Hi There,
I had a same problem some time back and had a simmilar post sent out..
I was told that there is nothing much I can do except start using sprite back up utility. That lets u control the way u can back up. Unfortunately the program is not free.
I also started using Jeyo mobile extender for outlook. WShat this does is to creat a sms folder in Microsoft outlook and sync all the sms into out look like emails . This is also a good utility.
Hope this info helps u in future.
Hi there...i experienced that as well...What i did afterwards, was to restore it again. It was ok then, and my inbox wasn't weird as before. Hope that helps

Hi all, I've just upgraded my O2 Exec ROM, not being a PC user i assumed that activesync (using my flatmates PC) would back up everything, including MMS and SMS messages.
With over 300 SMS messages, a lot of them personal, others with important information in them, i would like to be able to recover them.
if theres any way to do this i would appreciate any help.
thanks,
brodie
Nope, you're f***ed. There's no recovery program at my knowledge.
did u make a backup? ...-if u made a full backup, just restore that.
no i think i just synced it. i saw no option for backup, only sync so assumed it would back it up.
I didnt really pay much attention to it, just checked all the boxes in active sync and synced it, upgraded the ROM and synced back again, but no sms.
Just looking now and my other email accounts havent appeared, am i missing something? does activesync not copy your other accounts either?
No, sorry to say but ActiveSync only copies you default outlook folders. No copy is made of SMS, MMS and other mailboxes that are set up. So sorry to say but I don't think you'll ever see the lost data again.
A little late for now but I'd recommend using a backup utility for future use. Which btw does not solve all of your problems as a backup made with a specific Rom can almost never be restored on an upgraded device with a different Rom. For SMS I use Jeyo Outlook Companion which creates a PST in outlook and keeps your SMS messages in sync. You can that also copy the SMS messages to any mail folder you'd like.
thanks for the replies all, looks like i shouldnt be so hasty and assume everything gets synced!
I'll look into backup utilities, have to wait until pocketmac or missingsync works with WM5!
I use jeyo sms outlook add on, for sms, and also look at personal vault, http://1800message.com/default.aspx to back up your phone I use Backup manager of sunnysoft, works like a treat.
Hello,
I've searched the board several times since months and haven't found a solution to my problem yet.
My problem is as follows:
I have my Wizard (O2 Germany, so Xda mini S) since february (in fact it is the third one, O2 support changed it two times because the stylus didn't lock anymore after few weeks of use... have to change it again...).
And few months ago, I tried Sprite Backup, what I am using since then. Although it worked well, one thing is annoying: sometimes after hard reset and restore of only my mail database (cemail.vol, the only thing I really need to be backed up), the Messaging app doesn't show mail accounts anymore, but when I try to create new ones with the same names, it says, that the accounts already exist. So I created new accounts with different names, as many other users did, how I could read here. They co-exist and take memory.
Interesting thing: the Spb Diary messaging program can see the old accounts, and so it is also possible to delete the messages, that are still there in the old accounts. It can take a long time and many clicks (taps), because you can delete only one message at once, but it is better than nothing. One problem persists: Spb Diary can't delete the accounts themselves.
Therefore I am searching for a way to extract only my SMS messages (eMail is not important, I have it all on PC), start with an empty mail database (hard reset) and restore only the SMS messages into that new database.
The only program I have found so far, that really looked well for the first moment, is Jeyo Mobile Extender (or Companion). It backups the SMS Messages to PC, but not all of them. Messages in subfolders are ignored (I have subfolders for delivery notifications, call missed notifications and so on). And the restore doesn't work as expected. The date of the messages gets messed up, long messages (>160 charactes) get cut, and even the sender/receiver of the messages can get flipped.
But it must be possible to write a program, that fits my needs, I think (by the way: what is going on with the developers of WM2005? Backing up messages from mobile device to desktop is ESSENTIAL!!! Why isn't such a feature included?).
And because I am sure that I am not the only one with this problems hoping for a solution, I could imagine that someone already has written such a tool.
So, please, if anyone knows a tool or a different solution (editing mail database, removing everything except SMS messages...), PLEASE, help me!
Thank you very much in advance!
Yeaa im also really looking for a soultion to this, i Recently got a Windows Mobile device and i really wanna just be able to transfer my Series 60 Messages in Text format now.. to my Pocket PC's Messaging.
I can't believe nobody has made an app to backup and restore SMS's despite the growing number of people who need just sucha an app.
Except for Kai's, I don't think there is anything out there that does the job.
I hope SPB includes an option in the future to backup specific accounts only, because it is by far the best messaging backup app I have used till date.

