    Yep, and here's what else is backed up to iCloud:

    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books

    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll

    Device settings

    App data

    Home screen and app organization

    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages

    Ringtones

    Visual Voicemail

    Messages are backed up, but they aren’t synced which is why you can’t see them on iCloud.com. The “mailbox” you mentioned is your iCloud email account.

    Backups are all or nothing. You can’t pull one thing out of them. You have to restore the whole backup onto your device.
