This is a good suggestion as it is hard to delete a bunch of messages (but not
all)
from a thread using the default Messaging app.
I'm not sure whether such a complex rule setting could be done in a nice UI,
but I'll
keep the idea in mind.
It's nice to have the backup program not modify anything, so maybe we could
create a
second app that somehow plugs into SMS Backup.

Yeah, that's a good point. Having a backup program deleting stuff would
definitely
raise some eyebrows, even if it only offered as an option.
I wonder if the API would allow us write access to the messaging portion of the
OS.
I have a feeling that something like that would require root access. In that
case,
it would make even more sense for this to be a separate app. Otherwise, people
without the JesusFreke mod would go bananas and claim that the purging function
does
not work.

The API does provide means to edit and remove SMS, so that's not a problem.

Ideally, I was hoping for an app that seamlessly "replaced" the Messaging app
and put
all SMS/MMS online, with nice browsing / viewing from thither. This "backup to
online" is great, but feels a bit like a "half-complete" solution, to me. But
that
may just be that I'm looking for a slightly different app than what this is
supposed
to be.

@chstuder: Instead of the complex rules, why not choose something like:
- Delete SMS (from phone) after (successful) backup (to email)
Also @johnsca: You can use Google Voice, which does exactly that. Turn off SMS
forwarding and all your email is in Google Voice. However, there's a major flaw
with
the GV solution and that is, Data coverage is not as wide spread as the plain
ol voice
coverage (SMS travels in that garbage/throw away space of cell service). The
only
solution to this is to keep getting SMS forwarded to your phone as well as get
them
through GV, but turn off the SMS app notification. That way, you get a dual sms
feed,
but only get notified for the GV SMS.

Great suggestion and very needed.
Old Treo's had an option to purge all SMS older than 2 weeks, 1 month etc.
Android lacks a way to purge old messages and keep newer ones which is really
quite
essential to free up memory...

well i agree with junoonie , the app should delete the old messages
simultaneously or later after a successful back up because i have like 10,000
or more sms on my phone at this very moment and it would be a tedious job to
delete the messages after the backup. so if the app could do it for me in a
faster and a better manner that would be really nice .

I will throw in my 2 cents on this as well. I would LOVE to have the program
be able to be configured in such a way that it backs up all messages over 30
days old (or some user-configurable number), and once it's backed up, delete
them from the phone.
I stumbled upon this app when looking for an SMS Archiving program. This app
seems to be right at the edge of that, and with a quick push could easily be
that app...
GMail has given us a ton of storage space, while our phones do not. I'd like
to see this app run once a day (like in the middle of the night when I'm on
wifi), archive all messages over 30 days old, then wipe the archived messages
from my phone. Thereby keeping the phone fairly clean, but still having access
to the most recent SMS messages on the phone itself.
