How do I delete a mail that does not exist?

Trying to delete from my trash an email that says does not exist. It appears to be keeping my trash folder from emptying correctly. I get this message........................The file “153539.emlx” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.

iPhone 5, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), null

Please back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox. Try again to delete the message. If there's no change, and if the account in question is on an IMAP or Exchange server, see below.

From the Mail menu bar, select

Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ Accounts

Select the accounts in the list on the left, then open the Mailbox Behaviors tab, Uncheck the box marked

Store deleted messages on the server

Save the change when prompted.
