Well, I have messages dating back to 2006. I don't think messages expire so unless you've deleted them they should be there. Check all the links under your inbox (like Saved Messages or any message folders you've created). Also check your "Rules, folders & settings" to see if maybe you have an auto-delete or auto-save rule set up or something. Also keep in mind that your inbox only shows messages you've received, not messages you've sent.
EDIT: It appears that any folder can store up to 350 messages (seems a little low for plain text, no?) and there is a setting for "If folder is full: Delete oldest messages." If somehow you've managed to fill your inbox in less than a year, and that rule is turned on, you'd lose old messages.
