Long shot: if this is an IMAP account, the following option on the
INBOX/Folder specification might help:


Loser
    This option makes sense only for IMAP servers that do not
    perform a SEARCH command correctly. If your filtering rules fail
    to filter some messages, that should have been filtered, then
    this option will make Alpine download all data necessary data
    to perform that search. There is a performance penalty when
    using this option. Downloading the data to perform the search
    will take longer than requesting the IMAP server to perform the
    filtering, but the filtering will be done correctly.
