back up to gmail is darn good. its not via email. It is stored in labels(in gmail) as SMS, MMS and call log. you wont get the full thread in there(unless its under 100 texts lol) but it does a good job. Got most of my texts backed up.
Also sms back up & restore can back them up and send the file to your email(with a xsl tag to view in the browser) I dont no how well this works i dont use it. ~_~ but It sounds good.
