Recently wiped the hard drive and resinstalled OS X. Performed a full back-up of my system to an external HD, and thought all the emails in Mail were saved in the back-up, but apparently I was wrong. Anyway I can get them back?
Look in "/<username>/Library/Mail/" and see if there is a folder in there named after your email address. Look through it and see if you can find a folder full of numbered files. If so, these are your old emails.

You are officially fantastic -- thank you so much. I had looked through the Library before and somehow missed the Mail folder.
