What sort of mail account are you using? POP, IMAP, Hotmail, or Exchange?

If you're using IMAP, try opening the folder and pressing Option (Alt) -
Command (Apple) - L. That does a special repair of the message list and
should force the list to match the server contents if for some reason they
are not the same. I've had success doing that wit one of my IMAP accounts.

If you are using POP, do you have the "Leave messages on server..." option
checked in Tools -> Accounts / Options tab?
