Didn't catch that. 😊
Troubleshooting Lagging Mail on a Mac:
A. Try Safe Mode:
In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues
B. Single Out this User:
For troubleshooting purposes, create a new admin user, and then add the eMail account to it. See if it runs and faster. If so, it is a misconfiguration in your current user. If not, it is a an issue with the macOS. Remove the account prior to closing the newly-created user.
C. Use a New App Password:
Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix). For example, you'd go here for gmail: Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google

Getting New eMail to Show:
If the Mail will not show, then tap on a mailbox in the account. Next, quickly swipe your finger down the screen a few times, until it reads "Updated Just Now" in the bottom-caners of the screen:
