Have to quit and reopen Mail to see nearly every e-mail

Saw this post when researching my issue - going on now for several months - it is on my Mac though -


On my MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.6.3, in Apple Mail - I'll see a list of new e-mails. The first one might open, maybe the second, but by the third, they’re all 'blank', i.e., no content appears. I either have to wait up to a minute or quit and reopen Mail. When I quit and reopen, the content of the last e-mail opened is now instantly visible, but the next one I click on will likely be blank, then I have to quit and reopen again. This problem appeared out of nowhere a couple months ago and is maddening. Any thoughts? Thanks! (I've tried rebuilding all my mailboxes. That seemed to work - for about 10 minutes.


I am having the exact same issue. This was a post from March 2023 with no solutions - any ideas on a fix?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

To avoid the question / answer and question answer scenario


Suggest the User start with Points 1 to 4 and then Test


Still having issues, move onto Steps 5 and 6 and Test Again


Still no resolve - move onto Step 7 and follow instructions therein 


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. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


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


5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.
