Hello,

First of all, let me say this is a GREAT app. Thanks for all your hard work on it!

This is a minor issue, but for the GMail app for Android (I use the Droid Incredible), the dates and times shown for the backed-up messages are the dates and times for when the messages were backed up to GMail, but not the actual dates and times that the original text message was sent.

There is a similar problem with the web-based GMail. In the inbox view, the dates on the very right are the dates when the latest text message of each thread was last backed up. However, clicking into the message thread, each individual message does show the correct date and time for the individual text message.

I'm not sure if this problem lies with how GMail deals with IMAP, or if this problem is resolvable from your end, but I just thought I'd ask.

Thanks again!

it's actually a problem with gmail's web interface / app. try reading the emails in a normal mail client, the dates should be correct.
