Hi, i have a S60v3 phone (N80) and i would like to know where in the filesystem is the Inbox folder, or where are the files received over bluetooth stored.

I found on another thread something saying that they were on "C:\system\mail", however i'm using Y-Browser and i don't have the mail folder.

Thanks.

That's the place on S60v3, too, I should think. However, Symbian OS 9 Platform Security and "data caging" makes application data private to the application, so you can't get to the files directly.

You can use the Messaging app to get to the files, or another app could call the messaging APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to get it from where the Messaging app stores things.

Direct and full file system access is only available to specially (digitally) signed and certified apps (which have been granted the, so called, AllFiles capability).

Y-Browser does not have AllFiles capability (neither does any published/released file manager).

AllFiles is not possible to obtain without manufacturer support (except for apps you build yourself and sign with a developer certificate for your own devices listed in the developer certificate).

I would assume the mail folders have moved into the sys folder which as noted above is not user accessible.
