the problem:
i receive daily around 50 sms's (very soon will be twice more), with just a line in a subject -so basically i need something to export the content from those XX sms's - into a singe txt file, or maybe a excel sheet (even better), not the copy/forward/paste way i do - takes some time :/
.. and the question is: did anyone saw/used something like that? cause the most programs i checked are for backup, and save all the data (tel, date...etc.) in separate files, biut i only need the contents of all sms's saved together into a single file.
prehaps i might need some sms-parser, but didnt saw a product like that.
..so, anyone can help or i'll have to do that copy/paste for for the rest of my life ?
thanks in advance.

Has anyone found a way of saving sms messages to their pc? for both viewing or creating? I have 100s in my inbox and would like to keep them, but not sure how to do it.
Any info would be gratefully appreciated

There are some programs that apparently do this, such as SMSExport, though I've never got these to work.
The only way I've found to do it - though as the II has more memory I've not done anything with them in months now - is to use a db program such as dbExplorer to export them to a csv file. There are other posts that detail how you find the particular table the messages are in, there isn't one folder that applies across all devices.

Try Jeyo Mobile Companion. Through your pc, you can view all your past sms, all incoming sms, and reply to them. You could back up all or some of your sms, and restore them later (if you want). You could choose to make the backups in text format.
And not only that ...
You can view your call history and make backup of those.
You can make screen caps of your ppc screen.
Hope this helps.
Try this one
:lol:
Jeyo's Mobile Companion is fantastic, exactly what I've been looking for since the first XDA came out.
Finally resetting your device (which I think is a good idea once every 6 months or so) doesn't mean you have to lose all your text messages.

Yes, I agree it is fantastic .... But it doesn't yet allow you to save SMS subfolders
Hi,
Prior to upgrading to 2003SE, I copied the contents of the Messaging folder to my PC and then back again after the upgrade.
My belief that this would retain my SMS messages was wrong - is there any way for me to restore my SMS messages from the MPB files?
I've searched the forum over and over but can only usually find references to Sprite or other backup/restore facilities - they would've been fine for me if I'd used them prior to the upgrade, but since I didn't the only way I'm able to restore is to somehow get them from the MPB files.
Any thoughts?
maybe here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21681&highlight=
or you can try dbExplorer
AllExport
Unfortunately AllExport doesn't work for me. I guess I'll give dbExplorer a punt, but again I don't think that will work as I didn't use it to export them in the first place. All I have are a whole bunch of MPB files.
try google for the format and possible programs to access such files
http://filext.com/
Database gone
Turns out I should've also copied/exported a particular database file from the XDA before I upgraded the OS.
Guess I've lost it now, for whilst I have the messages themselves I don't have the message headers (they are contained in said database).
In a word... bugger.
I've got a similar problem...
I've both mpb and database but they seem to be unbound
I can see header from one side and contents form the other...but no way to recover the complete functionality...
Guess we'va lost everything!
Gone gone gone
Wow, interesting that even preserving the db and the mpb files doesn't help you out.
Strikes me as pretty stupid. Whilst I haven't used them because of my current problem, has anyone been able to export and import SMS (particularly imported to a new installation / fresh upgrade) using one of the existing programs (Sprite, dbexplorer) WITHOUT losing SMS functionality (as Sprite seems to do) or having to manually stuff around with databases? Interested for future reference (as in, if I decide to up to WM2005 when it gets relatively stable).
