Hey there, ABeerten,
Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities. We want to help you get Mail working at its absolute best. It does look like there should be an update to macOS Ventura available, version 13.3. Since macOS updates can include fixes for issues like this, we want to recommend starting there by following the steps here: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support
These are the relevant steps to start with, from that article:
"Before following these steps, it's a good idea to back up your Mac.
- From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose System Settings or System Preferences.
- If you chose System Settings, click General on the left side of the window. Then click Software Update on the right.
- If you chose System Preferences, click Software Update in the window.
- Software Update then checks for new software.
- If Software Update finds new software, click the button to install it. The button might be named Update Now, Upgrade Now, Install Now, or Restart Now, for example. You might then be asked to enter your administrator password.
- If Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, then no new software is currently available for your Mac model. Software Update shows only software that is compatible with your Mac."
We hope this does the trick for you!
Cheers.
