How to resolve Slow Email Opening on macOS Monterey 12.4

I phone is just a click away from problem fixes .it’s very efficient and progressive unbelievably conservative accessibility makes it the leading phone and service provider it’s worth the time and money to make sure u get everything the way u want with appl and keep your service updated to get quick results when updating . Iam sure your technical issue is within the storage u have to delete or move some of your accessible information and clear up some space maybe delete some pictures but the issue with your email is in the storage and memory it has a function to clear it up by itself like it’s being responsible with your information you should be resonable about your cmmunications after you update an iOS system or anything by leaving a comment about how well it works for you and apple is very decisive about its customers I almost guarantee if you make apple look good they will make you look good regardless with that beautiful phone or communication system u keep on you allday

Alas! I spoke too soon. It is broken again. No idea why it worked for a couple of minutes, but I have to wait several minutes again before mail will open. The fact that it is so random is very irksome. There seems no rhyme nor reason to this bug. You see the big empty space below the list of e-mails. There should be something there!

And why is Apple not responding here? We're on their official discussion forum aint we?

Here's a question for all of you: for those of you having this issue, how many of you are using an external monitor?

My MBP16 is connected to a pair of LG monitors and the laptop itself is generally clamshelled shut. I have noticed that I don't seem to encounter the issue when I'm traveling and am using just the laptop's integrated monitor. Coincidence?

In an earlier message on this forum I suggested an action on other media. This message was removed from the forum within hours. So there are certainly moderators reading our complaints, but nobody takes the trouble of engaging in this conversation. Very disappointing for fanboys like us.

The "answer" in dtsimon's post on 9/29 was a lifesaver for us! (dtsimon also posted on 10/8.)

Very "senior" mom was recently complaining about her Gmail messages taking 2-3 minutes to open while using Apple Mail on her iMac. She called both Apple and Verizon to troubleshoot with her over the phone. In short, she ended up with a new monthly internet bill that was almost double what it should be and the problem persisted of course! After I found about this issue (a month or so after the fact, I'm not sure exactly how long), she had Verizon restore her internet to the original speed.

Yesterday, she showed me in person what she was talking about. I told her I would take a peek but might have to come back, because I was late for something else. But, of course, I got drawn in by the frustration of not being able to find a good solution.

Until I found dtsimon's post, that is. I gave it a try, threw caution to the wind, and what do you know, it worked. Well, it's only been two days so far, but we'll cross our fingers that the issue won't return anytime soon. (Actually, I'm a little worried, because I usually like to keep up with the Apple OS updates, but now I'm a little scared to install the next one when it becomes available. So, please fill me in if anything is known about whether this issue still exists with the next update after Monterey 12.6.)

To dtsimon: Thank you!

Whilst I'm glad it worked for you, sorry to say it did nothing for me. And nor does it answer the question as to why this whole situation arose!

I did suggest to Apple that they brought in some children from a local school to sort out the problem they have caused... oddly I never had a response.

In the meanwhile, Thunderbird/Mozilla still works very well and it looks like I shall be using that for some time to come.

Great news. Except for those of us, like myself, who use machines deemed too old to upgrade. My Late 2015 iMac is still perfectly capable (4 GHz 4-core i7, 32 GB Ram, 3 TB fusion drive, etc), but it cannot be upgraded to Ventura.

Why! You do not suggest that this is all a ploy to make you buy a new computer, I hope?? Let me tell you, sir, that our beloved brand would never stoop to something as nefarious as planned obsolescence!

I thought Ventura was the fix for my Macbook pro & iMac as well. It seemed to work a lot better when I updated the software but it's back to taking forever to load messages again. I have to keep gmail on the web in a browser so I can quickly open messages and reply when I'm not able to in macmail. I hope this gets resolved soon.

Omg yes! I have the same problem with my iMac. It’s driving me crazy and takes forever for me to go through my mail. I usually do it through my phone now because it’s faster and every fix that I’ve tried doesn’t work there’s anyone out there have a solution for this come on apple you know what’s going on. Help us out.

A great shame that Musk didn't spend his money on buying Apple.

He could have fired the incompetent morons responsible for this fiasco, then given those left standing five working days to fix the problem that Apple are still unwilling to fix.

Whilst I am delighted it solved your problem, some of us are still struggling with a system that is clearly unfit for purpose and which no one at Apple wants to discuss!

So back to Thunderbird for me.

I have tried all solutions that are proposed in this thread but none of them fixed the problem. The issue is very frustrating and it severely affects anyone who is using e-mail for business making the Mac Mail application mostly unusable. One more reason to stay away from Apple products.

I have the same problem. I have been an Apple customer since 1984 many multiple purchases and subscriptions over the years BECAUSE while Apple was the higher priced it was a better product. It seems that is no longer Apple's intention or performance and we need to shift I think to Gmail and PCs or Chromebooks.
