I installed xarchive, which backups SMS and MMS messages into your gmail account under the corresponding label (SMS and MMS labels are created).
Now, I have applied a new ROM to my phone, and would like to have those messages back on my phone. Does anyone know of any applications that will restore SMS/MMS from your gmail to your phone?

Anyone get this to work?
I flash it to MB, and have an MMS box in messaging, and and empty contacts list, then restore the contacts and emails from backup, and no longer have an mms box, and can no longer access my phone or my contacts list.
Is there another way of retrieving my backup messages??
Backup is SPB, is there a compatibility issue?
Just flashed the new dutty from old 6.1 and restored my messages with Sprite Backup. Only problem is now I have 6 unread email messages in accounts that are not setup on the phone. I can not create the accounts due to "The account name entered is already assigned to another account." messages when I try to make them, and they do not appear in the list of accounts in Messaging. Any way I can fix this by deleting the registry entries or whatever is telling the phone that the accounts exist? Home keeps telling me I have 6 new emails.

Nuclear option
For people who are annoyed by the phantom accounts that can appear after restoring from a backup like Sprite backup there is always the nuclear option. I was wondering where all the extra Hotmail accounts were coming from on my Manila2d Mail tab. After reading this and other threads I discovered that they would have come back courtesy of the cemail.vol file from a backup. I couldn't get the mail repair application to restore the phantom accounts and the little application at the Sprite website didn't seem to work either.
Here's the strategy that worked for me:
1. Do a full backup of your phone with Spriteback up except for the mail ie make sure the top level mail checkbox is unchecked.
2. Do a backup (using PIMBackup or similar) of just your SMS messages.
3. Hard reset your phone.
4. Restore from the backup in step 1 and your phone should be restored but with no email accounts.
5. Restore your SMS from the backup in step 2. If you had threaded SMS enabled on your phone you will need to kill tmail.exe and disable threading before the restore. After the restore kill tmail.exe and re-enable. If you don't do this it messes up the inbox completely.
6. Manually set up your email accounts again.
It's a bit of a bore to do all this and not a particularly nice solution but it does work.

sms backup from market syncs and backs up with your gmail account under a sms label.
Hello all,
Today I got a message on screen of my Lumia 720 which said that the message cannot be delivered as your inbox is full, please delete some messages!
What is this??? I have around 10 sms in the inbox? And it gets full??
Please help me..
That usually refers to either your voicemail inbox or your email inbox, not your SMS/MMS inbox. Check your email storage and your voicemail logs (it helps to delete the old ones; most carriers will only store a small number).

Thats quite confusing...! I dont have configured any voicemail or emails in the messages app.. How can I use just to get the normal SMS messages? :crying:
Hav eyou tried having somebody text you? I'm pretty sure your SMS delivery is working fine.
The Messaging hub doesn't handle voicemails (those are through the Phone hub) or emails (those are through whatever email accounts you have configured on your phone, probably including the Microsoft account that is the phone's primary account used to access the Store and all). Both voicemails and emails are "messages" as well.
