Mail is not responding on MacBook Pro 2018. Can I delete mailbox and then add it back?

yes...you can add and delete mailboxes.
I will say—For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account(s) from the Mail.app, then add it back.
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Note—
IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync
POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them
“On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
I would try quitting mail and relaunch it holding the Shift key down and see if you can get any further

I do not see a response. I updated to Sonoma, and Safari is SOOO SLOW now. I then reloaded using Rescue. No help for Safari or Mail. Firefox is super fast, so it is not my wifi.
Help please.
I just now was able to see your message, so I thank you, and will delete and replace the mailbox
Thanks for your help. I got it done, with significantly slow response logging in, presumably because of slow Safari.
Important thing is it worked. Thanks Frank
