Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/540

It worked great on my last phone but has never backed up once on the new phone. It says Error during backup/restore:Command: SELECT "SMS"; response: #6# [NO,[NONEXISTENT], Unknown Mailbox:SMS (Failure)]

I have the same gmail account, haven't changed settings, and verified that they were still set the way they were when this app last worked for me. i've recommended this app to so many people. I'm disappointed it isn't working especially since i have many important texts that my phone won't let me lock (yet another S5 issue)

I unchecked all imap stuff and rechecked it. now it backs up straight text
but no mms or call logs.
