Mail preferences not Working on macOS Mojave ver 10.14.6

Can't select Mail preferences, only brings up signature page with no options to select.

I have tried restarting and holding shift key while opening Mail - no change

I have tried safe mode - no change

I have tried opening another account - I could open Mail preferences there, but still not intros account. hence I believe it must be a setting in this account.

How do I access settings etc if can't open Mail preferences?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Quit mail.

Finder>Go>Go to Folder, copy & Paste:

 ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail

Highlight all the contents in this folder. Place your mouse on the selection,

Then right-click and choose "New Folder with Selection”. Do not move the new folder from this current location.

You can close the Finder window.

The next step will be to restart the Mac and test

After the computer is restarted, open the Mail Preferences to see if it opens properly.
