Mail will not open after upgrading to Ventura

I updated to the new OS Ventura and now I can't open my email application. It crashes each time I open the apple mail app and I have sent multiple crash reports to Apple. Is there anyone having this problem? Is there a workaround for this? I am on a MacBook Pro 2017 and running the current Ventura 13.0. I can do nothing with email and this is quite a big issue, please help!!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

I followed the advice about deleting the envelope files, com.apple.mail.plist, etc. and starting in Safe Mode to no avail. Finally, I stumbled into Settings->Privacy and Security->Full Disk Access and found that Mail access was OFF. I turned it ON and Mail started. It's currently importing my messages as I type this.
