quick pop-up window in thunderbird pop-up window says I have 5 messages, but only one was in the in-box.
I am using Thunderbird for Mac. A pop-up alert says I have message from so-and-so plus 4 others. Only so-and-so's message was in the in-box. What happened to the other four? Has this anything to do with the "Junk" status because whenever I received unsolicited mail I mark them as junk? Or is there any other reason?

Have you checked your junk folder? It may well be messages which are getting classified as junk.
Do you run any filters?
1. I have a Trash folder but not a junk folder. Is there one by default or do I have to create one? 2. Wish I knew how to run a filter. It's because I don't know how to run a filter that I mark unwanted emails as junk.
Junk = SPAM If you mark say your deleted mail as junk it will not be long and all your mail will be considered junk. Junk folders come in a variety of names for IMAP accounts (Bulk mail, SPAM Junk etc). For POP and Local folders they are Junk.
Filters are described here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Filters_%28Thunderbird%29
In general, creating filters isn't necessarily a good way to fight spam. Check this article for more information on setting up your junk mail controls.
Thank you for the link. For a computer ignoramus like me it may take some reading but ... got to start somewhere.
Thank you too for the link, and again I will try and make some sense of what I am reading.
