Like I said, ALL my messages disappeared along with ALL of my CONTACTS....rebooted multiple times but no joy. Got any real solution besides trying to let me know how smart *** you are?
First two results in Google search:
HELP, please: N9 all messages gone. Disappeared!

Let it sit for a few minutes, like Discoveryellow suggests. Or reboot; it should solve the problem.
Look up whether you have file "/home/user/.cache/tracker/meta.db", as juiceme suggests. Unfortunately, it's not messages-DB (its location is unknown), but merely tracker-DB.
Leinad says that from his own experience... losing all messages happens so often to him on the N9 that he got used to it.

[N9] SMS and IM gone, new messages stored blank
csaavedra says that tracker-stats tell him that there are a few thousands IM and SMS messages, so they are not lost - they would just not appear in the UI..
Try query
Code:
tracker-sparql -q "select nie:plainTextContent(?d) where {?d a nmo:SMSMessage}"

Its a deficiency of Harmattan from what I see it as...Android too was restricted to 5,000 messages till ICS after which the limit is now 10,000 messages before it starts to lag and causes all sorts of issues...
Best wishes.
