2015 Late Model iMac 11.8 OS Mac Email

When I open email on the bottom left it shows activity, such as "Copying 1 of 3 Messages", and my email is crashing and slowing down this computer extremely.


This is a new issue. I have not had any issues for years.


I also keep getting popups that state "Running Out Of Application Memory" and needs me to Force Quit apps that are not using hardly any bytes...megabytes not gigs. HELP

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:


  1. Navigate to: https://etrecheck.com and get the free version of EtreCheckPro.
  2. Download it. It is a free and trusted app. It is often recommended here on Apple Support Communities. 
  3. Open EtreCheck, and before running the report, be sure to check “Allow full Drive Access” at the bottom of the EtreCheckPro window.
  4. Run the report, and put it in a post, as seen here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211. We will then examine the report for issues in your Mac.

Not clicking anything if I can help it.


The problem was that I had changed my Google gmail passwords on two of the Gmail accounts I had forwarded to my iMac. After I made both forwarded gmail accounts "inactive" I no longer have the issue. I guess I will have to delete both forwarded accounts and start over with linking them.


My iMac was constantly attempting to log into those accounts creating the issue. The spinning pinwheel / beachball only appeared when I opened the email app on my iMac. That was enough for me to narrow it down to email being the problem app.


My phones had a similar issue, but made it easy to just re-log in and update the passwords. Problem solved. Inconvenience is the cost.


thanks.
