Inconsistent Message count in TB

IN TB under my account, INBOX shows (8) unread messages even though they are all read. If I select all messages Marked them As UNREAD. This then shows INBOX(1292), but at bottom of window Selected = 1285 and Total = 1300 If I now select all messages and mark as Read I get INBOX(8)

So why isn't Inbox = 0 and why is Total different from Selected ? Thanks Dave
