Not able to access restricted folders in mobile Nokia 73

HI,
I want to read the files that are recieved in restricted folder like 'Received File Folder' (on Nokia N73 Mobile Phone)  through mobile application implemented using J2ME WTK. I have tried to use self-signed certificate to sign the Midlet JAR and installed the certification as well in the Mobile's Certificate Store before installing the Midlet application, but  on running the application it does not allow ame ccess to that folder. Please let me know the necessary steps to acheive the objective.
I have followed the steps as described in the following link to sign the JAR using a self-signed certificate.

Hi Amitabh_Basu,

Have you set trust settings?  If the midlet is installed then you need to tell your phone to trust it. To some extent this can be done with or without a certificate. On a Nokia Series 60 phone the trust settings are found in the Application Manager.

Thanks for reply,
I' ve tried to set the trust settings but it doesn't give access to the system folder or inbox to open FileConnection.
To be precise, i am trying to read a file which i am recieving via bluetooth enabled device. I have tried to get hold of the file on the following 2 mobile devices:
1) Nokia 6085, where file transmitted via bluetooth is recieved in "Recieved Folder"
2) Nokia N73, where file transmitted via bluetooth is recieved in "inbox"

Is there any other way by which i can read the file?

Thanks
I see. Unfortunately there is no access to system folders using J2ME. You would need to use another language. In the case of Nokia S60 (your N73) the language would be Symbian C++. The S40 OS is very limited and closed. For the Nokia 6085 (S40) it is basically not possible at all.
Can you help me with few links (or sample code) that can help us solving this problem offcourse on Symbian C++. However, (on a side note) whether it is possible to achieve the result using Push Registry where we can read the file pushed on a specific port?
