With respect to having only 100 messages per contact (https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus#the-app-saves-only-100-smsmms-per-contact) perhaps the subject of the message saved in GMail could have some fuzzy-logic subject that helps keep messages from the same contact within a short interval together? A configurable interval if possible. For example, all messages to/from the same contact within 15-minutes of each other have the same subject. But if there's a message 16-minutes (or more) later to/from the same contact it gets a new subject and starts a new thread.

I know it's arbitrary, but I think it would work for me.

Thanks,
