of course, dont run this binary if you dont trust me, and you do so at your own risk.

OK, I got a bit lost in reading the thread.

I would need to backup my SMSs. If I use the application from the first message of this thread I encounter every time the "Background thread stalled" error (because I have a lot of messages). Obviously backing the SMSs to computer with Ovi Suite won't work either, I had already forgot what a horror that program is.

So, the last resort would be merlin1991's "Harmattan SMS boat" which should be compiled from sources. Does this binary (though I could not find the .deb in the github but I trust that it is there somewhere) linked by wolke contain the SMS export functionality? Or just com history?

EDIT: and is this a .deb or something else? If something else, where should it be put on N9 (what path)? What is the command then to create the .csv? Is root access needed?
