Issue generated from Tuleap's migration script. Originally submitted by: ring user (username)

As the user should be in control of the application and not the other way round, the users should be able to to backup/archive they're account history, ie. the profile, contacts and the complete conversation history including all the messages, call records, file sending records. The data should be exportable not only to an encrypted form (used for profile backup, restore, transfer to another device), but also to an unencrypted form in a standard file format like a .txt file. It's required if a user wants to archive this data or wants to switch to another IM (or Ring dies), in the latter case, keeping Ring (which might not be possible to run) just to see some previous message or contact details is very troublesome, it's very common to disallow this in proprietary applications. Let's give the users freedom they deserve.
