I have a problem with my SMS folder.
It is showing that I have unread messages but the folder is empty.
I know I have recieved messages that I have not read.
Is there a way to read them/export/import them with something else before I hard reset to fix the problem?
Where are they stored and in what format?
Thanks.

If you have restored a backup file using Sprite backup recently this would result in you seeing the read/unread SMS/Email messages without physical data... the only fix that they have come up with is a program to reset all data in your poutlook database, unfortunately erasing your data for good EVEN your email accounts that are present. Their file is attached and is to be ran on the PPC... KNOWING that it will RESET your Pocket Outlook to "factory" defaults, but in turn solve your problem. I think that there was a program to backup SMS messages, maybe you could look into it and see if it helps you before erasing them?
If you have not restored from a backup recently - I cannot help for I do not know.

Thanks,
Yes I have restored from a back-up.
Thanks for your help.
Hey
I have found I have the same problems myself (its why I dont use xBackup). However if your backup file was made with Sprite Backup then simply install the latest version on your device, then load it and open the backup file from the program (even if its self extracting). It will use the new restore functionality that fixes the problem. (After restoring the raw messages it 'patches' them.)
If your backup was made in a different program then your probably not going to be able to get the messages back easily or at all. The best option here is to simply manually copy them by hand if you can access them at all. I tried the ClearMail program once when I had a poor backup and it cleared everything but the bad texts!! Needed a hard reset. You can try using programs such as "SMS Cool!" and "Jeyo Mobile Companion" but I got connection error messages when I had a corrupted inbox.

I had the same problem restoring emails and SMS from sprite backup files myself until I upgraded to version 3.13. Seems like the problem has been resolved.
If you have your original backup files, the latest version should patch the mail database correctly and allow you to view the restored SMS.
Hope that helps.
FYI, WM2003SE is using this app Tmail.exe for the SMS. It is located in /Windows directory.
i had this when i used x back up and no matter what i did when i tried to text i would set it to use sms account but it would still try to use activesync account, so i restored an even older back up then restored the one that went funny and it worked fine. its done that twice and thats fixed it both times
Cleanmail fixed my problems.... but no I have no MMS database/inbox
anyone know how to rebuild it ?
thnx
mms after backup
I had this prob a while back when upgrading rom. I was unable to open mms App. Problem was when active sync runs it copied old files. if you delete the "mms ua" folder that is saved in my docs, uacontents. this gets rid of any messages you had b4 but you will be able to get into app.
hope this helps
solved it by restoring MMS folders from a backup..
Never loose your SMS again
You can save all your SMS/MMS onto your Storage Card. http://xpocketpc.fw.hu
really looking forward to an import feature
and please make that program work from Storage card !
it will also be more logical to run from storage card when you add "inport" feature ... than it can be used as backup/restore.
Bugfix Storage Card running.
I'm working on it.

I'm using Sprite Backup 3.1.4 and still I experience this kind of problem (error in messages specially in Activesync emails) every time I restore my backup.
Is there a way to fix this or is there a newer version of Sprite Backup?
I don’t know which backup tool is better. SunnySoft or Sprite backup?
Use spriteback to backup anything except messaging and use sunnysoft or dopod SMS backup to backup messaging.
Let us wait for the sprite team to release their version 4 of sprite backup

no, you should go and report it , they promised a fix as early as november last year.... if more people ask, it will eventually be done...
releasing "new version" befare the current one is working is like saying " ok what I bought is not working as advetised, so now i give you more money to fix that bug and buy version 4, meybe now you will deliver ?"

Um.. well you have a point.. you can blame sprite if they released a new version and they wanted us to pay again for upgrade then i think its against the law.. ill try to contact sprite.. btw, does the problem on messaging is writen on their website telling that "warning: this current version of sprite is still sh!t in restoring messaging"??
no they do not warn people
and : Sprite backup does NEVER restore MMS contents correctly on blue-angels. (they know and confirmed it)
AND:
if you try to restore only SMS or any other single DB, then the new, blang MMS DB will be corrupted and useless.
They know that too.
LOL.
No they don't have any warning in their website. the only thing you can see in their web site are:
Features
Benefits
BUY NOW
And no trial although they have this "Instead of offering a trial version, we provide a 30 day Money-back Guarantee. This is because we do not expect users to evaluate the application by removing all their data and then restoring it."
I will try to help!...
Hello,
I am about to upgrade to WM6 but am not sure about the best method for backing up my Hermes data.
I would like to backup my sms, files, etc...but am unsure if it's possible to backup programs also and restore with WM6. Can I use activesync for any of this now? I believe this feature has been taken away with the lastest version.
I know about smsorganizer from searching but is there another all in one package that will do it all and allow me to restore in WM6? Can I use spbbackup for this?
Thanks.

Any suggestions?
Hi, I had a few problems with my Streak so, O2 sent it off to be repaired. Before doing so I did a backup using the Dell sofware. On return they had given me a replacment phone and upgraded to 2.2. When I came to reload my backup the phone was not recognised by the software. After speaking to O2 and trying a few surggestions I gave up. None of my contacts etc had been synced with gmail.
After digging around a bit on the internet I found that the Dell backup software wich came with the phone and 2.1 was not compatible with 2.2 and an app was needed to backup before upgrading.
Does anyone know how I can access my backup file to get to my contacts which is in bm3 format. This appears to be password protected, when trying to open with winrar. If this is not possible does anyone know if I can go back to 2.1 then upgrade once I have all my contacts via the correct procedure.
Cheers in advance for any help
I want to reset my HTC Mozart (Mango 7.5) for some reason but want to take a backup of the entire phone so can restore after reset. I've Zune 4.8 on my PC.
Any idea how? I could find any option in Zune or in phone to take backup.
cheers...
Hi,
If I understand your issue correctly then you want to do a full backup before fiddling with your phone.
This is possible via the WP7 Backup via Zune (although not officially supported, there's a great application for that purpose: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14258464#post14258464).
You only need the correct DLL (see links in the topic) and the Windows Phone Support Tool.
The backup process using this tool is straightforward and contains ALL data (SMS, contacts, you name it ).
However, you can only restore 100% of the backup - e.g. there's no possibility to integrate the SMSs you received after creating the backup.
You will also end up with the applications and the WP7 version that was installed at the time you created the backup!
If you are looking for means to backup your data now and restore them to a different WP7 version or different installation, then I have to disappoint you for now - there is currently no possibility.
But there are people working on it
hmm, thanks for the link and information but seems like I'm not that much guru
I would wait for some easier solution and will do the backup manually.
cheers ...
I installed the Android O beta, and having a bad day, plain forgot to make a backup first.
I'd like to downgrade, but use Signal app daily - and I don't have the sim-card I used to verify for another month or so (in a different country right now).
Can someone please advise if I could make a backup of the app, so I can downgrade the OS, restore Signal from backup and not need to re-verify with SMS?
There's no way for me to receive a new verification SMS except on a different number.
I don't have root right now, but can do if necessary to achieve this.
Thanks.
Ever heard of titanium backup? My friend, it is the solution to all worlds problems.
