What tool do YOU use to manage incoming/outgoing SMS?
I do not need special ringtones for SMS, I am looking for something to sort them into folders like thunderbird on the desktop for managing emails.

Hi All
IS there anyway to save sms's one has recieved to text files to be saved on the pc. Iv looked but dont see any way unless iv missed it.
Thanks ahead
I am interested in this aswell. With my old SE i used float's mobile agent (which i still miss , but on bluetooth en you could work your phone by pc ). But outlook does not save the sms, atleast i could not find it.
PIM Backup exports to a text file, I think it is CSV.
Yes that does seem to work . It even takes out sms messages you deleted :O. Tho you have to extract the .pib(its a zip) to get to the messages. Messages are a bit mauled tho with all the crap thats around it.
yeap it works, but wow so much info, hehehe....
thanks for the help
use jeyo mobile extender for outlook.
it integrates your sms into outlook. treats sms like mails. including send, forward etc folders
Hi there!
I searched the forum using google - but couldnt find a solution for my problem: I am using an exchange server with directpush on my WM 6.1 (no thrills v3 rom)... notification works perfect when the new mail is in the standard inbox -> but when my server side filter rules move the new mail into a subfolder, then my mobile device doesnt alert me that a new mail arrived!
I HAVE already marked the responding subfolders as "synced" (mobile outlook -> extras -> manage folders) but still no alert for those folders?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

You are right, there's no solution!
At least not when you use WM Outlook.
Only workaround is to use FlexMail. (Or maybe another 3rd party app)
Hm Flexmail ok... - are u using this one? Any experiences compared to pocket outlook? What about exchange implementation (like scheduler - time coordination between participants etc) and traffic?

No, I don't use FlexMail. Sorry, can't help you with that.
I tested Flexmail: Notification functions with every sort of account except MAPI and so except the communication with the Exchange server. Too bad
Can this be true? If we want to use push-mail / contacts / whatever together with our exchange server, then we cannot use subfolders and rulesets because only the basefolder will pop up a notification?
Is there no update / patch for pOutlook?
Try Watchflag, works with built in email client in windows mobile and allows to alert on subfolders. $20 though.
Yeah, I had this same problem, too. I have a Windows Mobile 6 device syncing with Microsoft Exchange. I have server-side rules set up to automatically route emails to different folders, which are synced.
The solution? Well, I couldn't find one, so I wrote one:
http://www.blackmonlabs.com/
It's a lightweight Today screen plugin that will display all your unread emails, in all your folders and accounts. As you read your mail, the display will automatically update. Also, you can configure each mail account to have its own alert as new messages arrive.
The free version supports alerts and sum-total emails for each account. (like the Messaging plug-in, but includes all your unread emails, not just the inbox)
For the $10 activation fee, you get the ability to have the today screen break out the folders with unread messages, so you can navigate directly there.
Cheers!

Any chance this could be implemented for HTC users? In HTC sense, there is no homescreen ;(
I have a HD2 and have my contacts/ txt messages etc all synced with MS MyPhone.
Is there a way to restore them on WinMo7? I dont want to add them via Hotmail. Any ideas?
isnt that taken from your windows live account?
well...since we now have WP7 added to the game, I think a software or a method to transfer contacts, messages, email accounts etc...between android and WP7 (and WM 6.5x if possible too) is necessary, so we can freely move between all these OSes or using more than one at the same time (personally, I'll go with WP7 on NAND and android on SD best of both worlds)
I'm not a software dev so I can't do it, but I'm ready to donate for a software/service like that and I think many of you will agree with me
If you want to keep your contacts synchronized between two OSes then i would recommend that you use your gmail you are able to sync contacts fro mgmail with both android and wp7
On another note: you are not able to run WP7 of NAND AND android from the SD card at the same time, as the way android ran from SD before was through a emulator for windows mobile.

yup I know gmail can sync contacts, I can even copy them to the SIM card. the main concern here is SMS messages
lol I didn't mean AT the same time of course but now we can boot android from SD card right from MAGLDR so I can choose to boot either this or that
I'm afraid that Syncing SMS messages between the 2 different OS may not be possible.
I agree with Hojlind about GMail though. This is how I synced my contacts/calendar to and from WM and Android. Instantly updates the calendar and contacts on both OS's.

yea I know, what i meant is using a 3rd party app (a version for android and another for WP7 to backup/restore SMS back and forth) or a dedicated online service or something like that
I'm afraid there is none at the moment. I would love to see an app restore/backup sms to the gmail as this is what I am having on the android. If that can be achieved then I can switch freely between the 2 OS without worries
hi all
is there any program in wp7 that can import vcf (outlook contacts) into cell phone?
I mean direct import without any internet service.
No Direct Import.
You can email the vcf file to yourself. Other than that, you can copy the vcf to your pictures folder, gain access by following the steps here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915664
Then install Touch Xplorer and move the file from pictures to the documents folder. from there go to Office ..... open the file, Any way something like that.
Your best bet,
Connect your phone using wifi, email the file to yourself as an attachment.

For Contact, calendar and E-mail i use Gmail
For SMS:
In Android install "sms-backup" app, this will back-up all your SMS to your Gmail account under a SMS label in your mail. This label can be accessed within the mail application of WP7.
Hope this helps
It seems that SMSSyncUp <forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625378> has done the first half of the job by sync WM 6.5 SMS to gmail.
Could anyone programme the second half? I tried some Android programmes (e.g. SMS Backup +) which sync Android SMS with gmail, but the data aren't compatible...

thanks that's an interesting way
but i want to save them as normal SMS, that can be forwarded and so on...
It would be cool, if we can put the sms to our sim cards. together with dual boot with android, it sounds ... nice
I have one probelm, I used Win 6.5 and used save my contacts "PIM BACKUP".
How I can move to my contacts Windows Mobile 7?
I have been trying for many hours to get this stupid 'Nokia2AndroidSMS' to convert the .csv file so I can transfer the xtml file it makes to the Android phone. But it tells me that ovi has not sync the messages, which I know it has already. But the new ovi suite backups all sms, contacts, documents and calender all together. It is ridiculous. I'm guess this is why 'Nokia2AndroidSMS' cannot find the sms file. So I managed to export just the messages to an .csv file but now I do not think Android reads the csv file, does it? And how do I restore all the sms onto the new SGSII phone that has been saved has a .csv file? Any free programs that does this? I have been looking like mad...Now I am getting tired.
First, I have to say that I haven't tried this method. But you could have a go.
http://www.veryandroid.com/how-to-transfer-sms-to-android-from-iphone-windows-mobile-nokia-etc.html
Thanks. Yeah. I saw it but I just thought there would be another way without purchasing a program. After all, this is a one time situation.
Since I bought "Apolsoft Android SMS Transfer" and use it, no matter how many text messages I have, It can provide me a fast speed for backup. More importantly, It has its own desktop management tools, the ability to import text messages to the desktop management tools to edit, delete, print and other operations, Many free software can not do it and the software is very easy to use. So, I am very optimistic about this software, I hope my review could bring some benefits for you. This is not what the ad! !
Can't you send them via bluetooth?
This software can either backup and restore SMS and can backup and restore Contacts, very handy. I've been using and strongly recommend you to use.
You can search " obbosoft " in google......
stay out of those nokia to android commercial or PAID softwares
