How can I syncronize/backup my SMS to PC?

Hi All,
I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologise for repeating the question, but please can anyone tell me how I can syncronize or save my SMS's from my XDAII to my desktop PC so I don't loose them when I upgrade the Rom or do a hard reset.
I cannot believe they did not think about including this functionality, my old PDA running windows CE 1.0 was able to do it so why O2/Microsoft didn't think people would want to be able to do this is beyond me!
I have figured out if you copy the Messaging folder you get som of the sent sms's as *.mpb files which you can open in notepad but this is really an acceptable solution and I only seem to be able to see the sent SMS's not the received ones.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

someone in other post as said that doesn't work on wm5 devices..
it's true?

nope thats wrong.
I have used it for 6 months. The only hassel i had is after i installed my pc and outlook every time again i got a different hardware ID. So i used to write to Jeoy everytime i reinstalled my system to get my valid copy to work.
Sometimes the addon hangs and crashes Outlook but this are minor bugs. Nice tool so far, i have missed it to backup up my last sms. Oh and you can send sms out of the pc if the PDA is connected via active sync.
I recommend that tool.

Fantastic!
it works! many many many thx

Also works with some "cosmetic error messages":

Transfer SMS between phones?

Hi, I have upgraded from the BlueAngel to the Hermes and would like to transfer my sms across, is there any way of doing this?
I tried spb backup but it complains about missing folders with the file structure being different. Any ideas please? Thanks

bump. Any one??

If you use Outlook on your desktop, try Jeyo Mobile Extender ... it's a little clumsy, because it requires you to transfer the SMSes folder-by-folder to the desktop, then transfering them back, folder-by-folder, to the Hermes ...

Great post (even if it is 2 years old) i just managed to grab 2.5 version and it works great
The power of search is amazing
.

Does the PIM Backup or some other backup utils work? Backup on your old one, and restore only sms on your new one.

Migrate to Universal

Hello,
I just got my Universal (as M5000) from eBay, it's running WM6 already. I'd like to know if there is any way how to easily migrate all my details, settings, contacts, appointments and you-know-all-the-other-stuff from my old iPAQ5550 running WM2003. Thanks.

Exellent choice!!

My GF had a Nokia, and I was able to select all of the contacts, then sned them via Bluetooth to the X1 she had, so I'm guessing that method would work also.

Welcome to XDA-Dev
As well as EddyOS reply look at this page:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/303
You can install outlook on W7
I'm about to find out how easy/difficult it is to transfer contacts, GF has just got an HD2 today to replace her N6120c, I guess I'll be playing "guru" later tonight
I'll post back if I manage to do it.

thanks rp-x1 i'll have a go at the bluetooth route, i'm not sure the 5800 will allow,
thanks for the welcome cozzykim, i await your reply ,

Ergh, the Blackberry Bluetooth system is appalling, and people complain about the BT stack on our devices!
Sonik1 - No problem, took me a while to find it, so glad it helped you too!
