I didn’t want to flash the phone, so I figured out a simpler way of recovering the code off the phone. This may or may not work with other phones and may or may not hose it. Here goes (windoze based) -

• Install Nemesis Service Suite (NSS).
• Connect the phone through a USB cable, choose pc-suite mode on the phone.
• In NSS, go to the Phone Info section and the Permanent Memory tab.
• Read the permanent memory into a file.
• Open this file in a text-editor, it is organised in numbered sections. Locate section [308] and the line starting with 5= within this section.
• The 5 ASCII values (in hexadecimal) following 5= should be the security code. For instance, if the code was 12345, the line would be 5=3132333435 …

For older Nokia phones, just use this master security code generator.

Disclaimer: Although the script fixed my database, you should verify that your symptoms are the same. I am not liable for any issues due to this script :-).

macro index,pager wa "<pipe-message>grep \"\^From:\" | head -n 1 | cut -d \"<\" -f2 | cut -d \">\" -f1 | (read a; spamassassin --remove-addr-from-whitelist=\$a)<enter>" "Remove from spamassassin AWL"

Here are some other spamassassin related macros I use -

macro index,pager wc "<pipe-message>spamassassin -t | tail -n 30<enter>" "Run through spamassassin and check score"
macro index,pager ws "<pipe-message>sa-learn --showdots --spam<enter>" "Learn message as spam"
macro index,pager wh "<pipe-message>sa-learn --showdots --ham<enter>" "Learn message as ham"

Why?

Gmail doesn’t provide a search to search for unlabelled conversations. This is quite handy if you like to keep all emails labelled and have forgotten to label some.

Where?

Install greasemonkey, then, right-click gmailUnlabelled to install. If you’re on the new version of install gmailUnlabelled2.

Tips, Tricks and Gotchas!

1. The search string can’t be formed when the label box is collapsed.
2. If the search throws up ‘conversations’ (threads) with labels, it could be because of two reasons -
   1. The ‘conversation’ has atleast one email without a label - Gmail groups emails into conversations but labels are applied to each individual email. So if a conversation has even one email without a label, it will show up in the search results. Most people will run into this issue if they’ve been using gmail for a while. (See update dated 3rd August 2007 below).
   2. The label has some special characters that gmailUnlabelled can’t handle. Please report this.
3. Firefox only of course! IE users click here.

Update (15th June 2006)

Script updated to work with some recent changes. Also, from this version one could search for ‘-label‘ to find all unlabelled emails in gmail.

Update (3rd August 2007)

If you’ve been a gmail user for a while, the first time you use gmailUnlabelled could be confusing as it’d probably throw up conversations that apparently have email. Select all such conversations and attach a dummy label (’old’ or ‘read’). Now you’re ready for gmailUnlabelled. Use it often and its easier to keep all emails labelled. In a couple of days, you’d also figure out why the dummy label was necessary. ;-)

Update (13th November 2007)

gmailUnlabelled does not work with “gmail 2.0″. I will work on an update ASAP.

Gmail 2.0 update (16th November 2007)

If you’re on the new version of gmail a.k.a. “gmail 2.0″ (Nov 2007), use the new script - gmailUnlabelled2.

Update (8th Febuary 2008)

Google just tweaked the interface which broke the script (again!). I’ve now updated it.

Why?

Quite a few of us use gmail as a secondary email access tool. The common use is to forward all incoming email to a gmail address. Gmail already has custom from addresses, this allows you to use your gmail account to send and respond to emails using your old, primary (non-gmail) email address. The only limitation of this is that you wouldn’t have a copy of the emails you send from your gmail account at your primary email access location.

Where?

Install greasemonkey, then, right-click gmailAutoBcc to install. It’ll ask you for an email address the first time you click on ’send’ through gmail. If you’re on the newer version of gmail (Nov 2007), use gmailAutoBcc 2.0.

Tips, Tricks and Gotchas!

• If you want it to cc an address instead of BCC, set the preference gBccHeader to cc
• If you want it to prompt every time, set the preference gBccPopup to true
• If you want to disable gmailAutoBcc, set the preference gBccEnabled to false
• If someone else uses your browser to send emails from gmail, you might get a copy of their outgoing emails. (Cool ain’t it?)
• Oh yeah, firefox only of course!

Setting Preferences in Firefox

To change any firefox preference, type about:config in the address bar and press enter. In the filter field, type the name of the preference. Double click on the result to change it.

Update (15th June 2006):

gmailAutoBcc now supports bcc/cc based on identities. i.e., it can bcc or cc to different addresses based on the from address being used. To enable this, toggle the preference gBccMapFromAddress to true. You’re prompted for a new bcc/cc address everytime you use a new “Identity” (from address). This is based on José’s request.

To remove bcc/cc for a particular identity (say, from@address.com), search for the preference gBccMail_from@address.com and change it to the string disabled.

If you do enable this feature, be prepared for a pop up the first time you send email from every one of your addresses.

Update (2nd November 2007):

It appears that gmailAutoBcc fails with “gmail 2.0″. I’m not on gmail 2.0 yet, but I promise to work on a fix as soon as I am.

Gmail 2.0 update (16th November 2007):

If you’re on the newer version of gmail a.k.a. “gmail 2.0″ (Nov 2007), use gmailAutoBcc 2.0.
