All

I am new Maemo User and have just upgraded from the N97 to the N900.

I seem to have "lost" my draft email messages from N97 which were stored on the memory card (which is now inside the N900).

I understand that the N900 does not support (yet) folders such as drafts but is there anyway I can find these messages saved on my memory stick using the power of N900?

The main purpose of this query is that I had saved an email with a very large attachment (600MB) in my N97's draft folder and then deleted the original file. As a 600MB file cannot be "emailed" - I lost the ability to transfer/use/edit the video forever.

Im hoping that the open nature of N900 (possibly the x-terminal?) will allow me to fetch and extract this saved draft from my memory card and the video attached to it.

(P.S I have looked in every folder/subfolder inside the memory card but cannot find any drafts or any attachments). I know the attachment is still there as I can view it when I put the memorycard back in my N97.


Any help appreciated.

Thank you

No one can help?

This question would need the input on an N97 expert, as the problem at this point is identifying the folder, file, and file format that contains the thing you are looking for. The N900 File Manager doesn't show absolutely every file, so you may need to use the Terminal to access it.

You may be better off putting the card into a desktop/laptop computer, though, and looking there.

you could try this:
in xterm, input the following two commands:
(i assume sd cards get mounted in /media/mmc, but i could be wrong about that...)

this command will search all subdirectories, including hidden ones, for files bigger than ~500MB.
