Martin, if you look in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail (and sub-directories, depending 
on your distro) can see see the messages there? Can you check the datestamps 
to see if the missing messages do appear?

Assuming that the missing messages should be in your Inbox, with kmail closed, 
delete all index files relating to Inbox.  They will be recreated.

I can't guarantee that it will get your messages back - it depends how much 
damage has been done - but it's worth a try.  It definitely won't make your 
situation worse.

Whatever happens about this, you need to work out what happened with that 
crash.  It is certainly not normal for the kernel to crash.