hi Guys!
I've bought an i-mate jasjar, and I'm selling a nokia n70.
Now the problem is how can i pass the sms from the nokia to the universal...
I don't know how i can do it. The extraction of the text is not a problem, thanks to nokia suite. I thinked that maybe some of you know how i can edit a .txt file and save it with a certain extension to make it readable for the ppc.
Or maybe i can "hack" a backup of the sms editing the text, the date of the sms and other information, but I don't know how to do it.
someone can help me?
PS i also thinked to create some email with the text and sincronize it with outlook, but the email must be "sent" from the autor of the sms and have to have the date of the sms.
PPS sorry for my english
Wouldnt it be easier to type them out on your shiny new thumb-keyboard?? test your WPM skills?
You have a choice of notes, MS Pocket Word, or messaging including email or SMS...
;-)
I know i can do it, but i don't want to make it in this way. I would like to have the possibility to read all my sms in the message board of the pda, I would like to backup all the messages in one file with sunnysoft backup manager and not to have the backup plus the folder of the txt messages...
I know I can solve the problem in a lot of ways, but I'm a little "perfectionist"
Is one of the ways I wrote possible to make?
or is there another similar way?
Vijay? Buzz??
ehm what? i don't know those programs...
Hi Man....
Try Message Saver or Message Storer on N70...extract all SMS in text format and copy it to yr Jasjar.Only thing is that u won't be getting in Inbox..but u will get the full details...viz who had sent,time amd the full SMS..seperated with the dots or dashes...
Secondly connect yr N70 to PC vi PC Suite..use file manager option and open the messages...copy them in text format with details and pass them on to yr jasjar
Thirdly u can try using Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian Phones
I hope this helps
thank you for your suggestion, but i think i didn't explain me. The problem is not how to take out the text of the message form the sms, for this i can use the nokia suite.
I've already tried Oxygen Mobile Phone (I had the oppisite problem when I passed from the alpine to the n70 and x51v - a big big mistake), and it didn't work. Well, to say the true, i didn't remember if Oxygen can convert the sms into email or not, but the computer where it was is, for the moment, a little "detroyed"...
Damn, if I would know how the sms function on windows mobile (are in only one file, one file per sms, two or more files for every sms...) and the registry keys or other things i could put it manually by myself...
For me it's ok also the indication of how to hack a backup of the message with sunnysoft backup manager or sprite backup...
ok I have an idea: I'll do a copy of the folder windows after an Hr, then i'll do a copy of the same folder after I've received an sms. The problem is that I can't copy the folder because a lot of files are in usa. What can i do?
had the same problem moving from Nokia9500 to M5000.
Just put another, say, pay-as-you-go SIM in the Nokia and forward your messages to the SIM number for your jasjar. End of sorry story!
I can do it also in this way, but it will be nothing more than the solution of the txt file...
it can be a way...
but i would like to solve this problem. With the alpine i had the same problem, and i solved by searching the file of the sms on the nokia, open it with word and edit it with the notepad.
Now, I don't think I'm the first with this problem. So there must be a guy who know what file do I have to take and edit....
searching on this forum I've found a post of vijay wich says that the sms and the other stuff are in the file cemail.vol
But he don't says how to modify or copy it: it is a system file, and if i try to copy it wm says that this file is in use...
Someone can help me?

