Cannot Delete only ONE SPECIFIC Email

There is ONE SPECIFIC email message in my inbox that I cannot move, copy or delete. Whether I drag-and-drop or use drop down menu - same result. This is the ONLY message in all my email accounts/inboxes which has this problem.

Continuing the attempt to move or copy causes the drop down menu to ask me if I want to move/copy the message AGAIN - but it still does not move or get copied. Hitting "Delete" on my keyboard or clicking the "garbage can" icon in the drop down menu has no effect - the email remains in my inbox.

I am using Tbird 140.1.0esr (64-bit)

UPDATE - I was able to delete the email. No clue what happened to allow me to do that.

This can usually be done by logging in to online account and deleting there. Some messages get 'stuck'

If you mean logging directly into my Yahoo mail account and deleting the message there, I have already tried that. Does not change anything in Thunderbird. Not that I expected it to - the message has already been downloaded into Thunderbird so it doesn't really have any connection to my Yahoo mail account any more.

If you are describing a solution which is different from that, please explain.

Thanks.
