Outlook or Outlook Express?
It's possible this is because the program is only showing you unread
messages.
In Outlook Express, choose View > Unread Only (Uncheck)
In Outlook, look at the Views menu option. Off the top of my head I don't
remember what menu this is in, and I can't launch Outlook at home.
