I'm trying to backup the text messages on my K850i, they are stored to the MicroSD.
I've tried FMA and My Mobile Explorer, FMA crashes after a few seconds, and My Mobile Explorer freezes after 12630 of 12637 messages.
I can't tell if it's certain messages causing it, so I was wondering where the SMS files are stored, so I can just copy those to my PC manually.
Does anyone know this?

Well, I'm not sure if you can see the SMS storage on the card because I could not find it. It is probable that it is stored on a hidden part of the partition so that is why SE phones would not accept cards formatted on computer.

However I know that emails are stored in \\System\\Messaging\\db and these are accessible.
