Running 12.5.1 on my M1 Mac mini. All system and Mac apps are up to date. Upon launching MacMail, I get the spinning beach ball and that's it. I've restarted. I checked my iCloud email through Safari, all looks fine. It is the latest version. of mail so I can't update. Stuck!! Help!!
Mac mini 2018 or later
With Apple Mail Completely Closed >> SHIFT key and attempt to launch Mail from the icon in Applications folder.
This is a Safe launch to the application.
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.
Notation: Latest stable version of Monterey is 12.5.1 as or August 17, 2022

You are welcome and thank you too 🇨🇦
Do come back to the Apple Support Communities ( ASC )Â in the future, if / or when additional questions may arise
Depending on if the computer has an Apple Silicon CPU the Shift method does not work. That specific method is for Intel Based Machines .
Notice profile is showing Mac Mini and that may become problematic IF using a Bluetooth Keyboard
For Special Circumstances like this one - a Wired Keyboard is much more reliable as the Bluetooth Kernel may not load soon enough to allow for the Shift key depression to function - Intel Machines
The key words in the Apple Silicon Method of Safe Mode -->>
Apple silicon
From my experience using two different Apple Silicon Computer including an M1 Mac Mini is shutdown and not use the Restart. It will not work - period.
Second caveat, use a Wired Keyboard and not a Bluetooth Keyboard. The Bluetooth Kernel may not load soon enough to allow the next step in Safe Mode
In the future if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a good boot into Safe Mode.
This problem is back today. I typed 'Safari' in the title of this posting but it should have been 'Mail app'. My MacMini is the M1 version. Running 12.5.1.
I restart in safe mode, and go to options, but none of them are what I need. Restore from backup? No, thanks. I changed the security setting, whatever difference that might make. I don't have any other choices that remotely look to be what I need. I did plug-in my wireless keyboard, too. Doesn't matter since the shift/restart method is only for Intel machines.
So, exactly what am I supposed to do when safe mode shows up? If I click on the hard drive icon, it simply restarts, and nothing is any different. If I go to 'options', none of them are what I need. WTF??
Replying to myself? Uh, no, just refreshing this thread with current situation. Thanks for your help here, Mr. Philips. Any other suggestions? Should I reinstall the OS from safe mode startup? I have nothing else to try.
Well, the safe mode choice never came up in multiple restarts with holding the start button and/or shift key down. But finally it worked and mail is back up. Thanks!
Since you replying to yourself, we have no idea as to Whom this. pointing is intended
care to share ?
Will get back to you
Safari Hangs. Can't update. ??
