 or otherwise, in place to organize your mail into your 
folders?

match, therefore filtering the messages into folders. Please check your folders to 
check for unread messages. Additionally, remove all filters temporarily to see if 
that step results in you receiving mail properly.

client configuration problems that you are unable to resolve through their help 
files.
