There should be no difference. Did anything change between checking the 
mail and using Ctrl+L? Did you probably check mail from the "server" in 
between?

BTW, I think it's confusing to talk about a server and a client. As far 
as KMail and the IMAP resource is concerned there is an IMAP server and 
there are several KMail clients. It is irrelevant whether KMail runs on 
the server machine or the client machine (except for general problems 
w.r.t. the communication between client machine and server machine, 
e.g. due to blocked ports of the IMAP server; but those problems are 
completely unrelated to KMail's functionality, and so they should be 
separated from problems with setting up the IMAP resource functionality 
with KMail).
