Spinning wheel in Macmail
I am operating Big Sur 11.6.7
I will explain step by step what I have done
- I accidentally deleted a folder - containing many subfolders and e-mails in my Macmail
- Looked everywhere but could not find it - thought I might find it in libraries but was not sure what to look at
- rang APPLE CARE and after over an hour of checking - I gave him access to my screen, i suggested we do restore from my backup back onto my same USER to an earlier time which I knew was there
- Restored Ok and file missing file was there - hooray
- Now - every time I open Macmail, I get a spinning wheel again which affects the operation of any program I get - so obviously Macmail is still the problem
- rang APPLECARE again and they suggested I re-install BigSur so it would give me the latest updates
- I did a complete install of Big Sur - rebooted and had another look
- STILL THE SAME
- I decided to turn off macmail and computer runs WELL - NO SPINNING WHEEL!
- I know there is something wrong with my Macmail because when I had it on, my e-mails on my Iphone did not sync - using IMap as they used to
- I am writing to the communities because to be honest I don't think APPLE Care rep looked at it deep enough to fix fault and I have had good results from the communities in the past
- i am happy to use ETRECHECK so you can have a look at the proble.
- THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
