I appreciate the inbox folder is not shown in the GUI.  Is there an inbox 
directory under your main mail storage?  This is mine:

$ ls -al Mail/inbox/
total 92
drwx------  5 michael michael  4096 May 31 15:23 .
drwx------ 16 michael michael  4096 May 31 13:18 ..
drwx------  2 michael michael 73728 May 30 23:38 cur
drwx------  2 michael michael  4096 Jul 17  2010 new
drwx------  2 michael michael  4096 May 30 23:25 tmp

You can check if your messages are shown under ../inbox/cur

If not you can manually copy them there.
