Have you tried reading any of those old messages to be sure they are
actually on disk?  You may have a messed up overview file.  That used
to happen to me all too often when I used nnml (and even now, with
nnimap, I find it occasionally necessary to delete overview files so
that summaries don't show old messages that don't really exist any
more).
