Freeware propgram to save SMS to PC!

0 replies · 2,762 views · Started 23 August 2005

Actually it does not exist yet, I'm trying to write it. But I need your help: I must decode files stored in c:\system\mail, which actually hold the messages. c:\system\mail\INDEX file is actually not needed to store SMS on the PC, as it only contains partial info. But the single files in c:\system\mail folder structure are what I need: I can identify the message body and the sender number; I miss the "sent date" (I only analyzed received messages). If somebody here can get which format the date is stored in, it should be quite simple for me to write the program.

I suspect the date info is stored in 4 or 6 bytes, 31 bytes far from file-end. Can anybody confirm? Which is exactly the format used?

Thanks for your help.

(This is a cross-post from UIQ section, as I suppose the SMS format is the same).
