There should have been thousands from the past
five or six weeks.

You might want to check the hard disk of OS X, to make sure Mail hasn't
downloaded the email and then deleted them from the server

You might also want to make sure there aren't any hidden (unsubscribed)
folders on the IMAP server. Many email clients will default to a setting
of "show only subscribed folders", so if your email has been moved to
another folder on the server, they would become "hidden"

Unfortunately I've focused on Cyrus IMAP, so I have no idea where
dovecot stores its email, so I couldn't tell you where to look for it