I've understood only now that you were summoning vijay and buzz
Hi,
I have a T650i and I would like to transfer my SMS from that phone to my Xperia X1.
I've seen many threads explaining how to transfer contacts from older SE-phones, but nothing about SMS. Can it be done? I used to do use MyPhoneExplorer, but since it doesn't support WM, it's not an option anymore.
Thanks
save them to your SIM if possible!?
i remmeber older phones saving SMS on the simcard only. not sure if a winmo phone can use these
Thanks, but the problem is that I have around 900 SMS and the sim only accepts 30.
Is there any other way to do it through the PC?
900sms? i bet 5$ that u dont even need half of them oO
u should to an T650i forum and ask there. once u manage to squeeze te SMS into outlook somehow, u can probably just sync them

I write approx. 900 SMS each month and the same amount I get back. But therefore I have hardly any calls. Good for me that I've got a SMS-flatrate
According the problem:
In which file format does myphoneexplorer save the transferred SMS? It has to be possible to convert these to a usable format. Maybe it would be enough to have all the SMS as a text-file on your X1 so you can read through if needed?
I have problems with the X1 everytime I have that much SMS stored (messaging software does not open, it does not respond to key presses and so on)
MyPhoneExplorer saves the SMS archive in many formats: txt, csv, xml, html, right click and export.
I used MyPhoneExplorer to backup sms's on my K800i, i have every single sms i ever received in the K800's lifetime (2 years).
And while in this subject, i'll ask the following question:
Is there in WinMo a way to backup sms like i already do with with K800 and MyPhoneExplorer? a way to backup the sms's and save them to the computer in some readable format?
Since MyPhoneExplorer saves the SMS archive in txt, csv, xml, html, is there any way of transfering them (as sms, NOT as a text file) to the same sms inbox on the X1?
Try SMSimport. It's a freeware that imports and exports in XML. It's a simple exe that you run directly on the phone.
http://wince.nasenbaeren.net/smsimport/
You may have to edit the names of the folders in the XML to make it compatible with your X1.
You can just make an export file from it first to see the XML import structure.
Hi. I'm new to this community and I'm very impressed. Congrats
I've tried once to import SMS via SMSImport, but it always said 'Invalid XML' or sth. like that although I rearranged the order in the XML as SMSImport seemed to want it.
Has anybody solved this issue?
THX
I use OEExport. It exports to Outlook Express with the folders intact (Inbox, Deleted, Sent etc). It has an option to export to xml too, IIRC.
Question
My question, is why on earth would anyone need to keep all those SMS?
I mean, unless your girlfriend doesn't tell you she loves you enough and you need to keep the texts, or if youre keeping them for evidence (for some reason) or maybe if you have a friend like I do who gets sent joke SMSs and decides to forward 700 of them to you when he's on flatrate weekend SMS just to piss you off because your phone becomes unusable for pretty much the entire weekend.
Please enlighten me.
Would it help if I tell you that some people like to keep records of all their SMS in/out.
I had a girlfriend a few years ago that wrote down every single SMS in a notebook. No, I'm not kidding. She wasn't that much into computers obviously.

Nope, it seems it's still beyond all comprehension of mine. Do you guys also record all voice conversations you make?
I mean, keeping your text messages is hardly like keeping a box of love letters or something now is it?
I'm as much as cyborg as the next guy, I am so electronically inclined that the gadgets I carry and use will probably fuse to me one day anyway, BUT i just don't find anything anyone has to say to me by text _that_ interesting or _that_ important
I'm not taking a swing at you guys or anything, I just really would like to understand, I'm a happier person when i understand things.
Like, ok, I keep the odd text message about things people have said to me, because theyre just downright fantastic for my street cred (if you know what I mean) but that's simply because some of it is just so good, nobody would believe me if i just told them myself, even if i quoted it word for word.
I'm with you. I usually don't need to think twice about throwing away messages when doing a hard reset. Although, as you say, there are some that need to be kept safe forever.
But this is not what the topic's about.
O.k. guys, I'm convinced now. I won't spend any minute anymore in thinking about how to transfer my SMS back. 99% of all that stuff I would rather likely never need again in the future and if I really need it, it is still on my PC.
Nevertheless - thank you!
Greetz
Why backup sms ?
Some of my SMS contain info I need, I am just too lazy to save it when I get it - like an address, or rocket launch code just plain I like to have my SMS conversations available to refresh my memory in case I need it.
From time to time I want to do upgrade or other destructive thing and I don't want to loose my messages. I would like to keep a copy of all my SMS in outlook 2007 but my cheapskate uprising and empty wallet steer me out of paid software, I am going to try programs mentioned in previous posts but if someone knows about some great synchronization or transfer or WhateverYouCallIt software please keep us informed about it.
Thank you all for great site.
i think MOBILedit works for you.
google it for the main website.
hope it helped
Hi. I'd need the option to use the old Application for managing the SMS Store.
Does anybody know if it is incorporated in HD2-Roms but hidden, or if the old application from a 6.1 ROM would work on HD2?
Backgroud: I used to created subfolders under Inbox and sent messages as an archive for all SMS I get and send. Every year I export them with PIMBackup and save the resulting file to a safe place.
Now, with the new messaging-application I'm not able to change the folders anymore. The subfolders are still there (I see them in PIMBackup when trying to create a backup), but I can't access them.
Take a look here
Cheers.
Oh thank you.
I must have defined my searches wrong, cause I missed that posting
EDIT: Oh, thank you again. You made me edit the registry and I mistankely changed the Name "System" und HKLM to "e" and I couldn't change it back. :S
Since it is one of the most important keys in the registry, only a hard-reset brought my HD2 back to life.
Well, it was not so bad at all. I have all my data as a backup.
Actually, it was kinda funny to see what the device does when you edit the registry and make a mistake.
