In fact, this just happened to me with your mail ;-)

I have the same problem occasionally (using an IMAP mailbox) but never really recognized a pattern. But I'm rather sure it only happens when I start Sylpheed. As far as I remember, it has never been the case when mails arrived while Sylpheed was up and running.

Whenever it happens I simply apply filters manually from the "Extras" menu. But of course I wouldn't complain if the reason was found and fixed.

Cheers
Ingo
