The cause is usually a malformed email message.


Press and hold a Shift key while launching the Mail app again. That will launch the Mail app with no message selected. In that manner you may be able to identify the problematic message, and delete it.


If that does not resolve the problem please refer to If you can’t open Mail on your Mac - Apple Support.
