I'm currently using the N9 and love it. One problem im having is absolutely killing me. I am trying to backup a conversation to my PC in a readable format but cant find a way how...

On my N900 I opened Ovi Suite, synced my messages and just screenshot what was required which worked perfectly. Only problem is, N9 isn't compatible with Ovi Suite

There are over 10,000 messages in this conversation and I cannot afford to lose this as my N900 would wipe all conversations once they reach a certain size is reached.

Pleaseeee help

... and your message back up file (zip) is in .backups folder (if you have done it by your N9 through settings - backup) ...

hope someone comes up with an immediate backup to a specified email address like on blackberry.

I need to find out how to make it appear as the conversation with mine on the left, im so close to getting there

PS. After the initial sync it was only showing the number but after 5 minutes it showed the contact name so I was cheering! I just need to find a way to separate the messages


Here's how I done it:

"For those seeking an easier way to sync contacts and calendars using Outlook without going through the cloud (ie, using gmail as a MFE server), then I have stumbled across a solution that works.

Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290 will recognise and sync with the N9. It works. You can then upgrade to the current Ovi Suite and it will continue to work – but only if you have created the sync under the 3.0.0.290 version.

Steps:
- When you are installing 3.0.0.290, turn off internet connections otherwise Ovi Suite will automatically upgrade before installing
- Once installed, turnoff auto-update software (for now) and plug your handset in. It will recognise, install drivers, and say it is ready
- Confirm your sync settings, and press sync.
- You can then go back online and agree to update your Ovi Suite to the current release"

Follow that to a T and you'll have your Nokia N9 syncing with the previous version of Nokia Suite...

If it doesn't, is there a way to delete what messages have been synced in Ovi and then re sync them in the new version?
