Apple Mail under Yosemite is unusable for me.
We use Exchange 365. Since installing Yosemite, the Apple Mail app has decided it must fetch every single mail message and attachment that I have received over the last 4 years (even though these were already present on my Mac and available in the Apple Mail app under Mavericks). This process has been taking days. It may be that it is fetching the same mail over and over in an infinite loop. The activity window seems to show the same folders being fetched again and again.
In addition, the amount of time it takes to retrieve new mail is 3-5 minutes. Often the Mail app is out of sync with the Exchange server for hours on end. I have people complaining to me that I am not responding to their e-mails because Apple Mail is not syncing properly. My iPhone running IOS 8 does not have trouble getting new mail and staying in sync.
I have given up on Apple Mail and gone back to using Outlook Mac 2011, which works perfectly under Yosemite.
