Old issue, new issue, what changed?
You can force quit Mail
>Force Quit>Mail
Relaunch Mail holding the Shift key for a bit of a safe boot launch—see if there is any change.
If no insight or resolve SafeBoot the Machine and test:
SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
