I've had this problem with some mail servers before. It's annoying, but one thing that usually would work is simply quitting mail and restarting it. You can also try the same with your computer. It makes no sense, but repeatedly in my case it did the trick.


But the message would keep coming back, and I don't recall what fixed it ultimately.
