Hi, I’ve used these pim.vol back instructions successfully in the past, thanks. This time though, my Orange SPV M3100 handset has been replaced and restoring my old pim.vol to my new handset does not work. It changes the file size and then crashes Contacts. I suspect there has been a firmware update between my old handset and the new one. Is there any way of converting the pim.vol or extracting the data to use iin some other way?

Thanks,
Matt

Not exactly what you asked for but: On that device you can select that all email attachments get stored on the storage card, that should help a bit.

I have a new desktop computer using MS-Vista and MS-Office 2007, plus I have a new Treo 700wx PDA with the Windows Mobile operating system. With only 64 MB of user memory in the PDA, is there a way to transfer a very-large Outlook data file to the SD card, which I can increase to well beyond 1GB? I run a consulting business and have over 7,000 contacts, plus a pretty full calendar that I keep in Outlook 2007. I’m having no luck synchronizing such a large Outlook file to the limited internal Pocket PC memory.

Thanks,
