Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/423

Using two different phones:

Wildfire S with Android 2.3.5
Sony Ericsson Experia Mini with Android 4.0.4
Both phones are using SMS Backup+ 1.5.5
Syncing against a Kerio Mailserver 8.2.2

Backup and restore of Call Logs works.
Backup of SMS works.

Restore of SMS does not work, but fails with "Error during backup/restore: Command UID SEARCH 1:* (OR HEADER X-SMSSYNC-DATATYPE '"SMS'" (NOT HEADER -XSMSSYNC-DATATYPE '"'" (OR HEADER X-SMSSYNC-TYPE '"1'" HEADER X-SMSSYNC-TYPE '"2'"))) UNDELETED; response #5# [BAD, UID, SEARCH, Malformed, search, request).

Tried renaming old SMS-folder on mail server and create new empty one, let backup create a few SMS and then try restore but same problem persists.

Great app though. Only wish I could get restore to work again.
