I suspect that OE "Compacted" the mail files and after that , you have
missing messages.

Compacting doesn't "compress" mails, instead it recovers wasted space
from deleted messages and returns it to the operating system for other
programs to use.

Sometimes things can go wrong during compacting, such as the PC crashing
or being shutdown.

Take a look at these:
