Start by navigating in Mail >> Preferences >> Privacy tab and untick any or ALL option in below image



Still issues after a reasonable length of time to Test


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 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

Changing the Privacy settings did not work. I started up in Safe Mode which made the mail problem OK. But returning to Normal Mode did not work (though I thought it had at first). I presume this means one of my (very few) third-party apps is the problem. So I will have to work my way through them disabling each in turn.
