To make sure that your local email folders are updated, go to Folder ▸ Refresh. This will ensure that all of your emails have been downloaded from the mail server onto your computer so that you can read them all, and that the read status is synced with the mail server.
You can also double-click on the folder name to refresh it, or press F5.
