>>What you get is the new messages. A message can be either a thread (top message of a thread) or a message within it. Thus, a first message of a thread is the top layer of it. Underneath can be several layers of messages. So, among new messages can be new threads, where you will see the first message of a thread, or ongoing thread messages, where you will see new messages from the related threads.

I think a few slip through the cracks, but I don't know how. I've experienced (and posted here about it) some missed messages myself in the past. It's not everyday but it's aggravating when it happens. Sometimes the messages are replies to me and sometimes not.
