Hi Paula, if that happens I suggest to stop KMail, remove the KMail index files for the affected folder and start KMail again so that KMail rebuilds the index. If it happened in your inbox for example delete the following index files

martin shambala:~Mail> ls -la | grep inbox
drwx------   5 martin martin        36 2008-05-13 22:47 inbox
-rw-------   1 martin martin    539855 2008-05-13 22:47 .inbox.index
-rw-r--r--   1 martin martin      4389 2008-05-13 22:47 .inbox.index.ids
-rw-r--r--   1 martin martin     54499 2008-05-13 10:21 .inbox.index.sorted

by using rm ~/Mail/.inbox.index* for example. Be careful not to delete the wrong file and better make a backup of ~/Mail before. No warranty whatsoever ;-).

Its not nice but thats my usual procedure when empty no subject mails appear or a mail turns out not to be deleteable. I read that recent KMail got a context menu entry for recreating the index file, but I am not sure whether it will make it to a KDE 3.5.10 if such a version is tagged at all. I had empty no subject mails in KMail from KDE 3.5.9 but they might have happened with an earlier version. I had non deleteable mail in my spam folder I think at least twice, but no time to make a bugreport back then. Didn't happen anymore since then.

I hope that on switching to akonadi all those still existing index related problems are gone for good.
