Mine does this occasionally also. Just started the last couple months for some reason. Anyway a total delete of all messages & a restart does the trick for me.
Its a private email. Its actually an e-bill for my monthly cable payment. I've paid it, and want to delete the email, but it won't delete. A battery pull hasn't seemed to solve it.
