Mail is extremely slow

As of (a week ago)....my Mail App has been beach balling with every interaction from my mouse or keypad....it has suddenly ''slowed down'' tremendously?.....I cannot search or retrieve an email...as it takes forever to download...and sometimes doesnt appear for ages in the designated folder. I also have outlook on my MacBook Pro , and the specific emails (I am expecting) has arrived ''hours'' before it arrives in my Mail?.....Can one delete it and re-install the software?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Although not a guaranteed fix, you can try to use safe mode on your Mac.


The idea is that once you're in, you just restart back to normal to see if the problem is fixed.


Give it a try if you like, I just can't guarantee that it would work. 😉

Hey,

Works well....for just a few minutes....but I had to have the Disk Utility check for errors....and this seemed to have sorted that.....My Macbook Charger & Cable was removed and refitted...and it started up this morning.


I do however notice on my iCloud in the left, bottom corner....for some unknown reason the message exists: Moving Messages 1 of2479?...see screen shot attached
