Mail App Mac Keeps Opening
Several users have reported that the Mail app on iPhone (or iPad) will not open. More specifically, when some users attempt to open the Mail app to check their email messages, immediately after it launches, it quits. Some users say they see blank screen before it crashes.
Are you having this problem too? Are you unable to check your email because of this issue? Here is what you can do to fix. Please try the steps below if you are having problems with the iOS Mail app if it keeps crashing, hangs and stops working, or if it won’t open at all:
Occasionally the problem isn’t with the Mac app, but with the Mac OS itself. If you’re experiencing troubles regularly, it’s time to ask why your Mac keeps freezing. There are several possible reasons, so let’s start with the simplest potential solution. First, the file you were working with at the time of the freeze may be the issue.

Repair Mail if it crashes or won’t open
1-It is possible that your iPhone or iPad may have run out of memory, and can’t start the Mail app. You may want to free up some space. First check the storage on your iOS device by going to Settings > General > iPad’s or iPhone’s Storage. You may also want to delete some of your apps, videos, photos etc that you no longer use or need to free up some storage, if space gets tight on your iPhone or iPad.

What else you may want to do is to manually offload and reinstall the Mail app without losing the app’s data. Tap Settings, and General > iPad Storage (or iPhone Storage) then scroll down and find the Mail app and tap Mail and then tap “Offload App”. Note that offloading the Mail app will delete it but it will keep its data. Then tap again to confirm “Offload App”.
Once the mail app has been deleted, simply reinstall the app. To reinstall you may go to again Settings > General > iPad Storage > Mail now you will see: Reinstall App:
Also since the Mail is an built in app, deleting it will not remove from the home screen. You will still see its icon. And tapping the icon will also reinstall the app.
2-Restart the Mail app. Close the mail app (force quit) and reopen again.
3-Remove (sign out) your email account or accounts then re-add them. To do that, go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords and then select your account scroll down and tap Sign Out. Then go to Settings> Accounts & Passwords and tap Add Account.
4-Restart your iOS device to see if it fixes the problem.
5-Make sure that your device is running the latest version of iOS software. Go to Settings > General and then Software Update.

Mail App Keeps Opening
macOS Catalina 10.15 — Mail 13.4 — When I open Mail it takes almost a full minute for it to open. It’s an IMAP account. Things I have tried > I turned the account off in Preferences, closed Mail, re-booted the computer, re-enable Mail. I emptied the Junk, Trash, Spam and Sent folders. I did Rebuilds of all mailboxes. I made sure there are no Bundles in the HD . Users > Library > Mail. After Mail is open it works fine. Just curious about the long delay in opening. I use the same IMAP account on another Mac desktop and a MacBook. The Mail app opens almost instantly on those other 2 machines.
