Start by and wit the Mail Application complete Close and not minimized in the dock



Hold the SHIFT key and attempt to launch Mail. This is a sort of a Safe Boot of the Application and not the computer.


Still having issues ?


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 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


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