Since upgrading (if that is the right term) to Ventura Apple Mail is close to unusable. Opening is a sometime thing; when opened it often won't load; windows disappear and it does not download new mail as scheduled. I'm ready to change to a new program. What do I need to do to cure the problems?
You do not say 'upgraded' from what exact macOS(?) to Ventura...
I can say introduced back w/ Monterey several similar issues have been resolved in Mail by disabling these new features
Mail issues —
Open mail app select Mail>Settings>Privacy disable:
- “Protect Mail Activity” /
- “Hide IP address” /
- “Block all remote content”
