Q: Sierra Mail Slow

Hi guys,

 

My current machine:

 

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

Processor: 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB; Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

 

My issue:

 

I updated to Sierra yesterday and everything is working fantastic except for one thing: My Mail is slow, to be more specific it takes about 2 seconds to show the content of the mail on the far right when I click on a new email. This is for all emails I receive, not only emails with attachments. Everything else relating to speed for Mail is perfect - this is only isolated to the loading of email content.

 

I would appreciate any feedback to try and resolve this.

 

Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), macOS Sierra (10.12)

    I agree. Mail is very slow (minutes) to open/render a digitally signed or encrypted (S/MIME) message. Once open, a "Reply" takes as long or longer to render a usable edit window. I've lost ability to encrypt within that window (signing seems OK?) and the reply text/message is missing in the reply window.

    Yes same experience, the S/MIME seems to be a common thread for me. Other messages seem to load reasonably well. It may not be the only issue, but there is certainly an issue w/ S/MIME messages.

    I haven't seen any response here from Apple other than "Rebuild" which does nothing to fix the issues noted w/SMIME. Is this issue at least noted by the Apple team? Is there some plan or timeline for resolution?

    I have a helpdesk ticket open and have filed a bug report.  I don't expect either to be dealt with any time soon.

    (edit)

    To be clear - the bug report has to do with mail import from time machine, which I think is related to the s/mime issue.

    The helpdesk report is for the actual opening/sending of digitally signed email which falls in line with s/mime.

    Finally I had to open a new Admin account and install all apps there... it got better... nearly as pre-Sierra. Really disappointed by Apple. Hope this was the last time something like this happened!!

    I did the same thing - with a nuke.   I completely reinstalled the OS, did not restore anything but data using time machine, reinstalled the apps, etc...   It degraded anyway - maybe after I imported my email, maybe after I started using my smart card for email sigs, dunno.   Just know that it degraded anyway.

    for me, the common denominator is extremely slow Load times of messages that are digitally signed or encrypted

     

    are others able to confirm?
