X-)

Anyway, when you suspect on filters, just enable the filters log to get a 
clue of where is e-mail being dropped.

Mmm... so you have a folder with no unread messages but still stating 
there is (1) unread messages (marked in bold) in the folder's pane. Right?

Could it be that you are applying some kind of rules for displaying only 
messages that matches a common pattern (like showing just today's ones, 
coming from a concrete sender or so)?

Also, you can try (just in case) to "rebuild index" and/or "compacting" 
the offending folder. Thunderbird (Icedove) sometimes can go nuts with 
its internal bd and hides e-mails or does weird things :-)

(make a full backup of you Thunderbird profile before performing a 
rebuild of index)

Thunderbird allows to select what folders you want to see in the folder's 
pane (most used, all folders, smart folders...). In addition, it allows 
you to select what kind of message view you want for each folder (show 
unread e-mails, received today e-mails, tagged e-mails...). Just be sure 
you are not applying any of these options and all folders/e-mails are 
being displayed.
