Thanks for a bug report. It sounds like you've some filter applied on the folder. When you select your Inbox and look above the message list, is there shown:
   
 Show: [All Messages] Search: [Subject or Addresses contain] in [Current folder]

or anything similar? Please try to write some text in the Search entry, like "aaa", then press Enter, then delete that text and press Enter again. Will anything change in the message list?

Comment 2 Heiko Adams 2011-05-04 20:01:31 UTC
Okay, my fault. I don't know why but the filter for unread messages was active.

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2011-05-05 04:50:25 UTC
Good. I recall a bug report about filters being inherited from other folder on folder changing, but not indicated in the UI, thus everything looked like no filter is applied though the message list was filtered. That's why I asked for "set filter and unset filter". Good this wasn't a case for you.
