Howdy,
I'd perfer to keep my sms & call logs in a nested label rather than cluttering up the label bar. Gmail tells me label's path is /personal/logs/phone_sms but SMS Backup + complains when I give it that path.
Thanks,
-Jon

Hi All,
So the issue is the initial /. When I changed the label to personal/logs/phone sms fixed the problem. Gmail allows labels to contain a slash it not exclusively for delineating sub labels which is causses Gmail Backup Plus to throw an error, something dealing with select and error #6.

Currently does not works with nested labels:
Both "backup\sms" and "backup/sms" correspond to the regular labels.
"backup-sms" (as GMail shows nested label) returns error:
"SELECT "backup-sms"; response: #6# [NO, [NONEXISTANT], Unknown mailbox: backup-sms (Failutre)]
