As Mark and Mantias both clarified this is mainly after filtering INBOX to 
move to another folder. I can not say it is always like that though, I will 
keep an eye on it now and try see if that is the case.

Mark explained the behaviour perfectly. Apart from restart it CAN work to 
browse all folders you have - but not always. The error is not consistent and 
I see no pattern  (like a certain filter and not another) but appears 
regularly.

As I recall this has been happening since the filter remake in 4.8 (?).

The notifier (systray) in my case is set to show all new mail except for SPAM 
folder and that works. Finding the mail can now be difficult however. 

My worst case was finding a somewhat important mail several days after 
arrival. The notifier had actually stopped flagging for a new mail, by 
coincidence I opened the subfolder in question and suddenly a new mail 
appeared both in the notifier and in the folder.
