Can anyone help, I am looking for a way to create a small application that allows the WM5 & WM6 Contacts to a .xml file. And Mabey a way to feed it to a server (FTP)
Can anyone help with this?
I am basically trying to find a way to backup massive ammounts of contaccts to a webserver for over 800 users
Just write your own tool for it
For example with .NET it's possible to interact with the contacts-file using the .NETCF classes.
.NETCF also supports XML functionality.
you do the math
Pocket SMS Manager
Hi,
My PocketSMS Manager does this. It may not export enough detail for you though. Have a look at my application (further down this thread).
If you need more fields exporting just let me know as it will only take me a few minutes to drop them in.

Hi! Does anyone know if there's a program that will work on the Universal that allows me to back up my databases (either ALL or selectively)?
I previously used DBExplorer
http://www.phatware.com/hpcdbex.html
which was excellent but the author doesn't have any plans to develop a version for WM5
Thanks
Database access seems to be quite a problem, i'm still looking for a tool that can "querry" the agenda, or beter, export appintments of day dd/mm/yyyy...
Can't help ypu with a WM2005 DB viewer, but will keep my eyes open during my search for a export tool
Thanks!
Hi,
Here are the steps I take to backup my contact list on Cingular 8525:
1. Sync up the phone with PC (Outlook)
2. Export the Outlook Contacts to Excel on the PC
3. Back up this Excel file to a secured location.
My questions is since the Cingular 8525 already has window OS and excel, can I export the contacts to Excel on my phone itself? If yes, how?

If youre talking about cutting the PC out of your process... I dont believe its possible to have WM5 export your contacts to an excel sheet. You can always store your excel contact sheet on your phone though after making it on the PC.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I was trying to get the PC out of the process. Looks like it is not possible this way.
I got one application on the net that will export the contacts to XML. I am going to try it out.
But it requires .NET compact framework 2.0 runtime. The download from microsoft site for this is 37 MB. My phone does not have that big memory. I am not sure that when I install this framework on the phone, how much space it will require.
Will try out.
Does anybody know how much space is required on the phone to install .NET compact framework 2.0 runtime?

Hi Guys,
I got the answers.
I installed .Net Compact Framework 2.0 on the phone. It requires only 1.6 mb space on the phone.
Then I installed the NS Contacts Backup software on the phone. Now I can backup my contact list to XML file and keep this XML file in a secure location.

My back is against the wall, and I'm hoping someone has a creative idea on how to do this...
I am looking for a way to purge the ActiveSync email from a Windows Mobile 5/6 device through a combination of registry or file system settings, or perhaps some application, ie. something I could do with MortScript. Deleting the PIM data (calendar, contacts, tasks) is trivial...rename the pim.vol file, force a reboot, and have another Mortscript file waiting in \Windows\StartUp to then delete the old file. Email, on the other hand, is really, really hard. You can delete the email bodies and attachments in \Windows\Messaging, but the index remains in cemail.vol. I've read about one technique to outright delete cemail.vol, but this database also houses SMS messages, making this a bad idea.
Then I found the Registry value ClientReset, located in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{GUID}, which does exactly what I want...except that it doesn't have an effect when the program that stored the email was written instead by a third party, and just borrowing the ActiveSync message store. I can set up an ActiveSync connection, wait until it starts to sync, cancel it, then make sure ClientReset=1, and re-sync...but the purpose of the project is to automate the process. It seems ActiveSync is looking in one of the *.vol files for its cue to obey ClientReset, but even if I could find the value, folder, whatever, I know of no way to change the databases through scripting.
Has anybody been able to do this, or does anyone have ideas?
Many thanks for your suggestions!

Hi, I am Zaira from Pakistan. I have been searching SMS backup for my PPC with WM5 but no real success so for as i found one but it does not backup from folders so i thought i better make one myself. I am trying to make one in .net 3.5 but i could not find any documentation of classes or APIs. Can anyone please just list down those classes and APIs that can be used to receive and read SMS from the archive.
I would be grateful and surely i will upload if i succeed in making one.

If someone just tell me where sms archive is (file name in which sms are saved) then maybe i can figure out the rest.
Dotfred PPC PIM Backup
Here's a great utility: http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm. Its probably one of the more frequently used piece of freeware by the XDA community. Works great for all WM versions even WM6.5. I've made backups and restores of nearly 12,000 SMSes flawless.
It also backups/restores Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Recent Calls, Speed Dials, and even custom file/folders. All from a portable 200KB application.
While you are on his site, checkout his Task Manager. Another great piece of software.
Hello,
I'm developing a small application working with PIM. I can't find a simple way to enumerate PIM categories (or Groups as called in Manila). The only way I found is to go through all appointments, contacts and tasks and read categories from its property Categories. This works, but it is really uneffective way how to do this. Can you please suggest the better solution?
