    Yes!!  Now I remember having similar problems with fetchmail and 
kmail.  Kjel, are you by any chance using SuSE?  They activated 
fetchmail by default.  The missing messages can be accessed by mutt.  
The only way I found to stop the conflict was by de-activating 
fetchmail - which I probably did with a superb lack of sophistication.
