Hi!

Unfortunately I do not have a foolproof solution to this, I did indeed do the stupidest thing and hard-resetted the tracker DB's, but I was really lucky as I had backups.

It actually took me a day to realise I was not gutted with this, as my last "official" backup was more than a month before.
First I restored the backups I had from the previous month, but later I noticed that just a day before I messed up my tracker, I actually had done a full directory dump to tarfile from my /home/user/ when I played around with system booting...

So, as far as I know if you do not have backups you are in a bad shape indeed

What you could do is anyway copy off the DB that contains the messages to an external computer and search for the messages there. If you have just DB corruption and not tracker initialization problem then you could maybe fish off something from the DB.
See the discussion http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1294415, there is info on how to access the DB containing the SMS'es
