Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/558

On advanced settings - Backup settings I activated the "Email subject prefix". Now all backed up SMS subject appears with "[SMS]" at the beginning. The problem is that with this activated all call logs are backed up with the same prefix as SMS. The expected behavior would be a subject with "[Call logs]" at the beginning. I'm using version 1.5.9.

do you store call logs and SMS in the same folder?

No. SMS are backed up to folder "SMS" and the call log is backed up to "Call log". When I activate the "Email subject prefix" everything is backed up to the SMS folder.

I just checked the code, "Email subject prefix" can't possibly influence in which folder the mail is stored. I also can't reproduce the bug. Make sure that you have a different labels set for call logs, it looks like it is set to "SMS" for some reason.

Sorry, I didn't describe the issue well. What is affected is the subject of the e-mail. Here goes an example of what is happening on gmail

The folders for the call log and sms are being set correctly on gmail. The problem is with the subject of the e-mail. All SMS are being stored with a subject beginning with "[Call log]".

So maybe the SMS label configuration is wrong then. can you double check the preferences?

your settings look ok. another explanation could be that gmail is threading conversations from SMS + call log into one, and it only looks like the subject is wrong. maybe check on individual mails?

I checked individual messages and the subject is correct. Gmail is threading messages with different subjects. I didn't know gmail did this

I never noticed before that it did this sort of thing. Sorry about wasting your time looking for a bug in your app.

no problem! if you want to help in any way I'd appreciate if you could test the latest beta from https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/releases. i'd like to do another release soon and need more people to actually test the code.
