What phone, AndroidOS version, and SMS Backup+ version are you running?

HTC Incredible, OS 2.2 (Skyraider 3.3.x, Virtuous ALL, all exhibit behavior), I am running SMS Backup+ 1.1.1.

Do you see a label 'SMS' in your gmail account? if not, try creating one manually. http://skitch.com/jberkel/dh5pt/soundcloud.com-mail-settings-jan-soundcloud.com

I was receiving the same error... I had an old label in gmail from the original SMS Backup program called "sms" (lowercase)... I changed the label in SMS Backup+ to also be lowercase to make it match what already existed in Gmail and voila - it worked!

My solution was similar to mjt071478's

I changed the existing label created from SMSBackup to SMS2, allowed SMSBackup+ to recreate and backup my SMS messages then moved the original backups to the new SMS folder and deleted the SMS2 directory.

Solved and issue closed...

IMHO it's not closed the issue; the sw could manage the case of an yet existing lowercase sms label in an automatic way without bringing me on this page :D

(Thanks, the sw is great!)
