Mail in Catalina is so SLOW and sluggish

Is anyone else having problems with mail in Catalina being really slow and sluggish? I am using it on a 6core 2013 Mac Pro with 32GB ram. IT is showing about 80% CPU utilization across all 6 cores. I am constantly closing and relaunching.

Same here....." downloading 3 messages or Moving 3 messages " after binning them and receiving new mail. I have to mostly then Force Quit Mail if I am shutting down. I'm running Catalina on a Mac mini i3 bought earlier this year. Actually went back to High Sierra after first downloading Catalina and have only just downloaded it again a week ago or so and now the upgrade a few days ago. Thought it was my ADSL+2 so tried my 4G Dongle to no avail.

Will be ringing Apple when I have a few spare hours.
