        Hi,
I'm sorry, but starting with questions rather than answers because more
info needed:
- what's your evolution version?
- what account type is this? (I guess POP3)
- maybe they got marked as junk?
- when you run evolution from console, does it claim anything?

All your mails should be stored under
~/.evolution/mail
those from POP3 has its 'pop' folders, for other types other
subdirectory. Those POP3 messages are stored under On This Computer,
thus I would start searching there. They should stay in POP cache
probably too.
        Bye,
        Milan
