Mail crashing on Big Sur
When I try to open mail it crashes upon opening. This started after installing Big Sur. Is there a fix?

Good evening, beewacker,
We understand that your mail app isn't working as expected after updating to Big Sur.
Did you already try restarting your Mac?
If so, try starting in safe mode and see if the mail app works there. If it does, restart and boot back into normal mode and then try opening the Mail app.
We hope that helps!
This is what I did. I followed a solution I found by searching:
I removed the envelope files: Envelope Index, Envelope Index-shm, Envelope Index-wal.
This worked. I took some time to rebuild the files, but once it was done everything returned to normal without loss of any past mail.
Thanks for the update, beewacker,
We're glad everything is working for you once more. Have a good rest of your day!
