Pim.vol woes

[nuckymcnuck]

I tried to update 2.23 RWE to 2.27 RWE (WM6) without using Outlook (on a side note, does anyone know a good alternative?) so I copied pim.vol to my PC as well as the SD card.

After the upgrade didn't work (both by SD flash and Desktop installer), the "upgrade" obviously erased pim.vol. I tried the old trick of renaming, copy and pasting... alas it didn't work.

Anyone have any idea as to what to do?

After an exhaustive googling, I'm still none the wiser. I'd be great if I could have the contacts (name, number, email, etc) exported out to a CSV. I found a parser written in perl, but it doesn't seem to like WM6's pim.vol

If anyone can save me from hours of editing a 4MB text file to CSV, please let me know! :)

Best solution to copy all PIM data between different versions is PIMBackup .
You can move all contacts, phone calls log and SMS's to new unit .
