Unless you can get them back off the hard-drive of your PC, I would think you've lost them for good.... Have you lost the .pst file on your PC as well?

what do you do with the .pst file after you find it?
e.g.:
Install Windows and Outlook new on the desktop computer and copy the *.pst file to the outlook folder.
Or take this pst file, go to another computer with outlook and active sync installed, copy it to the outlook folder.
And then: sync
The pst file is outlooks contacts database.

When I download e-mail in Pocket Outlook, I can see the attachments but I cannot open or save them. I think I'm doing everything as I should: after a "send/receive" the message arrives in my inbox; I hit "mark for download" to get the full version including attachment, and I click send/receive again. But after that, when I click the attachment or tap-&-hold it and click "save as", nothing happens.
Strangely, the attachments do get downloaded to the Windows/Messaging/Attachments folder, where they reside in the form of ".att"-files with long codenames. I can even open them by changing the extension (for instance to ".doc" for word files), but this is a pain as I have to copy them to another folder and try every single file since there's no way of recognizing them by their file names.
I have restored from a Sprite Backup once or twice, and since I understand these mailboxes are pretty complicated structures to recreate, I'm wondering if this could have caused the problem.
I have the following mail boxes in Pocket Outlook:
Text messages and MMS (standard)
ActiveSync, with a LOT of synchronized messages, all without attachments though (to save space)
Two e-mail accounts, one POP3 and one hotmail (with Adriansoft's HTTPmail plugin). This is where I sometimes need to download attachments. These messages usually get deleted pretty quickly, as I store everything in Desktop Outlook and keep my online mailboxes empty. However, I've noticed that even attachments from deleted messages are kept in the Windows/Messaging/Attachments folder.
Operating system is Pocket PC 2003 SE.
Has anyone had this problem before? As I don't have any attachments I need to keep (none in ActiveSync folder, and the POP3 and hotmail accounts are emptied into Desktop Outlook regularly), do you think it's safe to delete all the files in the Windows/Messaging/Attachments folder? Would this perhaps help (by forcing Pocket Outlook into a "clean start" organizing attachments)? Hard resetting and rebuilding from scratch is not an option, I'm afraid, as I use my device intensively and don't have the time to do this.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi Robrecht
I have been having the same issue.
Have you mannaged to fix yours yet?
What you can try if you have restored using SpriteSoftware before is using there cleaning software. It will basicly clear and reset all your mail folders, attachment databases..etc..etc.

Please let me know how you go and if you have found a way of fixing your problem if you have already done so... This file did not fix my issue but is has fixed others with attachment issues.

Same Problem here.
Anyone find a solution yet??
Thanks!
Change registry keys that points to attachments location
Got the same problem on my iPAQ 5550.
Don't know which application setup caused the problem, but I found a solution changing some registry keys that points to attachments location.
First of all I suggest to backup your pocket pc data.
Open windows notepad or other text editor
Copy and paste the following lines:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Attachments]
"BottomDir"="Attachments"
"MiddleDir"="Messaging"
"TopDir"="Windows"
"AttsDir"="\\Windows\\Messaging\\Attachments\\"
"Moving"=dword:00000000
Save the file as FixAttach.reg (or choose a different name mantaining the .reg extension).
Copy the file on your pocket pc, and tap on it.
Let me know if it works.

You have multiple options and it depends on what you exactly want to keep.
All contacts, apointments and tasks are stored in the pim.vol on the root of the ppc.
1) Just copy this file on your sd card using resco explorer. or from Windows Explorer via ActiveSync. If you have to make a restore, just rename the pim.vol in the root directory, copy back your backup, do a soft reset and delete the renamed file.
2) use spb backup from spbsoftwarehouse and select PIM only.
3) use ppcbckpcontacts which will create a csv file, that you can edit on your pc with Excel.
Cheers,

I've been flashing my vario ii for ages now and normally. just resync with my outlook to get my contacts etc back.
HOWEVER, the last time i flashed my phone with the latest wm6 rom, i didn't back up before. so i have a copy of the pim.vol file on a storage card, but when i copy this back over the original in \my device\ and reboot the phone, my pim apps won't start and my phone will not connect to a t-mobile.
I need some data from this pim.vol file, can it be accessed with anything else ?

I would try to flash back to the ROM on which the pim.vol file was originally created.
Easiest way that I figured out to do it was to copy the pim.vol file to the SD card (in mycase microSD card) then go into the file explorer on the phone and goto the root directory and RENAME the current pim file to pim2 and then copy and paste the one with all my contacts from the SD card to my phone, viola, all my contacts are on there now

I did that on my tilt 2, but now my entire contacts are gone with either PIM.VOL
It doesn't recognize either one.
UPDATE: I reset it and all of my 1200 beautiful names and calls and everything else showed up.
Thanks again

Backing up and restoring the Pim.vol on win 6.5 Tilt2
To backup the Pim.vol I just connect the phone (til2) to my laptop.
The file is located at the root of the device emory. From my Laptop just with Windows Explorer I just copy and paste to my laptop and to the external memory microSD (double backup)
If the one if your phone goes bad, restore with file explorer. Rename pim.vol to pim2 and copy and paste the one on your external memory microSD to the device memory. Or get the one in the laptop.
RESET the phone and all you names and calls will be there.
Good luck

Did you try outlook (make a contact list, viewsettings to the excellookalike view and then copy paste it from your xls file. Perhaps import it in outlook? (on PC that is.)
i already try to sync FILES folder to my PC but appear dialog box like this
" Cannot copy "xxxxxx.xxx". Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that files is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type."
What should I do ?
thx b4.
SOLVED !!! >>> unplug USB > delete all device at active sync > re-sync again ... !!!
hmmm.....that's a tough one, maybe you should try and make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that files is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type

sure i did that, considering i just installed Pandora 9b1 which mean there's 81 Mb free !!!
Can you copy directly from explorer, in that it's only a symptom of using the syncing function?
Are you running XP or Vista?
I posted in the other thread, but if it's during activesync, that's a tough one. Could it be that the synced files were from 6.0, and now in 6.1 it's trying to write to a secure location?
Might try to create a new sync and backup new files, then restore them to see if it's the general sync activity or syncing overall.
