SL Crash after Login, lost offline messages

I just logged into SL, and some Offline IMs appeared. One second later SL closed and the crash logger did his job. After logging back in, the messages were gone. Is there a way to get those messages back? Are they maybe in the cache somewhere?
(I get messages by customers, so it would be nice if I could get those messages back...)

I don't know if you can get back those specific ones; if your settings are like mine you can, otherwise you may want to consider these for the future.

1) I have all offline IMs sent to my email. That means that as well as making sure I get them, I can also reply to them by email without logging into SL (useful if I'm at work). The setting is in Edit Preferences.

2) I also log all IMs (Edit preferences again). I can then go to the folder on my HD and sort by date and the newest ones will come to the top
