Won't recognize that messages aren't backed up #1043

Closed ardunster closed 3 years ago

ardunster commented 3 years ago

I got SMS Backup+ working using a custom email address run through my web host, since the Gmail steps quit working and I wasn't willing to use the security settings required these days.

It has been working great, until.... apparently I had limited space in that email address and hadn't noticed. I fixed the limited space problem, but for the past month it hasn't been receiving my backup attempts.

Expected behaviour

SMS Backup+ should recognize that the messages are not stored in the email and back them up, if not automatically, at least on a manual backup.

Actual behaviour

It didn't. I reset and tried a backup from only the most important contact I wanted to back up, it said it was backing up some 20k messages, but apparently decided they'd all been backed up as it went through them in only a minute or two and no new messages are stored in my email.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Try to back up messages on a full email account. Make the email account not full. Try again.

Please specify the following:

Try "clear app data", which will reset the app's idea of what the last-backed-up message was.

(Sometimes this gets out of synch, especially if the clock in your device is wrong.)

Thanks for the suggestion. That phone is unfortunately no longer functional so I won't be able to try it, my new phone is iOS.

Thanks for letting us know.
