Hello

I am a student at the university of Berne (Switzerland)
As part of my study I have to create a backup utiliy for Windows Mobile 5.
It's only academical and will not be going to public...

I have put a lot of work into it, and it's working quite good now, but I
cannot backup the mails (cemail.vol)-Database.
I'm coding with .NET. I just can't get access to this database, whatever I
am doing, it's just not working...

It's really exasperating, I just can't get a solution...

If anyone could help me, I would be really happy! I would even pay some 100$
(paypal) if anyone can provide me with a code which lets me backing up and
restoring the cemail-database!

Please don't misunderstand, I don't want you to do my homework, it's just a
small part of the whole application which I cannot seem to get working...
I've read a lot of text and postings about this, it seems to be very
difficult, but I know that several companies succeeded in it. Also a little
hint would be very much appreciated!

Thanks a lot

Roger

AFAIR cemail.vol on WM5 is still using the "old" CE database format. If you
are using the new EDB APIs, try change them and use the old CEDB calls.

HTH,
