Q: Icloud email is unusably slow on all devices including IOS

Hi,

 

In the past several weeks, I have noticed that icloud is ridiculously slow to handle requests to access email.  This is true on my iPhone 6, my old iPad, my Mac, and my PC using Outlook as a front end.

 

Moving or deleting an email takes upwards of 20 to 30 seconds.  Opening an email take 15 seconds.

 

On my iPhone, deleted emails reappear at some later time, presumably because the request to the server to execute the delete command timed out.

 

I have searched the web and found lots of old complaints about this, but nothing new in 2016.  This is definitely a new and frustrating problem.  I may have to abandon iCloud.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2, Also Outlook, Mac
