apple mail crashing

Today my Apple mail keeps crashing. It then worked for a while, but then updated with the new OS, and now crashes again. Is anyone else having this issue?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.2

This may sound strange, but if I held down the shift key when opening Mail, it stayed open. But then, if I clicked on the SPAM folder that Spam Sieve uses, it would quit.

I deleted Spam Sieve and the folder, reinstalled Spam Sieve and it works fine now.

Try removing the email accounts, then re-add them.

Mine is now staying open for a bit but still crashing. If I scroll too fast, or delete too quickly it crashes. It is better, but I am about ready to switch to another mail app. Actually, I take that back, back to crashing constantly. It will at least stay open now, but once I delete emails, it crashes.

After upgrading to 13.2, Mail won't even open. Starts to open, then quits.

Same problem here - deleted preferences and did not fix problem. OSX 13.2 MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9. Mail tries to open and crashes - sent crash report to apple.
