Hi to all,
I've a set of contact (with address, phone number, etc..) extracted from my previous phone (Siemens SL45), saved in XML and CSV format.
Does anyone knows some way or some tool to import it in the Windows Mobile contact automatically?
Thank you
umm.. look for contacts backup on here ..it will allow u to import csv files
thank you, I've tried the dotfred's PPCBckpContacts, is a good tool, but don't worked for me, because the file I've saved from my previous Siemens are in csv format, but with different fields.
The head of my csv is precisely:
No;Name;Phone;Company;Street;City;Zip;Country;Work;Cell;Fax;E-mail;Url;Categories;Other
that is quite different from the format saved of the PPCBckpContacts, so when I try to restore it the program says that is in an unrecognized format.
There's some way to make them compatible without editing by hand all my csv file?
Thank you
no thats the wrong program man.. look for "contacts backup"..

From your pc:
Make an export of your contacts in Outlook to a csv file.
To your pocket pc:
Use PPCPimBackup (see details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1189061) to load the csv file (rename it csc) and restore the contacts...
From your pocket pc:
Use PPCPimBackup to export contacts to a csv file
To your pc:
Import the csv file (rename csc to csv) into Outlook.
ps.: PPCPimbackup creates a pib file which is a zip file, so extract the contacts csc file from pib when backup is done. Do not select binary backup on the options dialog if you want to have a csc file
Cheers,

can't upgrade to WM6 - stuck with Outlook 2000
I'd like an alternative, too.
We're on Outlook 2000 for the next year here at work (corporate image, no chance of it changing) and so I can't run a WM6 device, as WM6 needs Activesync 4.5 which doesn't work with Outlook 2000.
Any alternative, or a bodge to get AS4.2 working with WM6 or AS4.5 with Outlook 2000, would be very interesting...!

Thanks so much for the quick answer! On the trip I was able to back up my contacts, and then proceed to unlock and install Mobile 6 ^^All done today on the road, unlocking and flashing twice on one battery, and then flashing Mobile 6 and installing other programs on the other.
Hi,
After searching on the forum for any soft that would be able to do this, I'm posting this thread.
I'm looking for a tool that would allow me to export all my SMS in a text file (cvs or other) that can be easily modified, read, stored. Additionaly, I'd like to be able with that tool to import such a file.
reason is that I'd like to keep my SMS readable for ever, but also that I would be able to import on my Hermes the SMS from my SE K800i (for which I've got a tool to export in readable text format)
Thanks for your help
Jeyo Mobile Extender ought to do the trick.. you can download yr sms into outlook and export it to CSV format.. Cheerios
and can I do it the other way around ?
Reimport it from a CVS in outlook ?
yup. c'est possible!
Ca c'est cool
I'll try it
thanks again

Another possibility (if you don't use Outlook, or don't want to use ActiveSync for this, or want it to happen automatically on the phone without needing to be docked) is PPC Pim Backup (also discussed here http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/299705/).
If you want a csv text file output, be sure to turn off the "Binary backup (faster)" option. The resulting file will be called <filename>.pib which you can rename to <filename>.zip and open. Inside will be a file called msgs_<date>.csm, which is a readable/editable csv file.
HTH. HAND. Cheers.
Addendum: Oh, and if you create a file called msgs_<date>.csm and zip it up into a file called <name>.pib, then you can restore (import) the messages back in too. When restoring, there is an option to either delete existing messages before import, or to just add imported messages.
I indeed already tried that one (that I run on a daily basis), but the format of the CVS file is not really correct. Some messages a spread on multiple lines if they contains carriage returns for example.
And also the message is most of the time on multiple lines, which makes it difficult to re-organise it and/or to create a file for import

Not for the letest version 2.8
I made a critical error by not having a PIM backup for all my non-SIM contacts. What I did do was make a copy of the PIM file before hard resetting my device, and this file has 584 kB. I don't know in terms of PIM files whether 584 kB is a sizable or a small file, but I do know that my contact list was not small.
When I tried to install this PIM backup on to my Advantage 7501 it didn't seem to do much of anything. It appears that all I have on my contact list are contacts that I happened to write to SIM.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there an application which can read what are apparently Outlook contacts which were stored in the PIM file? I do not own Outlook.
Many thanks,
bagua
Try opening the file with wordpad but create a copy of it fist, just in case....If you can create a csv file of it, I think most PIM software ought to import it.
Unsuccessful PIM transfer
I did make several copies of the file, but when I opened it up in WordPad, although I could see some numbers, along with lots of scrawl, it doesn't appear that all of my numbers are there!
Occasionally people do stupid things, and this was one of my occasions!

Hello need help in backing up my contacts into Excel or CSV file.
I've seen some threads here but there were no solutions
i tried downloading PIM backup application but I was not able to run it on WM6.1 since it was maybe an EXE file.
hope someone can help me with this
thanks and godbless
Download PIMBackup from here:

You have to extract the PPCPimBackupV2.8_wm2005.zip, copy the PPCPimBackup.exe to the internal storage of your diamond and start it. This should work - it works for me.
sync with computer. The contacts will be transferred to ms outlook. Then you can export by ms outlook.
hi all,
I had a SE Xperia X1 running on WM 6.5 and i backed up all my contacts using PIM backup for windows mobile. the back up file is saved on my storage card as a .pib format. I have however been understood that the only way i can transfer these contacts and texts to my new motorola milestone 2 running Android 2.2 is by the means of a .csv file.
Is there any way that i can convert this .pib file format to a .csv file format? i would appreciate any help out there as i am new to the Android OS.
Thank you
Rename PIB to ZIP. Open it and unpack file. That file (CSV) would be import to Google Contact (GMail). After that you may to synchronize your mobile with GMail and all your contact will be shown in Android phone.

thanks so much. juz a small doubt....when u say import to google contact, how about do i do it. and will my text messages be backed up as well?
thanks very much
You must to login on Gmail from your computer (www.gmail.com) and go to your contact tab. In this contact tab you have a option for import CSV file. Import it to your Gmail account, edit contact if you wish then logout from Gmail.
Then synchronize contacts from your mobile phone with Gmail. After that, all your contact will be see on your mobile phone.
Only contacts will be backup. SMS is not possible for backup.
Hint:
In PIM Backup you must set backup only Contacts without any Binary or Compressed option.
