I've been trying to use apple mail for 3 weeks now. It just gets so slow. Finally I went back to Thunderbird (I was using Thunderbird on my old Windows computer). Thunderbird works great. Doesn't slow down.
I'm wondering if anyone found a fix for the Mail problem?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1
A starting point in Apple Mail >> Setting >> Privacy tab
And disable any or All Options in below image
Then as per below
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, is an invitation for disaster and comprise the Operating System
Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a portion on each sale. What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase
Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions
This will include CleanMyMac , This will include BitDefender ,
This will included Norton Antivirus , Sophos Av Software
Intego AntiVirus, McAfee, MacKeeper, Avast AntiVirus
Ad Guard, Webroot , ESET , Avira , Dr Cleaner Pro Plus
Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.
The The Built in Security is all that is required.

Kind of difficult to answer this question.
There is very little actionable Information beyond " Mac Apple Mail is slow loading "
Running 3 Apple Computers,
2 of which run Ventura 13.1 and 1 with High Sierra 10.13.6
Apple Mail does not exhibit the " slow loading " issue.
Perhaps some more specific details and what actions has the user taken to fix this issue ?
I wasn't to clear. Mail loads and runs quickly. When downloading emails from AOL server it tends to continue spinning while trying to download the body of the email. I'm guessing it's got something to do with AOL and Mail interacting. Thunderbird doesn't have this problem.
Disabling the Privacy setting fix it. Thanks
You are Welcome and Thank you too
