I just got back from a weekend away to discover that the mail on my desktop is nonfunctional -- activity window shows a lot pending but no progress on sending, receiving, moving, copying, etc.
Running ventura 13.2.1 on iMac pro 2017, 3.2 Ghz 8-core intel processor
Mail 16.0
This seems to be a desktop problem since it isn't occurring on iPad or iPhone mail apps.
