need to extract data out of an app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hopefully this is the right forum as I expect it may require some tricky steps.
I have the Microsoft Outlook app and an exchange account that has had its password reset.
I need a copy of the emails contained in the cache for the app for legal purposes.
I know on a pc you'd just grab the ost or PST file. How would I extract emails out of the Outlook app from its data files?

I don't have access to the server since the account has been disable, well the password has been reset.

Ok so this is how you do it:
1. do titanium backup
2. open the gzip file created for data backup
3. find the databases folder
4. grab the big one called accompli.db
5. download sqlite browser
6. open file extracted above
7. browse messages, contacts, address book etc it's all there cached.

Pretty sure there is none of your data in the app, it would be stored elsewhere in the phone. You check android folder on SD card? Or any of those others that store app data through out the phone?

You did see that I solved it right? If course emails are cached in the app, well in the app database.

Google Sync (official)

Syncs contacts and calendar
I'm still at work and will try this as soon as I get home and perform a backup.

Does it work with mail ? It's not clear from their site, but since you use the same login, it could be very interesting to have gmail with push.
EDIT: Answered my own question.. No mail
Thats really cool! And about time! Too bad I have a lifetime subscription to GooSync which I love!!!
Works AWESOME.
Chanegs are updated in about 3 seconds either way. Also no duplicate appointments like some other google calendar sync programs.
no work with diamond.. :'(

Can't post a cab file, you have to enter login information
First before you do anything make a backup of your contacts and calendar!!!!
Okay, to make a setup cab is very easy, just follow the steps:
1) Download Scotchua Sample Google Sync XML.zip file
2) Extract the XML file "_setup.xml" which is inside the zip.
3) Open the file in Notepad (or an xml editor of your choice) not Wordpad.
4) Change "Enterusernamehere" and "Enterpasswordhere" to your actual username or password. (username is [email protected])
5) Save the file.
6) Use a compression program (personally i use Alzip, but any will do) and add the _setup.xml file to an archive, and save as file type ".cab"
7) Now you should have _setup.cab or something similar. You can name it whatever you want.
8) Copy the cab file to your device, and run it.
9) Your server should be setup.
can you only have 1 ativesync? i already have activesync account for my school email.
Can you sync just oneway? Just Google to WM or in other direction? I need the WM Contacts in Google and not the old Google contacts in WM...
does it perform OTA sync automatically?
Google sync - kinda cool but lacking
Does anyone know if there's some secret way to show birthdays in Google Contacts? I've never seen that data imported, whether using a CSV import, or with the new ActiveSync, although it puts the birthday events in Google Calendar.

Yes, I found it took about 3 seconds to update automaticaly. Either way.

I agree that i think that's nice and easy, but they're gonna have to step up the offering as far as the way contacts are handled before this is really a viable option. It is only the first public beta though so i'm sure more features are coming.
Unless I am missing something, it would be nice if it could sync more than just one calendar.
I get the following error
support code 0x85010004
I hate the fact that it syncs my contacts to lastname, firstname. I´m from Germany and am used to Firstname Lastname. I hope they implement that option in one of the next versions =)

[Q] Still Downloading old mail

My S3 continues to download old mail (most of which I know has been deleted) from as far back as February (and continuing backwards). This happens on several accounts (BT, Orange, MSN).
Any ideas?

The phone can't download something that does not physically exist. Even Samsung can't do that...
If you are using IMAP your other/old client might've moved the email to the Trash folder instead of actually deleting them. Note that this will also cause your email account to fill up.
The old email account probably didn't "update to server" correctly, so emails that were deleted from the client (phone) weren't actually deleted on the sever.

Still doing it
Cleared all online servers of messages I can find, and the deleted folders and the trash from PC and phone. The s3 is now downloading messages (emails) from last September. From Freeserve (orange) BTinternet and MSn. All of which i am sure have been cleared.
I am deleting from Phone, email and trash folders, ditto pc.
The phone cannot download messages that do not exist.
So they have to exist somewhere, even if you can't see them in your provider's webinterface.
Try using a good IMAP client (such as Thunderbird) and check if there is any folder with contents.

