear in the inbox or all other folders
is somebody make this successfuly ?
Jeyo pwns.
esp. with Outlook 2003... (yes, something actually works properly and flawlessly with a Microsoft product !!)
Yah that's what im using now, and i agree, it actually WORKS lol!
Although my phone has started to do strange things lately... resulting in the loss of my texts and e-mails...... i just hope it isnt linked to Jeyo!

...If you need to do backups of everything (all messages AND contacts etc.) and you're within range of a PC when you do it, Jeyo Mobile Companion seems to do a brilliant job...

restoring of messages after hard reset
Hi,
I need help on restoring my messages..I did a hard reset on my XDA IIs and reinstalled smsbackup but was unable to restore the messages back..I opened the directory where I stored my messages in my storage card (that’s where I exported and backed up the messages to prior doing the hard reset), I was able to see all the stored messages..
I’m not too sure if I did my settings right but here’s how the settings being configured:
Output directory : \storage card
Execute directory : \storage card
The 2 main .dll and .exe files were placed in \windows\smsbackup
Would appreciate if I could have your valuable advise on this issue..Thank You..
I'm getting errors with this.
xMessage:GetAttachments
Read failed.
I've got the settings right for the paths, backing up to \My Documents\Personal
Any ideas? Or have I come across a bug? Does this app have any logs that anyone knows of for tracing this kind of issue?
I've been getting the same error message ... smsBackup just doesn't seem to work on my IIs either, and I've tried installing it immediately after a hard reset just in case it was due to some other program!
When it fails without effort, it sucks
Fails on my Harrier. (XV6600). Same error messages.
I'd use Jeyo, but they don't grok folders other than the
default folders.
Ehud
Anyone know who the author is of the software and how we can contact them?
I think the failure I am getting is related to an email that contains another email as an attachment.
Re: smsBackup, smsHide, Allexport
Hello,
It will be available a new program (not a new version) in few hours: smsOrganizer!
You will be able to use all functions of smsBackup, smsHide, Allexport and much more:
· Message Blacklist and/or Whitelist
· Message Backup/Restore manually or automatic by rules/profiles
· Message Encrypt
· Export Messages
· Forward Messages automatic by rules/profiles
· Hide/Unhide Messages manually or automatic by rules/profiles
· Reply Messages automatic by rules/profiles
· Store Messages in custom folders manually or automatic by rules profiles
· Message Tone for Contacts/Category/Phone Number by profiles
You can use the smsOrganizer trial version for free.
This program is full compatible with the following programs:
smsBackup
smsHide
Allexport (messages function only)
When you will use the smsBackup and the smsHide functions then the trial version of smsOrganizer allows you free to use maximal 3 functions (rules) – perhaps one for the backup and one for the hide function. And of course you will be able to export and restore your messages too.
So please download the smsOrganizer trial version for FREE!
If you like it, you can buy the program and use all of the functions.
Download smsOrganizer!

What about reading messages from and copying messages to the simcard itself? i cant seem to find software that can do that. kinda annoying, i cant read old messages from my sim. know any software that can do that?
Well...
Hi anevemkovacs...
...to be quite honest, I've had a disapointment with SMSOrganizer...
I've been using SMSBackup for some time... and I always used without a problem... but a while ago I was forced to change to SMSOrganizer (SMSBackup told me to go get a newer version and didn't let me use it anymore).
Well... I configured SMSOrganizer... and asked it to backup my SMSs (that's all I needed)... it took me ages and I wasn't able to finish the process!!!! When I used SMSBackup the process was completed in some 15 seconds (if it took that much)... Whit SMSOrganizer it was running for 15 minutes... and the process is almost at the beggining... :O((((
Do you think this is just some bug or does the increased funcionality of this new application makes it soooo slow?
Thanks for everything...
i like smsbackup whats with the forced upgrade? i'm curious to try smsorganizer but it may not sit well with some being pushed into it. is the smsorganizer trial version also time limited?
any chance making smsbackup available again? in case smsorganizer might not work out for me (angelito seems to be having issues with it).
Well...
Hi thorne...
Don't get me wrong... For what I've seen SMSOrganizer is quite complete... and it's a nice upgrade from the SMSBackup in terms of funcionalities... however... for me is way to slow (but it may be any bug or any configuration I have on my Qtek2020).
But I do, in fact, had all I wanted in SMSBackup... it was simple and fast.
(OH!!! I still wasn't able to do that backup since SMSBackup went on vacations )
Just to inform...
Hi thorne...
I haven't tried it yet... but there's an update to smsOrganizer (at http://www.zedsoft.net/, as usual). According to anevemkovacs it will correct the problem I had... I'll try it today, later at night... and I'll give a feedback on how it worked out.
About the time limit I really don't have a clue if smsOrganizer is also defined to last a certain amount of time... but I supose so... since both smsBackup and AllExport worked like that...
EDITED [06.09.2005 23h12]
I've tried the v1.01 and everything's OK now!
And the speed is just like smsBackup... I think you can migrate to smsOrganizer without fear now...
see ya!
thanks for the heads up dude! i'm gonna give it a try over the weekend
Wouldn't it be easier to just make a full backup from day 2 day?
I've tried the smsorganizer.. there's a new version online..
The backup bug has been fixed.. I've just manage to do a back up.
Export work as well too.. It creates a txt of the sms in the specified folder.
However store feature doesn't seem to work.. but that's secondary to me..
As long as I can backup and restore plus export them out.. I'm good to go..
Hi, there is a way to backup my sms' and other things (also if the only thing I want to backup is the sms') (and mms, if possible) from WM2003SE to WM5?
I wanted to upgrade my 9090 to WM5 rom, but I need to backup these data. I don't have Outlook so I can't export sms with activesync,..
There is a way?
Let me know guys,
Bye,
Ethaniel
Jeyo Mobile Companion works a charm!
thank you mate, i'll have a look as soon as possible
It also backups sms and mms?
Bye,
Federico
jeyo doesnt do backups.
I am facing similar prob. I dont use windows but just for this task i'm installing Windows XP/Office and then active sync 4.2. Blows!
It doesn't backup? What a pity..
Anyway, I installed it now but doesn't read SMS in folders I created under Inbox, and then can't read mms (i think it's normal, as the app is ArcSoft MMS Composer, not integrated in the os)..
So can we have a solution? Sprite doesn't backup from 2003 to 2005, i asked to Technical Center.
In the way you said Can i backup sms, and MMS correctly?
or if possibile it'll be useful to know where MMS Composer stores MMS database to restore it back in WM05.
Any possibility for us?
THank you,
Federico
well, surprise, surprise, cursed activesync doesnt sync SMS messages to desktop. smsbackup / smsorganizer simply crashes. POS. I'll post here when i find something that works.

