You're not losing old messages. By default Gnus only displays unread
messages when it enters a group. This is fundamental Gnus
functionality and is true (and intuitive) for newsgroups, but
sometimes surprises people for mail folders.
Look in the manual for how to enter groups such that old messages are
displayed.
