Apple Mail Pinwheel of Death every hour - v Monterey 12.3.1

Since this update, in Apple Mail (only) I get the colored pinwheel of death (required Force Quit every hour) whenever I copy over content and paste into a new email. This is a brand new MacBook 14. Help apple!!! I can't work like this.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3

Hmmm.


I would try a—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
