OE "losing" messages

This has happened a couple of times lately: I download email messages and I'm told that I have, say, 5 new messages. Only 3 appear in the viewing pane. What's going on? Is this a counting error by OE, or is something being downloaded that is not email..? How do I figure out what, if anything, accounts for this discrepency?
 
Download and install TweakUI:

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

After installing, go to Start > Programs > PowerToys for Windows XP >
TweakUI. Expand "Logon" and uncheck "Show unread mail on Welcome screen".

Note: Unread message alerts may indicate you have unread messages not only
in Outlook Express, but Hotmail and/or MSN email accounts as well.
