Random crashing of Mail, Messages, Calendar, and App Store

Since upgrading to macOS Monterey on my 2019 MacBook Pro, I've had consistent issues with Apple (iCloud connected) apps. Everything will be working fine. Reading emails, sending messages, downloading apps, etc. Randomly, I'll open Mail, Messages, or App Store and it will freeze. Once this happens, all other iCloud apps seem to be broken. The only way to fix is by restarting my mac, which seems to resolve the problem temporarily. I've tried:


  • Resetting SMC, (P|NV)RAM
  • Deleting all keychain related data
  • Reinstalling macOS completely (after backing up files)
  • Many other things...


Nothing seems to resolve the issue. One suspicious thing I've seen is that `accountsd` is crashing constantly on my machine:



I've attached a copy of a full error message (they are all basically the same error with different addresses). If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. I've been trying to resolve this issues for months without any luck.
