The previous 3 attachments are for this message:

I use Kontact/Kmail exactly as described above, and I've got a similar issue on openSUSE 10.3 for x86_64 using the latest KDE 3.5.9 packages from the KDE:KDE3 repository as of today:

$ rpm -q kdebase3 kdelibs3 kdepim3
kdebase3-3.5.9-69.3
kdelibs3-3.5.9-53.4
kdepim3-3.5.9-20.3

I rearely exit Kontact explicitly via File->Exit. Normally, I use suspend to RAM and occasionally log off from the current KDE session. Sometimes, when KOntact/Kmail are restarted/resumed afterwards, the last new message that had arrived before the log off/suspend to RAM is marked as unread in the inbox (even though I had read it), and moreover selecting this message has no effect - it's contents are never shown anymore, and the message effectively becomes "dead" - you cannot delete it, you cannot move it to another folder. The only thing that works is to make a copy of the message, exit Kontact/Kmail via "File->Exit", then go into .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/cur, find the file corresponding to the "dead" message, delete it, and then restart Kontact/Kmail. Until the next time.

I'm attaching two screenshots - one with such a "dead" message selected, one with a copy of a "dead" message selected, and also a compressed tarball with the contents of .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/cur and .inbox.index.* files.
