Are you sure?

  1. The count you see (1000+) may include your replies.
  2. Those 272 may be unread emails only.
  3. Server may limit the number of messages visible to POP3 at once for some reason. For example: recent mode in Gmail fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP3 client already.

Consider using IMAP - it has more features:
