Is there a tool so export my mail settings out there? There are so many roms out there and every time I load a new rom, I have to redo all my mail settings. Then there a tool out there that I can user to back it up and re-import is when I load a new rom?

OK can anyone help?
Sprite Backup: Backed up email and Personal databases only
Hard Reset (No Rom change, Stock T-Mobile UK rom)
Restored email and Personal databases
Icon shows 17 unread emails and 2 unread SMS - Excellent - exactly as expected.
SMS's all there and correct
Try to access emails - No account set up - try to create account - "This account already exists"
OK, Hard Reset again
Create email account first
Restore emails from Sprite
SMS - OK & Correct
Emails - Showing 17 - but when opening - no account available, Create new account - and of course - "This account already exists".
Happy to loose the emails, but I want the SMS's
I don't want to lose the ability to access emails from the Today screen icon - it still shows 17 unread (unavailable) emails.
Any ideas ?
Are you backing up and restoring "System Data" and "Personal Databases"?
Try this
Copy the exe in the attached zip to your ppc and run it from your phone. It lists all the accounts that can be restored. I use it to restore my sms messages from a sprite backup whenever I change roms...

thanks! worked for me
Excellent - Perfect fix.
Many Thanks !
Someone should sticky this. I searched all over for a fix, I recently did a fresh ROM flash to fix a problem with my Voice Command and this happened to my email, the program worked perfectly! thanks!
I want to try a different rom , but is there a contacts backup program?
the same questions with you
Contacts should be synchronized with your google account. So they are already backed up on your gmail account.
From there (web app) you can also export a csv file.
yep mine are synced with google mail. you could also just copy them to the sim card and then import them back in after you flash new rom.
How can I export my contacts to be imported again later? Does the gmail sync only work one way? I.e. from your gmail account to your phone and not the other way around?
There is a built-in import-export tool available in the menu in contacts.
It exports contacts to sd card.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
What about the google sync question?
Just checked and it synced from phone to google
Sent from The Dark Captivate
Google sync is two way and I can't get the SD Card Export feature to work properly. Importing the resulting csv gives me a parse error
The only option I can see under import/export in the contacts menu is 'send namecard via'. I don't see the import option.
I have a csv file that I need to import, and I don't want to sync with gmail, any ideas? Thanks
Well I figured how to import contacts (not sync) without going through gmail. I know most of the users sync with gmail but in case you don't want to here's one way to do it on Windows. Eventually you'll need a single vCards (.vcf) file. If you can't export into vcf files from Outlook or whatever source you can do this:
-export contacts into a CSV file
-import into Windows contacts
-export into vCards (vcf files)
-combine all vcf files into 1 (in the command line navigate to the folder where your vcf files are and run this: "copy *.vcf allcontacts.vcf")
-copy the merged file allcontacts.vcf to your phone
-delete your phone contacts
-click on allcontacts.vcf to import the contacts to your phone
I'll be doing this until they come up with a sync tool over usb or bluetooth.
I have a vcf file from an old phone that I want to import. I mounted the phone as a mass storage device on my ubuntu box. Where should I put the file so that the contacts program can find it?
Thanks for any help!

Just stick it on your external sd (if you are using one) or the root of your internal mem.
Thanks zelendel. I'm actually so noob at this phone that I haven't quite learned how to use the UI very efficiently yet. I found the 'import' option for the contacts program, and that let me import my vcf file (which i put into the root of the phone since I don't have an external sd card yet). Again, thanks.
This is the way I do:
Backup "contacts storage" in TiBu. Save this backup in a safe place.
This I use to restore all contacts intact whenever I flash any new ROM. This restores "favorite contacts" too.
Put in the internal card the import should see the file. The other option is to go to the file via astro and select it will ask where to import
I have used TiBu and it works great
But I also sync with my GMail. I was bored one day so I actually went into my contacts on my lappy and updated everything in my contacts folder. And when I flash a new ROM all I do is log into my GMail and Sync. and POOF! Everything comes back up like nothing ever happened.
Also if you go into Contacts --> Settings --> Save New Contacts and set it to GMail or Google (Which ever it says) it will keep everything up to date and there is no need to backup.
Hope that helps
hi guys, i just backup my contacts from android using vcf format. n i have problem to restore in my touch diamond 2. anyone know how to solve this, please....thank u very much. once again i appriaciate all ur help.
Use Microsoft ActiveSync to import your vcf to outlook, and synchronize your phone with PC
I have vcf files from mi nokia 5530 phone and tried the stock contacts import but it duplicates all my contacts so I have to use this apps:
- Contact remover for remove all the contacts
- SDBackup (I have mine in Chinese, but the second button is import) and I choose vcf file (one vcf file with all the contacts, but it seems to work with individual vcf files) and it works pretty good and now I have my contacts in my Motorola Defy
Search in the market for the apps because I can't paste URL's yet
I run in this problem again (fresh rom install) and can't find SDBackup app now, after a research, I found this app [1] that is just great. I hope it can help you

After every Rom flash i dont want to re enter Gmail account and other email accounts? Is there any script that i can put in a Rom and when i flash, i dont need to setup them again.
Second question: When i flash a new Rom every time GPS is automatically ON.
How to turn it to OFF from ROM itself by editing scripts.
I am pretty sure there is no way to include such information in a rom, since it requires gaining authorization from outside sources. Also, when you try to restore system info via Titanium, it causes a flood of FCs.
You just need to go through the process manually, I fear.
is there anyway to import such things after flashed rom without using any backup
utility.
We can import contacts from a csv, i mean something as easy as this.
