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

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.
I will.
But first I had two gmail accounts forwarded to my iMac so I could check them in one place. I made both gmail accounts "Inactive" and as a result it seems to be doing better. I'll check back in a bit...grocery run... and revisit this thread.
+1 please submit an EtreCheck report for us to review.
