Files of interest:
/cache/volleyCache//databases/babel#.db(our device had babel0.db and babel1.db)/shared_prefs/accounts.xml
The cache directory contains .0 files, as discussed in the Google Maps example earlier. The files contain a URL to fetch the profile pictures of contacts, as well as a .jpg embedded within the file. Visiting the URL or carving the .jpg from the file will recover the contact's picture.
The babel#.db file contains all messaging data. On our test device, babel0.db was blank, and babel1.db had all of the data for the active account. There are many tables within this database worth looking at:
