I have no idea why your messages aren't showing up, but you can find
the messages in your home directory.
All the mozilla stuff is in a directory in your home directory called
.mozilla, so if you're browsing in Konqueror, set it to view hidden
files; if you're doing this from the command line, use the command "ls
-a" (without the quotes, of course) rather than plain "ls".
Inside that directory, there will be a directory for each of your
profiles. change to that and you'll see a directory with an
incomprehensible name like ivj8x58h.slt. Inside that is your Mail
directory which contains your Inbox and any other mail folders you
have created. These are stored as humungous text files, so just open
the apropriate one in a text editor like Kwrite and use Find with a
word that's likely to be in the mail you're looking for. Tedious, I
know, but useful for emergencies like this.
BTW, I always set Mozilla Mail to only delete messages on the server
when I delete them in Mozilla - that way any mail I don't delete is
safely sitting on the server (this feature is also very useful if
you're connecting from more than one computer - in fact it's the main
reason why I use Mozilla rather than KMail).

Either that, or you can copy and paste everything from Linux in the mail
folder of your Mozilla profile. Onto a disk/cd-r or a windows based
partition and move it over to a windows based computer/OS. Simply Place
the files that you copied over in a fresh profile of mozilla following
the directions from the previous poster above. The profiles work and act
_ALMOST_ exactly the same between the two operating systems. So if you
have a dual booting system you can share the same profile if needed. So
it should work if the messages are actually there.
