I am so sorry I installed the Ventura 13.2 upgrade. It seems that any incoming email can cause this problem. I have unsubscribed from every site that was sending regular emails, but then a random email arrives and blows it up again. Each time the mail quits unexpectedly I open Finder, hit Option > Go, select Library, open the Mail folder, drag the V10 folder to my desktop, then open the PersistenceInfo.plist file in TextEdit, change all occurrences of V10 to V2, and save the file. All this just so I can open Mail and remove the latest offending message(s). THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY. I only have 2 email accounts and both are linked to a LOT of websites so replacing the accounts is out of the question. THE BURDEN SHOULD BE ON APPLE. Ventura 13.1 didn't have this problem so why does Ventura 13.2?? FIX IT!!
Okay I just disabled my Spectrum email account and it appears to work. Looks like there may be a nasty email message or file attachment. Will look through the email files.
SOLVED the problem. Deleted the Spectrum account and created a new one with the same settings. All old mail messages/folders remained in tact.
How does that old saying go? “Manure happens.”
I deleted my spectrum email account then re entered same account & password and same thing happens. My other email is OK. suggestions?