Email not syncing / cant delete email account

Sorry for the long post.
I have a gmail account and a hotmail account. Gmail works fine but hotmail is not syncing with the phone. I can see on the web app of hormail that I have received new email but I press the sync button on the mail app and nothing happen. I verified the password and is the correct one. I was reading that it happening to some people on the s3.
Tried to delete the account on setting/accounts and it say that some apps need the hotmail account and that I need to reset the device to factory. Tried to delete the account from the email app and it shows me "delete account failed-503 service unavailable" I have been looking through the forum and cant find an answer. Is there's a way I can delete without resetting ? im stock but rooted Thanks in advance
Figured out! deleted the stock email data from titanium backup and it deleted the account. Set it up again and seems to becworking fine!
You could also clear the data on the mail app...once cleared, go back to the email app and youll run the set up all over again

When I flash new rom, I try to avoid following....
1. dirty flashing (flashing over existing rom without wiping my own ass)
-> sometimes creates problems with functionality, but not always
2. retrieving titanium backup with yellow lettered internet bookmark, all red lettered datas, and any 'Account' data.
a)For internet bookmark, retrieve green lettered one but not the yellow one. Retrieving both yellow and green ones will combine 2 same bookmarks.
b)Do not save nor retrieve any red lettered datas.
c) Do not save or retrieve any 'Account' data which is on the list among other datas(regardless of what color it is), or it may create functionality problems such as syncing your email.

I tried to delete on the mail app but it was giving me an error. Then I went to TB and wiped the data there and it worked. I was able to setup again
Hello,
I am having the same problem with my note2, only for my yahoo account. I am not familiar with the solution listed above as I don't know what Titanium backup is. I have not done anything to my Note since I got it, as far as changing ROM or anything. What is the best way to resolve this since I can't delete the account?
Thanks
Is there anyone that can help with this problem? I have a stock Note 2 and my yahoo account stopped updating out of nowhere. Now it also won't recognize my login info so I can't send messages either. I have installed the Yahoo app but prefer to use the stock email app for one stop to all my email.
Any suggestions welcome...

Try going to Settings, then Application Manager. Find the email application and clear data. Exit from the application manager and then open your email app and set up your yahoo account again.

Stanz,
Yahoo mail works better for me if I set it up manually. You can let the email app find the servers and such on its own, but that's where I've had most of my problems. If you follow the prompts in a manual set up its pretty intuitive. Delete your Yahoo account and try that.

e-mail's backup from built in e-mail client

hi,
i have Sony Xperia Z2 and i use built in e-mail client for my mailbox. i use POP3 protocol and i didn't leave any copy of my e-mail's on the server. all my e-mail's i have in my device now. i have to transfer all my e-mails to my pc but i didn't find any export or backup option. the only method i found is forward one by one but i have more than 4000 e-mail's!
do you know any solution?
is it possible to copy all my e-mails from built in e-mail client???
sm
no ideas???

I've never used the e-mail client stop I wouldn't know. On your fone, you need to search for where the e-mails are stored. It will probably be a single text file. Connect you fone to your pc and copy that over. If you use IMAP instead of POP3 in future, you shouldn't run into this problem. But then I guess you know that now...

There are a few directories where app stuff is stored. Try
1 - /system/app
2 - /system/priv-app
3 - /system/etc/product/applications
4 - /data/app
It might be in one of those..
HTH
Backup the email app with Titanium backup and look into the compressed backup files, there will be some database with all emails in it. You might be able to read it with some SQL reader or similar.

Gmail App Email Database Access and Portability

Evening, I have had the problem of my accounts being hacked before a legal process to get to evidence of third party access of my account.
I need to either extract the gmail archive to a pst or be able to copy the database to another device.
Is this possible or how can I do this. Has anyone done such a thing?
Are you rooted? Use something like apps2sd to move Gmail to the SD card. Then also link all data and dex file to Gmail on the SD. If you try to open Gmail at this point it will crash. Put the SD card in your other device and transfer Gmail and it's linked data etc to internal . My best guess
