My mail app (Monterey 12.7.5) almost never opens properly. The message header shows -- the content is blank. I have to quit Mail altogether, and re-open it, then I get a content --- for ONE message, maybe two. Then it goes back to not opening the 3rd (or 2nd) email message. Really quite annoying. How does this get fixed?

Thanks, but most of this is beyond me. I found Disk Utility, tried to do step 1, then was notified my computer would be shut down "for hours." I have a MacScan which I disengaged. It says I can avoid the shutdown if I do something in recovery mode, which I don't even understand let alone know how to do.
MacScan !!
Start Over and this time do not allow this application anywhere near this computer
Disk Cleaner
This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac “
➡️ Macscan. ⬅️
