MacOS – Mail App keeps hanging (not crashing) on Yosemite 10.10.3

hangmacosmail.app

Mail runs fine for a few hours, then hangs. I must force quit, then reopen. It runs fine for another few hours then crashes.

This is a fresh install of Yosemite, and I rebuilt the index and tried deleting things people suggest I delete in the library. It redownloaded all the messages already.

Here's the first bit of crash report, which is Greek to me:

I have had the same problem since updating to Yosemite. None of the advice posted on any website seems to work until I tried this and so far Mail is working fine https://miapple.me/fixing-mac-os-x-10-10-yosemite-mail-not-responding/ give it a shot
