I have mail open and and my CPU usage is between 111- 300% int he activity monitor. It is extremely slow, and bogs down the rest of my machine. The fan is on constantly. I have attempted to Force Quit, Reindex, Remove Accounts, etc.
Anybody else seeing this?

So I finally figured out the issue.
Mail is sending some data to iCloud. If you notice with your Documents and Desktop folders, Catalina makes it so saving to iCloud is a default. The same goes for Mail settings.
Not only is Mail working as it should, accountsd is using substantially less CPU %.
Anyway, this is what worked for me for now.
Tried that, no dice.
The process is accountsd. The private error it generates applies to the address book being corrupted.
What about Mail and suggestd? That's my issue. I did the address book thing and will try disabling my Exchange account now...
What work did you do regarding trying another user account or eliminating mail accounts?
sorta. I had my mailboxes emptied! I had tons of emails organized only to find out they were gone
Organised into IMAP mailboxes?
I confirm killing MAIL and reopening fixes it.
do not pass on windows, :)
simply use a decent mail client. there are a lot, even better than a (functioning..) Apple Mail..
try the 10.15.6 Combo Updater, that fixed it for me!
Accountsd CPU usage high in macOS Catalina
