Im really after an all-in-one solution that will let me archive all messages older than x weeks and then delete them.

Ive found a couple of apps thatll do the archiving. The one I am currently using (SMS Backup) only supports SMS messages but it uploads them to GMail as individual "emails" which is nice for being able to search them.
I could really do with this exact functionality with the inclusion of MMS. I have a lot of design pictures on my phone that I really need to backup :/

Ive also found an app that can do the deletion but its a little flaky (SMS Cleaner Free).


I know I could write my own but Im wondering if theres anything out there that does this already as Id much rather pay (maybe $10) than spend my time developing it !

Roger, roger

I noticed that Handcent was getting a little laggy and when I dug a little deeper (checked my Wavesecure backup), I noticed I had over 1600 messages in the handsets database !

Im going to have a bit more of a poke around but I think I might just write my own (or sell the idea to Sam lol).

I started tapping out a reply but in doing so youve got me thinking ! So, Im going to pop off for a brain juice and a sit in the garden whilst I (over) engineer my idea of a perfect solution
