Trying deleting these preference files. There is no need to worry about data loss, they are just index files that can get corrupted and will be rebuilt.

Quit Mail
From the Finder choose Go > Go to Folder...
Enter ~/Library/Mail/
Open the highest number "V" folder. Mine was V10
Open MailData
Delete all files that start with "Envelope Index" or "ExternalUpdates.storedata". There should be about 6 of them.
Re-open mail
Your emails will be re-indexed
