No, it's not the application but probably one of the supporting files or an email.
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a good boot into Safe Mode.
Something in the mail was corrupted after trying to move/delete legacy mail messages on local. Mail kept crashing - I booted up in safe mode but that did not resolve the mail problem. It did allow me to make changes to the mail file system for my local mailboxes, which i beleive ewas the culprit of corruption. Thanks Old Toad.
I found related guidance her e- https://ladedu.com/how-to-reset-mac-mail-like-uninstall-and-reinstall/ and just renamed the mail dir in ~/library to mail.old and restarted mail app - It reloaded all my mail from comact/gmail/etc. and worked - I synced and rebuild as well. All is well except I lost some very old messages and notes on local. Thanks for those that replied.
Back in business!
It crashes immediately upon launching and asks to report, reopen or ignore (over and over and Over)...
Thanks - but mail launches then immediately crashes - Reopening doesn't help - just crashes after opening over and over within seconds of seeing the main window.
