Im generating this post for other users because I was unable to google an answer for this problem.

Today my blackberry 8700c began generating the following error when trying to access my inbox. As a result of this error I was unable to access my inbox.

Uncaught exception: DSSMA: invalid state [5] 2

I found that by removing and reinserting the battery the problem was resolved. I also went ahead and deleted most of my inbox messages just in case to free up space.

Hopefully this will help any others who may experience this problem.
