Incorrect unread message indicator

Am using 115.10.1 Thunderbird on Windows 10. This email account inbox shows one unread message, but I can't find any unread message. Toggled message threads to see if a previous message was unread, but could not find any there either. Have both closed Thunderbird and restarted the computer, but it made no difference. It is bothersome, but my main concern is whether this is indicating some virus or other hack of my computer. This is just a home computer, not on a business network. Do have it on wi-fi. Is it just a matter of somehow resetting the unread message indicator or is it a sign of something more serious?

You might want to try right clicking the folder, selecting properties and then use the repair button. Those indexes do get out of sync sometimes.

I did try right clicking on the inbox folder and clicking properties and repair folder. It didn't make any change. It still shows one unread message that I can't find.
