1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
6 - If after performing each of the above steps in the order that have been presents and still have issues - please advise for possible further assistance.

Safe Booting the computer may have just put things right again. The extent of " Right Again " appears to have work though.
Though, Safe Boot generally would not cause Apple Mail Application to re-index the mail boxes.
Safe Boot would eliminate Third Party Applications from loading and does other tasks as perviously outlined.
see below - " Rebuild "
i did the Safe Mode boot and 1st time, Safe Boot booted fine, email was fine, so i opened back on a proper boot and Mail still froze.
Booted several times to Safe Boot and after 3rd time, and then a standard Boot, all has now been ok.
I wonder if the 3rd time, as i left it for a long time on Safe Boot, would it have had time to index all Mail, or something like that?
