Content of emails very slow to download after up dating to iOS 15. Using safari email on my iPad Pro 11 inch 2020. Have plenty of storage space and my gmail account downloads emails in a flash. Closing and opening the email app does not rectify the issue.
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi
Thanks the solution was installing 15.1 ( surprised that Apple did not notify me or red dot that it was available for installing) 15.1 appears to have corrected a bunch of issues I had with The iPad Pro mail app.

My issue of slow downloading of the email content seems to be resolved if I turn off PROTECT MAIL ACTIVITY. not an ideal solution but it works.
As I stated before I turned off “Protect Mail Activity “ which is a new feature in IOS 15.1 and now all emails download promptly. Apple should look at a better fix.
Hi Tony1505,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that email is slow to load when accessing your account from Safari. Let's see how we can help. If you haven't done so already, Restart your iPad. This step may seem simple, but it can fix some issues. You mentioned noticing this behavior after updating to iOS 15 but it's a good idea to install the latest iPadOS version (15.1) to see if you notice and improvement: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If you have another device, test to see if this happens when you try to access your email. If possible, try another browser too. Those steps will help with isolating the issue.
All the best!
Tony1505,
Thanks for replying. It sounds like the issue is isolated to your Gmail account when accessing it from Safari, correct? Although the title of this article doesn't reflect the exact issue, the steps may still help: If Safari displays a blank page or quits on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If the issue persists after trying those steps, reply to this message.
Have a good one.
Tony1505,
Connecting to a different Wi-Fi network will help with figuring out if the issue is network related. If the issue occurs on multiple networks, the next step would be to reach out to Apple Support directly. They can be contacted here: Get Support, or by calling the most applicable phone number from this list: Contact Apple for support and service.
Have a good one.
Mine mail performance improved when I updated my Apple Watch software. I think iOS 15 ties your devices together more than ever. Update software on all apple devices.
I turned off PROTECT MAIL ACTIVITY. NOT IDEAL BUT IT IS A NEW FEATURE IN 15.1 NOW NO ISSUES WITH DELAYS.
I spoke too soon. Although certain email issues have been addressed with iOS 15.01 my iPad Pro (2020) email has reverted to very slow download of content up to 30 minutes; headers are downloaded fast.
At the same time on my iPad Pro (2020) my gmail app downloads mail very fast. Also my old iPad mini 2, my android cell phone and my Microsoft outlook 2013 on a Thinkpad have no issues in downloading emails.

I have a similar problem. It is the update. The two devices I haven’t updated work. Apple mail does not work on my devixe.
That fix did not work for me. Still slow as molasses! The absolutely do. This is ridiculous and so frustrating.
I found that after I upgraded everything, iPads, I watch and iPhone to the latest software upgrade, my email delays went away.
Tried your steps, except for different wi fi connection. Frustrating in that many emails download fast but then some get stuck and take for ever to download the content. No issue with gmail app or my other devices
Thanks, don’t understand how it can be network related since the gmail app is fast and so is outlook on my Microsoft computer and also my iPad mini2. Will be traveling next month and will be on a different network.
I made the mistake of downloading iOS 15 and15.1. Mail has been slow and the edit function takes 4-5 seconds to open. Is apple on this issue? I do not have mail on any other devices. Only my iPhone 12 Pro Max. If I could, I would go back to iOS 14.8
Slow email after iOS 15 why?
