Over my entire career I have never seen such a scenario unless one is restoring from an incomplete backup. But all  the emails should be recoverable upto the day outlook stopped working/receiving emails. If the database was bad there would be no way of getting even the few mails, so there should b other issues.

If this persists, I might want to have a look and advise. You can pm  me privately.
