Mail will always open to the last folder selected. So if you always select the Inbox before quitting Mail, that's what it will open with.

In OS Ventura, I can't find a way to open emails with double click. They are opening on one click, so when I select junk mail to move to Trash, they all open, thus exacerbating the problem by reinforcing spam. How do I set up Apple Mail in OS Ventura, so that I can open emails with two clicks instead of one?