jeyo has. works fine
jeyo is crappy piece of ****. better than nothing, but doesn't back up all messages, no self-created subfolders, no dupe-check, shows error message on ppc on every connect...
you will find out, when it is most important to you, believe me!
does anyone know how to back up text messages from there shadow to there computer want to run a new rom but i need my text messages so if anyone knows plz let me know thanks
I use Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook for my text messages. It worked well with my T-Mobile MDA and Shadow 2008 under XP / Outlook 2003, but things started acting up when I changed to Vista / Outlook 2007 with my Shadow 2009. There isn't any activity at the Jeyo Support forums so I was looking into using something else. There are other options as far as synching to Outlook (like Mobile Archiver), and some that backup to CSV or other formats. You can try out MS My Phone if you were able to sign up for it as well, I'm currently using it myself.
A free little Jewel called PIMBackup should help you out here.
It doesn't sync to your PC, just to a file, so I just have it output to my SD card.
It also backs up all of your contacts, past calls, and even any files that you want it to.

Pim Backup
I just tried this little app and its awsome... Thank for the info..
Hi can anybody give me a tip on a good app for managing sms's from my pc and also backing the up. I like to keep me sms's when i upgrade the rom but pim backup 1.8 messes it up. So anybody got a good one???
maybe you can try sync to myphone.microsoft.com ?
I use Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5
It works through Outlook & i've been using it since my MDA. Its not free unless you know how to Google.
Try SPB backup and for SMS try powerSMS
I actually googled the question this morning and eventually found this looks cool just installed it and am testing it now. It's called dashwire and does everything from text messages to contacts and photos
http://dashwire.com/
It seems most of these apps have bugs in them. The ones i focused most on was powersms and myphone from microsoft.
Powersms messes up the treaded messeging, so that the cronologic part in the conversation(sms) is not correct. Myphone is buggy and does not sync all sms's.
Any other good ones??
What i want is be able to upgrade my phone ( custome firmvare) and the be able to restore me sms's in the correct order cronoligicaly.
Why do you need to keep all your sms? I've flashed my ROM a few times and only thing I like to back up is my contacts. I get way to many sms to care to back them up.
I will second Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5. Been using it for sometime now. It does not sync MMS and if there is MMS, the sync just stops. Guess it's a bug but it's the best for me so far.
You can't restore the sms....which i don't mind cos if i need to look for old sms, i just launch MS Outlook on the PC and search for it.
It's not free but.......
you can actually move the SMS back to your device with JME 2.5, but yeah, took me a while to figure out the MMS thing. now i just delete any MMS that i send/receive right after i look at them.
Well i gave mymobile from ms another try and it seemed to work very well the second time around.
I like to have the latest sms's awailible y i dont know hehe, but yea it get quite many after a while....
I use PPCPimBackup - Freeware

I have deleted a txt message by mistake in the new HTC messages app. Iwant to restore it from the deleted items from the old outlook folder, but cant see how to do it.

thank you for your help
unfortunately this does not work on the Leo
? Is it an SMS text or an old E-mail?
because outlook have only your mails?
After a stupid series off actions and bad synchro i've deleted all my contacts and mails :'-(
the only way to restore all of them was to restore the outlook.pst file on my conputer from the day before my mistake.i'm on 7 a right click on the files to chose restore and old copy....
maybe can help
I think what you mean is that you want rid of the HTC Sense Text Messaging App (join the club).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614 will allow that. However it does have 'issues' of it's own, however being able to use exchange 2010 to backup send/recieve txt messages is worth it.
