Copy SMS messages in real time?

Is there a program or a way to make a copy of the sent and received SMS messages in real time, without scheduling or manually creating a backup? If so, would you be able to have the copy saved to the storage card?

What I'm looking for is when I send or receive a text message, it will automatically save that message on my phone in the standard cemail.vol file as well as another specified file on my storage card. That way, if I accidentally delete the message I will still have it on my storage card.

I'm not sure if this is even possible. Thanks.

I know I have seen apps that will do it in XML or HTML but nothing in cemail.vol as far as I know. Lemme know if this will work for you.

I know the default program in Windows Mobile 5 will store the text messages in the cemail.vol file, but I was looking for a way to have a copy stored on the storage card at the same time.

When I receive or send a text message, WM5 stores it in the inbox/sent folders and I also wanted it to be stored in another inbox/sent folder on the storage card. So if I accidentally erase a text message from my inbox (and the deleted file), I will still have a copy of it on my storage card. Kinda like a way of archiving my inbox/sent folders without having to setup a backup schedule or manually back it up. I would like it to do it as the messages are being sent and received.

I hope this makes sense otherwise I need to stop posting late at night.

An app that will store it in XML or HTML would be fine, as long as it would do it in real time.

Well, I guess I don't need it to be instantly, but as long as it makes a copy that would be great. Even if I can't view the copy for a few minutes, that's alright. Just as long as it's copied.

Which programs should I look at?

Dashwire is supposed to do this, but you'll be old and grey before you get an invitation to try the beta.

Give this a try.

I wrote this up real quick. No guarantee that it even works :P
Requires .Net CompactFramework 2.0 or higher.
To install, just unzip it and copy CopyCEMail.exe (only 9kb) to your \Windows\Startup folder.


What it does...
It runs in the background and waits for 3 events to be triggered.
1) A change in unread SMS count
2) A change in unread MMS count
3) A change in unread Email count
When either of those happens, it will copy your cemail.vol to \Storage Card\cemail.vol. That means if you get a new message of any of those 3 types or if you read a new message or mark it as read then it will copy the file to your storage card. If the phone just woke up and the storage card isn't ready, it'll wait 5 seconds and then try again before giving up.

Outgoing messages won't trigger it, but this should atleast give you a decent amount of backups.

Hopefully it works for you. If not, there's probably a commercial app to do it.

Thanks tiermann!! I'll give it a try. If I may ask, how did you write the program? What language is it? I can program a little bit in Visual Basic, but I have not written anything for Windows Mobile.

It's Visual Basic .Net using the WM6 SDK. All code should be ok for WM5 and 6 though because they have mostly the same "events".
Just a basic console app with a loop to keep it open and I added the 3 triggers as Friend Withevents so it doesn't have to pole anything.
