I no longer have SMS conversations in PC app.
Only sent and received separately. Original Samsung SMS app on phone works fine.

Never seen the need to have 'conversation' mode myself with SMS message but there you go .... On the MPE PC app window, expand the 'Messages' window on the left then click 'Conversations'. By default it's set to 'Inbox' which is messages only ....

Thanks for your response, I should have been more clear.
Hundreds of sent messages after Jan 2017 are missing, about 90%. I have all the received ones.
I just reinstalled 1.8.8 and it is the same.

In my case it seems converstations with one person are updated but not another it's inconsistent. One person is updated to a few days ago only.

I think I figured out why some of my messages are not backing up with MPE.

After researching various tools for backing up I came across a reference stating no apps can back up Rich Communication Services RCS messages. I just upgraded to a newer T-Mobile phone that has their own proprietary version of RCS called "Advanced Messaging" built it. So sometimes it will send/receive as an RCS message (another T-Mobile user) sometimes it won't.
Most of my kids (I have a bunch!) also switched to T-Mobile phones recently so now their messages are RCS.

To verify I opened the message app>press and hold a message>View message details
Type: Chat or (Chat being the RCS messages)
Type: Text Message are backed up

I really liked using MPE for browsing searching messages even made a few donations through the years (unusual for me!) but will now have to use another method/tool or try to figure out how to disable RCS messaging in my new phone.

I would be embarrassed to tell you how much time I spent trying to figure this out and hope this helps other users.
