Viewing .ipd files on my computer
Hey everyone, I know this topic has been kind of addressed dozens of times on this site, but I haven't found the exact answer to the specific problem I have. I've used the BB Desktop Manager to backup my address book/calendar/notes/etc and I now have them saved on my desktop in a .ipd file. I've heard that I can only view these files on Microsoft Outlook. How can I convert the .ipd files into a type of file that Outlook, or any other program, can read?
Thanks a lot.
retrieving erased SMS from my .ipd file
Hi all,
my question is probably slightly different. I have my backup ipd file, and I can read it using Amber (now Elcomsoft Blackberry Backup Explorer 9.05). My problem is: Previous to backup, I have deleted a series of sms which I need to retrieve. I have already read someone say that "deleted sms are not anymore retreivable". However, I have evidence that at least part of them IS INDEED PRESENT IN THE IPD FILE. Evidence is:
a) I opened the ipd file with Notepad
b) It opened a huge file (167 MB) 90% full of illegible characters
c) I launched "search" with the number I received the sms from, and found here and there bits of them, legible and recognizable, mixed with illegible stuff
which means
d) the sms are still there. Elcom will not show them to me, but they are indeed there
Question: how do I retrieve these???
Thanks to anybody allowing me to solve this!

Retrieve deleted SMS messages from IPD ...
Dear sciottino:
If you spotted your deleted SMS Messages on the IPD file and nothing will retrieve them, they must be in the Purged Messages DB (or Saved Messages DB).
I have a program which reads and parses an IPD and produces various reports. The current release does not extract from the Purged Messages DB or Saved Messages DB. The next release will provide reports for those DBs.
See https://sites.google.com/site/ipdparse for current release.
Please send me a Private Message on this forum with your email address if you want me to send you a pre-release of ver 1.8 of IPD Parse.
In any event, save that IPD file !
