Empty SPAM folder has 1 unread message

Mail app says there is an unread message but the folder is empty.

I've already rebuilt the mailbox.

I wanted not to remove all email accounts one by one to fix this. Any advice?

I'm running Monterrey 12.1 on a 2020 Macbook Pro.


Thanks!

It is not advised to post in an open public community your computer Serial Number...tied to your account.



For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account, then add it back.
