It's possible that KMail failed to write the emails to those (file system) 
folders. In this case the emails are only stored in the database KMail uses 
for faster access (as cache). You could try to copy those emails from your 
Inbox to a different folder with KMail and then see if they appear somewhere 
inside ~/local-mail or ~/.local-mail.directory.
