How to resolve Slow Email Opening on macOS Monterey 12.4

Amen. It's all about money with Apple, they don't care about their loyal customers or any customers for that matter. And the newer the machine, the poorer it's made.

And any rival for world dominance that gets in their way: kaboom they crush them (eg. Facebook: Apple in one stroke killed their business model).

Wow...that's terrible. My MacBook air is updated out...so doesn't do any good to have a newer mac.

Apple is such a disappointment: newer machines are terrible. And machines/devices get discontinued with no support, as soon as they can throw another one at us.

That's what happens when a bean-counter gets put in charge.

What was Jobs thinking?

The problem continues. No problem using the iPhone or iPad, but on the MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2015 it's just a pain in the tRump since installing OS12. Currently using 12.6.3 and no improvement. And of course the MacBook Pro Mid 2015 can't be updated to the new OS. Thanks Apple!

For what it's worth, my friend the lawyer has heard that a class action is being seriously considered to make Apple admit the problem and fix it.

I doubt very much they want yet another potential $2bn hole in their finances on top of their already slowing sales...

Hey, Mfiles, I know your email is close to two years old, but I can't thank you enough. Your simple solution worked! Now life is worth living again! Okay, that's a bit of hyperbole, but really: mega thanks.

Good thought, that occurred to me earlier...just tried to explore that, and since I've not messed with Console in quite a while, I see Apple has changed the interface :-( A quick look through seemed to indicate that I had to do a "Start Streaming" which resulted in this screen shot I took, that is pretty much above my pay grade, if that keys anything for you, I'm all ears!

Appears this is an old thread. Slow email is an oxymoron given Apples's obsession with the quickest/the finest resolution/the best in everything they peddle.

Planned obsolescence: don't y'all just want to rush out a dish out a few K for a new mac book so you get a 90's product to work right?

You're not really dialed into the minutia, so, just kindly refrain...if you were able to follow the thread, you'd see I have a 2021 M1 MBP. While the thread did start in Jun 2022, it makes it no less relevant, since the issue is still a problem.

Thanks for the tip on copy/pasted text, should have thought of that...I removed all files in those two locations, restarted. Still same problem. Starting to think I might trying removing my two email accounts, then re-adding them, or more with a bunch more work, wipe, reinstall OS, then migrate back off my backup. Another thought just occurred to me, I do use BusyCal & BusyContacts, BusyContacts does interact with Apple Contacts, which of course is tied into Apple Mail. I wonder if anything causal could from those Apps? Could also just be a Bug in Monterey that Apple has no motivation to fix since support will drop this fall, or maybe they just don't know this is an issue...

I have Private Internet Access, but only use it occasionally, not running full time.

No Antivirus, other than Apple's GateKeeper. I do have Cocktail installed, again, only run occasionally, Entrecheck does flag it's launch agents as unsigned. very much appreciate your help! Here's the report:

I just removed all the extra interfaces from my Network Panel.

I restarted after removing all those with no change.

I don't have an iPad, BUT, I might have hooked a client unit to mine to do a restore, don't remember doing so though.

I connect my iPhone 15 to my MBP to charge, not to sync.

A few months ago I replaced an iPhone SE with the 15.

Are there other places "under the hood" where those network interfaces are stored?

Via my Apple ID I have photo sync on, iCloud Drive (not using desktop & Doc storage), Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Find My Mac

Hello all,

I've been following this thread all the way to 2024 'fix' suggestions. I'm astounded with all the efforts made by so many attempting to resolve a basic function of email function-with no solution in sight.

Earlier I got dissed in this forum for griping about 'planned obsolescence' baked into the mac book by apple.

The only fix: cough up a couple K for a new mac book which will work until it won't take OS updates anymore, despite being fully functional (with the exception of email, naturally).

Outrageous!

Mail program is extremely slow loading emails from GMX server. I made sure "Protect Mail Activity" was unchecked, it was and made sure "Hide IP Address" was checked. No change. Having same problem on iPhone, cmx mail extremely slow to load while hotmail, gmail, iCloud load no issue. any ideas? Should I just drop GMX?

What worked for me yesterday no longer works. Mail won't open for 1-2 minutes each! IU am really getting tired of this nonsense.

Having the same issue with my mail but also having the same, similar issue with my Apple Music. Not sure if there may be a connection.
