Mail won't open after Ventura update

Is anyone else having trouble with the mail app since updating to Ventura? Every time I try to open it it closes straight away and I get the error message Mail quit unexpectedly.

I fixed the problem with Mac OS Ventura mail crashing every time I tried to open with this article followed step by step. Specifically the "Delete envelope index files" section. After deleting these in safe mode mail was restored.

So Apple leaves us to flounder discussing all these problems amongst ourselves in an attempt to guess what's gone wrong with their software this time. I have just updated to Ventura and now everything is slow, but the main problem is this. Apple should help more instead of remaining aloof. I am meant to be working here on a deadline!


"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it’s already in use.


Another application on your computer or on your local network is using your mailbox information. Click Quit to quit Mail. Then log out of this computer and any other computer you’re using. After you log in again, open Mail on one computer only"
