Where are the contacts stored on the phone?

[Paul. W]

Just wanting to know the location of where the contacts are stored when theyre on the phone?

For example, the text messages are stored in Windows > Messaging.

Thanks

all PIM data (contacts, appointments, tasks) are stored in the file 'pim.vol' which is located in the root entry.

you also can use Sunnysoft Backup Manager to save all your data. You only have to rename the pim.vol to something else before restoring the data.

presumably cemail.vol is the mail, will this work as well?

Flubster,

if you can copy the file to another place it should work also.

Just to say cemail.vol cannot be copied via file manager, resco file manager or windows. Any other way to get this file?

OK, I wanted to backup the SMS's which was the main reason I wanted to backup the cemail.vol file. In the end I used the BackupSMS from a dopod WM2005 extended ROM and that worked fine :)
