**Your software**
My Mautic version is: 3.3.3
My PHP version is: 7.4
My Database type and version is: mysql 8
**Your problem**
My problem is:
Today I wanted to created an email and discovered that I cannot edit, create or do anything with emails.
When I click, say on Create or any other action, nothing happens.
Logs don’t show anything useful
What could be causing this?

it could be a permissions problem.
What I suggest is to inspect the page with developer tools and look inside the console and you will see what the problem is.
I would go and chown -R www-data:www-data on your mautic directory to see if that helps.

I would check your cronjob and see which user is running them. Make sure it is set to sudo -u www-data
