Additional info
I think it could be related to formatting/specialties of certain emails.
The folders can load if the certain emails are excluded for example by searching of keywords or adjusting the date range.
It seems to effect most emails by one sender but also multiple other emails and I haven't seen a clear pattern yet.
All emails work fine when I use Thunderbird to access my email account. So it doesn't seem to be an issue with the mail server.
I isolated one email that breaks things and that is not too much of a privacy issue and will attach it here.
Any other good steps I can take to help debugging?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Mail app folder-loading failure in version 5.11.3 with the attached problematic email, comparing a failing folder with filtered date or keyword ranges and Thunderbird. Trace the folder message-loading path and use the affected email to identify the failure; done means affected folders display all messages without the error.
