I typically leave the Mail app open perpetually. I've noticed that ever since I upgraded to Monterey, Mail won't stay open. It just silently quits in the background, within an hour. No crash report, no dialog, nothing. (and possibly other system apps too). Has anybody else noticed this?
Does Mail have it's own debug log of some sort so I can capture the occurrence?

Same issue.
And I have it with Safari too.
Noticed it with some other apps that are "not used".
Not sure if it's a memory protection or not, but it sucks.
I managed to work around it by running the apps through a bash script / Terminal but it sucks!
IMO it's a bug. I noticed people having this issue in the beta but so far nothing new.
But I do have it !

Rumor is that it's a known bug (I haven't seen it documented). Hopefully that means it will be fixed.

This happening to me too. Mail often quits particularly when my laptop is asleep, silently without notice. Safari does it too -- this morning Mail was gone when I opened the laptop, and then Safari vanished while I was in the process of command-tabbing over to it. Pretty major bug to let linger!

Same here, 12.3. Mail has always been the most unreliable and disastrous app in all of macOS, but this is a quite serious bug.
Safari does the same, but to a lesser degree, perhaps because it's more actively used, dunno.
