MAIL CRASHING ON APPLE MAC

Since yesterday my mail app on my apple mac will not open as it keeps crashing when I try to open it. the Mail unexpectedly quits message comes up.


I have tried turning off the mac and starting up again and it still does not work


I am using el capitan OS system.


Has anyone got a a solution to this ?


I have pressed shift to open up and this sends me to the sent mail box and my save messages on the mac, but as soon as I try to go into the inbox it crashes.

I too have this happening. I am also on El Capitan and have had no issues with Mac Mail until a couple of days ago. I have several mail accounts handled by Mac Mail.

I went to System Preferences/Internet Accounts and un-ticked "Mail" from the "Use With:" box for my Hotmail account.


My gmail, icloud and 3rd party mail account work and I can send and receive mail from them. Mac Mail is no longer crashing upon opening. So I think the crashing may be a glitch with Hotmail. At least for me.

Hope you find a solution that works!
