Mail App Keeps Opening By Iteself

Almost every hour or so, the Mail App opens itself into the foreground of whatever I happen to be doing. This is super annoying as it interferes with my work. It also loves to open when I am in a full screen video or some other full screen app. I have tried various solutions and have unchecked the box "prefer opening in split view when in full screen." I am stumped by this behavior and would appreciate any help.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Try using the yellow (Minimize) button to close the Mail window instead of the red (Close) button. In Dock system preference you can enable "Minimize windows into application icon" to avoid creating an extra dock icon.
