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

I'm syncing my exchange mails to my android tablet (running honeycomb 3.1)
Is there a way to archive my email messages to a different folder (sd card) to free up my Exchange mailbox on the server?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I checked touchdown and k-9 mail and I don't see this capability.
Thanks for any help/suggestions!

I am looking for something similar.
I found the Ipad app pst mail that does it even using Dropbox to store your pst file but I cant find anithing like that for android and I really dont want to jump the the dark side because of this.
Please help
I don't think you are required to do so. Just put it in internal as it don't used up a lot of space unless you have picture with maybe 10mb attached. Gmail or email will constantly help you to clear up those unused data.

Hi everyone,
I currently have a Tmo Vibrant, and just bought a View... my first tablet. I'll be setting the View up on a Google account different than what's on my phone (to share with others in our house), and I'm looking for the easiest way to get apps from my phone to the tablet. I'm considering a couple of options; any advice would be greatly appreciated...
1. Set up my Google account on the tablet. From the Market, push my apps to the tablet. Then, change the Google account from mine to the new, permanent one. My questions are, is changing accounts even possible? If so, would the Market still track those apps after I changed the account?
2. Root the phone (already done), and the tablet. Titanium backup/restore from the phone to the tablet. The tablet and phone are running different versions of Android. Questions here are... will the apps run okay on the tablet? I've read some people were having problems with FCs when trying to run apps that came from a different version of Android. Also, will those apps restored to the tablet be recognized by the Market?
Option 1 seems like it would be easier, even though I may end up rooting the View anyway for Nandroid backups. Are there any better options?
Thanks in advance!
Option 1 will work. Changing accounts is possible. Just remove old account and create new one. Market knows what you have installed.
Alternatively ... pull your apk files from the phone, push apk files to your SD card, use a file manager, click on them and you will be asked to install them.
You can use TB, but if you are going from different Android versions, not all apps will work. And defiantly only restore the apps, not the data. No system data or app data.
Dropbox
Upload your .apk to dropbox and then you can download to any device with dropbox app.
Thanks. My View's coming in on Tuesday, and I've already got the apk's on Dropbox and on a microSD card so I'm ready to try both options.
Just an FYI for others - it seems the normal method to change Google accounts on an Android device requires doing a factor reset, though it looks like there may be other options that involve clearing data in specific Google apps to reset the account. Obviously, I haven't tried this yet but I still might, if the apk's I've backed up don't work. Here are a couple of threads about the topic:

Another Option:
It should be possible to install Amazon App store on two different devices with two different Google accounts (and thus, two different Google Mail accounts) but a single user account for the Amazon App.
That way, any app you buy on the Amazon App store would be available on both devices, but personal information (such as e-mail) would be device specific.
Of course, you're not getting the full Google market this way, but the Amazon App store does have a ton of apps.
you should be able to change google accounts. Titanium backup is another root but keep in mind you are changing from gingerbread to honeycomb so I am not certain all apps will work
The absolute easiest way, assuming you have Root Explorer or something similar installed, is to simply email your .apk right from the phone to the Gmail account that's installed on your tablet.
On your phone, open Root Explorer, navigate to Data/App or System/App, and copy the .apk over to your SD card. Then open Gmail, start a new email, and hit Menu > Attach. At the prompt "select type of attachment", choose Root Explorer, then navigate to the SD card and click your .apk to attach it to the email. Send the email to the Gmail account on your tablet. Finally, open Gmail on your tablet, open the email you've just sent yourself, and click the handy Install button you'll find right in the email. That's it!
I was trying to sync my contacts from my phone to my SD card before switching ROMs since Backup Assistant doesn't work.
Anyways, my phone froze while it was synchronizing my contacts, but apparently got them all anyways. Only problem is, since it froze, I assumed they didn't all go through and I tried over and over again. Well, now I have all of my contacts 8 times and it wants to link them all together.
Never have I been so annoyed with my contacts.
Is there any way of erasing the 7 extra listings of each contact I don't need?
Do I have a long day ahead of me by manually deleting them 1 by 1 off of my list? Or is their sync files I can find with root browser and just delete them?

If you flash another rom that has backup assistant working would it only list your contacts once? would that be easier than deleting all those?

No. It would put my contacts back but it would still sync them from my SD card and link them all together again. Plus my SD card would still have wasted space of multiple backups of the same contacts written on it.
I suppose I could delete all contacts from my SD card, download a ROM with working backup assistance... if there is one, and then save them to my SD again.
But I don't even know where the contacts sync to my SD in order to delete them.

I am new to Gmail, I am use to using K9 mail. With K9 mail when I get a email from a forum thread I subscribed to, the link to that forum/thread is underlined and all I have to do is click on it for it to take me to that thread. The only way I have found to do it with Gmail is to highlight the link and then click search. For me sometimes it takes a little time to get the proper address completely highlighted. Is there a way to where I can have so as to only click on the link to go to the forum/thread?
@lartomar2002, you should be getting emails from XDA via gmail the same way, i.e. with a hyperlink. I noticed, a year or so ago, that for about a week I wasn't getting the hyperlink. Then, mysteriously it started working.
OK, until it shows up I will continue to us K9. FYI, just used the Nexus OTG file manager to import my K9 settings from my ext SD card in Meenova Dash. Is there a app that will allow me to use a file right from the ext SD Card without having to copying it to the internal without being rooted.
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?

Why don't you use titanium backup?

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.
