Alright so I just upgraded my 7100t to 4.0 from the 3.8 that came on the handset. I unchecked the "keep all data" checkbox because I wanted a clean slate. My contacts imported from my sim never was formatted correctly so I figured I'd take this opportunity to rebuld my address book. Well that turned out well, but now I lost all my messages on the handheld. I figured I could hit reconcile now and I'd get all my messages back, but no dice. Anyone have any ideas of how to get my email on my bwc mailbox back to my handheld?

Thanks in advance.

Check the Backup menu. You might be able to retrieve them there

If you don't have them in a backup file somewhere, your only option is to resend them to yourself.

So even if the messages still sit in my BWC mailbox, I can't retrieve 'em?