Hi,
the program can not restore the SMS, but you can install
the software on your new wm 5 device and copy the file
"mailbackup.cdb" from your old device to you new device.
Then you can view the sms.
Kai
This what the company of the program told me just now...
Maybe I'll try..
Jeyo DOES do SMS, but I don't think it does MMS.
I use it all the time when upgrading/downgrading ROMs.
However, it doesn't backup other data such as settings and internet options etc.
Hi guys,
I have gotten most of my setting over to this great phone but I am having a problem with finding a way of getting my old txt messages to my new handset.
I don't really wanna forward them on as they will not state who they were originally from.
I have tried to backup the messaging folder using Sprite backup and all that did was put the txt messages there but I lost the folders and ability to use MMS.
Can anyone suggest where I may find the files (texts) and where then to replace them on my new handset?
Ok free bump anyone know how to help with this one?
Pocket pc's save them to phone memory and read from there, unless you have a special program to do otherwise ;-)
No I have no program to do this, all I want to do is copy the old messages from my old handset to the new one.
I have tried to copy to the sim then back to phone but my old MDA Compact II does not have that option.
Does anyone know where on the phone they are stored so I could copy them over etc?
There is no simple way to copy sms messages - if you try copying the contents of your messaging folder they do not appear under text messages.
Search and you will find my friend - if you did you would of found this:
Jeyo mobile extender http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp
It will copy messages to outlook on pc then you can sync with new device
or smsOrganizer v2.10 for WM2005/WM2003SE where you can also backup your texts. http://www.zedsoft.net/
Thanks Mark just uploaded Jeyo mobile extender and it does all I am looking for so I'll enjoy the trial and may even end up buying it?

If you follow the Upgrade mode FAQ, step by step here
https://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/...earch=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0&start=0
you should be able to restore the sms messages to your MDA Compact II
Note you should make a full backup, not just the email database, but all databases
Thanks for that its good to know wish I had seen this before as I had to load everything from scratch.
Can recommend Jeyo mobile extender has a few things they can improve on but is great for txting from keyboard (PC)

I use Pocket Controller to type txt msgs from keyboard works fine for me
This may sound stupid... its me saying it
with all this rom upgradin I always seem to loose my SMS messages - even when I do back them up.
on symbian phones there is an option to save sms to Storage card by default.
Ive searched the forums and the rest of the net for a Windows mobile solution but cannot find anything... anyone aware of a reg key that can be tweaked or anything?
alternatively, which backup software works properly in 6.1???
How on earth did you lose your sms (or anything) after backing up?
I still have my sms backup from 2004. Give "PIM Backup" a try.
Pim Backup doesnt seem to work correctly on 6.1 roms... maybe it was just the version I have been using... still think it would be a funky feature tho...
PIM Backup is hit or miss with me using wm6.1..Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so I normally just delete them and restore again until it works right..

Ah, I misread your post, didn't see the wm6.1 part, sry. Have you try other options like sms organizer or jeyo?
I've tried Sprite backup and also PIM backup... I'll figure one out... but think SMS direct to SD would be an amazing feature...
Yeah I also had problems with PIM backup. I often ran out of memory before it could finish restoring. When it finally worked, it took over 4 hours to restore just my inbox.
I'm trying http://www.zedsoft.net/index.php?php=fullview.php&id=1 now
Jeyo SMS Backup 1.1 works on all WM6.1 I tried.
Jeyo mobile, works every time - get it!!!!
Do the ones u guys are suggesting they put the txt back in threaded correctly and everything? and if so got a direct link?
I know it has been asked, but I haven't really found a solution. I am looking for a way to backup and restore my SMS/MMS messages and attached pictures on WP7 (running on an HD2). Is there a way to even get to the message database, using TouchXPlorer or something, and copy it off that way? Is there an app or some other way to do it? I know Zune and/or WindowsLive doesn't back up messages.
Someone please help. I need to restore my phone, but don't want to lose my messages. Thanks!

This is a missing feature on exchange activesync. So when they get round to filling in the missing features of activesync, you will have this if you have an exchange account (2007 or later I think).
