The IMAP UID of those old messages has probably changed and therefore 
KMail removed them because it thought they were gone. And it didn't 
rediscover the old messages because they are not flagged as NEW.

I suggest to delete KMail's index files for your IMAP inbox. You can 
find it under
  ~/.kde(4?)/share/apps/kmail/imap/.<some number>.directory/
Remove the files:
.INBOX.index* (several index files)
INBOX (cache of the message headers)

I have more messages in my inbox.
