Hi Adrian, You don’t mention what version of Apple Mail you are using, but have you tried to Rebuild the Sent Mail Box? Try using Rebuild on this On My Mac mailbox (from drop-down under Mailbox in the menubar). Select the Mailbox, then choose Mailbox -> Rebuild
Usually this condition and resolution means the messages had actually meant to be deleted (or moved to another mailbox), but the list of messages still contained a flawed reference. Rebuild will not cause the loss of actual messages still present in the mailbox folder. If that doesn’t get rid of the email for you. Another possible solution: Is your stubborn message gray or black? If black, highlight, click on Edit and choose Cut.
