In Ventura my Mac Mail crashes, how do I fix it?

Hello Russelljr2,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since it sounds like this happens with Mail specifically and not any other apps, we'd recommend using the guidance from If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly on Mac - Apple Support which can help with most app-specific issues.

• If an app doesn’t quit as expected or it’s unresponsive, you can force quit the app (you may lose unsaved changes). Choose Apple menu > Force Quit, select the app in the dialogue that appears, then click Force Quit.

• If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialogue that appears.

• Restart your Mac by choosing Apple menu > Restart.

• Make sure the app is compatible with your version of macOS.

• Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.

• Check for updates to your software.

• Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of macOS.

• Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.

If you recently updated the app or macOS, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.

• Diagnose problems with your Mac to learn whether hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed or defective.

Kind regards.

Thanks for the response, but the issue will return once a random message is sent back to the mailbox. I've done this multiple times. Along with deleting the account, and even setting up my MBP M2 16" as new.
