I tried a LOT of things and know computers well. First I tried removing each email account and then adding it back, no luck. What seemed to do it was searching and deleting any event emails that said "decline" (restarted mail, restarted apple computer, tried opening with safe mode, tried holding down the shift button while turning on the computer.. these might have nothing to do with the solution but I was trying the recommended tricks from other comments). From there I emptied all Trash bins. I saw three emails in my Outbox and deleted those. I then went to the Mailbox Tab and chose "Synchronize All Accounts". Issue solved as of right now, if not I'll be back soon!
