I need help immediatly, I have a P800 and have around 175 SMS messages stored on the device itself, I have searched these forums but have found no way to copy them other than transferring them over to SIM card one by and then over to the new device, I have tried copying c:/system/mail folder over but constantly says index in use, and can't copy that...The fact you cant backup a P800 and restore to anything besides an 800 is ridiculous, can anyone help me please? It's for an extremely important client...Thanks

Found the ultimate solution for backing up your SMS folder :
1- Backup your phone using the PC Suite.
2- Search for *.ecs with Windows' search function. My backup file's name is my p800 2004-08-11 05.33.44.ecs and stored under this folder : C:Documents and Settings**Application DataSony Ericssonbackups350443-10-******-1 (I'm using WinXP)
3- Rename this file to .zip and open it.
4- Copy your /system/mail folder to your desktop.
5- Now put your phone on the cradle.
6- Open again the backup utility. Press the backup button and let the program shut you phone down. And then turn it on again. Let it back up your phone again. When the screen which asks you to open the phone, flight mode etc. DO NOTHING!
7- Open Epocware PC File Manager.
8- Go to C:/system and delete the whole mail folder.
9- Copy the mail folder which is on your desktop (the one from the backup) under the system folder
10- Restart your phone and you're done!
Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for your help this seems like it would work perfectly except when I copy the Mail folder over after deleting it on the P800 it gives me an error when copying, on the device all the messages are there but only the headers, when you click a certain message its blank...Any ideas? Thanks again
