I just dragged the csv of the texts into the mail N900 directory. Does it need to go somewhere else? I could not see the MyDocs location when I connectd via USB.

What are we doing wrong?

I has disconnected from the USB but am still getting the error. I renamed the .csv file with all my texts to "sms.csv".

So now I have 3 files:
smsimporter (unzipped)
sms.csv (that came with smsimporter)
sms.csv (renamed personal text csv)

All in the main folder you see when connecting the N900 i.e. above .documents, .sounds etc.

Is this correct?

There is no sms.csv shipped with the importer :)
Now open terminal, "cd" to the directory with the files and execute these commands
FIrst: chmod +x smsimporter
Second: run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv

strange. I have 2 sms.csv files. I will delete the one that I didnt create.

Noob questions:
Is the root directory when you plug in the N900 via USB the same as the MyDocs folder? Thats where I ahve the sms.csv file and smsimporter

I navigate to MyDocs successfully but when I enter chmod +x smsimporter it is still telling me in Xterm "no such file or directory":confused:

Are you shure the file is there? Look for it with "ls" or "dir"

Thats so strange. I see it in file manager app and when I connect the N900 to a PC via USB in the top Nokia N900/ folder.
I unzipped smsimporter on my PC then dragged it directly to main N900 folder.

How do I move the files from the default/ main N900 dir (the one when you just click on the N900 in windows explorer when connected via USB) to MyDocs?

I'm using Windows Vista..

thanks in advance, if u'd help me out with this problem... I really need my old messages into n900
Hi zb88,

After saving old messages to csv, open that file to a text editor in PC and check that the separator between fields is semicolon (";") and not a comma.

smsimporter (or pc suite csv save) doesn't do 100% job, I found a set of messages from one sender, they got assembled to a conversation in n900, looked fine in main view, but content was empty..

You can move the files with X_terminal app.
the command is:
mv <filename> <path/filename>
example: move file xyz.csv from current dir (/home/user) to MyDocs, that is under user:
mv xyz.csv MyDocs (keep the same filename)
mv xyz.csv MyDocs/xyz.csv (does the same)
mv xyz.csv MyDocs/abc.csv (rename file while move)

On my Vista, the "main" folder I see from N900 is MyDocs/.documents (dot in dirname makes it hidden)
