Deleted emails reappearing!

I keep deleting emails, and they keep reappearing. This is ridiculous, have shut down and restarted, doesn't help. Also, people are saying they are unable to open attachments I'm sending, and I just now noticed that a 15 kb message I sent over 10 minutes ago is still showing as still sending at the bottom of my mail screen... anyone dealing with anything similar, ideas to resolve? I let my emails sit until I have way too many, and to spend all this time deleting 1500 emails only to have them reappear in my inbox as new, unread mail is annoying and stressful. I'm using

Hello, first...


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


Next, Mail>Preferences>Accounts>that email account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Trash Mailbox set to?


Are you using any Mail Rules?


Next, assuming all your Mail is IMAP & not POP, highlight Inbox, from Mail's Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
