Chosen solution

The page you refer to always displays when you select the account name in the Folder Pane.

Can you see the left Folder Pane, which should show you your mail accounts and folders? If no, then enable the Folder Pane: View > Layout > select Folder Pane or 3bar menu icon > Options > Layout > select Folder Pane

Then select the Inbox to see emails.
