Mail is very slow downloading in iOS 18

I have the same problem in iPadOS 18.2 (iPad Pro with M2) and iOS 18.2 iPhone 14 PRO (started with version 18). Before I had the option hide Ip activated and attachments would download at normal speed.

i have several emails from different providers and it is the same for all of them.

i used to do a lot of work with email from my iPad and now it is useless.

please solve this urgently or help us with a solution.

Also struggling with Comcast/Xfinity email accounts with iOS 18+ on iPad and iPhone. Previously uninstalled and reinstalled mail accounts, which didn’t help. Have just now tried the IMAP / suggestion and will see how that goes. Next will try privacy protection suggestion.

Everything is fine on my old PC laptop with Outlook 365 resident on computer though.

Mail very slow in downloading to iPhone 15 and iPad … even changing status from unread to read is also very slow

Apple needs to resolve this ASAP. It’s big problem while responding or forwarding emails. And it’s neither due to the network nor the length / Size of email.

In an attempt to see if gmail was the culprit I’ve deleted the account from my M2 iPad but Mail is still ridiculously slow. I hope 18.3 brings a solution.

So annoying. I wound up deleting/re-adding my mail account, and it seems to have remedied the situation (at least for now….).

iOS 18.2 (22C152), even the simplest of pure text mails will load pretty much indefinitely when opening. Preview in list is fine, but once I open the mail, I’m stuck on loading

My emails are slow to download since the latest update

I tried the IMAP Path Prefix fix but it doesn't appear to have helped (I am running 18.1.1). The main issue appears to be the time taken for the initial connect to the IMAP server. Note that this seems to be affecting people who use Gmail primarily but are there others with the same issues?

Further to my most recent email regarding the time to connect to the IMAP server, I have noticed a similar problem with Outlook (16.16.27 201012 - yes I know it is old :-) on my MacBook. Maybe Google has made a change to Gmail around the same timeframe?

iphone 13, ios 18.1.1, gmail in apple mail app taking forever to connect/load. Not getting business emails and no notifications. Constantly refreshing but doesn't help. Come on apple. We are being charged more for tech and getting less for every update. Tried the IMAP Path Prefix, deleting the mail app, reseting iphone. Nothing works. Having to use the Gmail app now.

I’m experiencing slow email on my iPhone 15 Pro and my ipad 13 “. It become clearer that it’s become slow since upgrading to the latest OS on both

This has clearly become a workflow issue that Apple is needing to address

Hello! I have a problem with the native Mail application after upgrading to the new version of iOS 18.2.1 with the iPhone 12 Pro Max phone model. A mailbox running on Kerio Connect software from Kerio Technologies is set up in the corporate environment. The problem is as follows: when receiving emails with attached files, the attachments do not load for a long time. I used the Internet connection and Wi-Fi with a speed of over 200 MB/s and a stable 5G connection. There were no such problems before the update. We also completely deleted the mail program, deleted the account from the phone, on other devices of different models (15 pro max, 16 pro max), the latest iOS is installed everywhere, the result is the same, the attached files are not downloaded for a long time. There are no such problems with other mail applications, but using them is absolutely not suitable for me, I only need the native Mail application.

Thanks for your suggestion but it didn’t work for me. I tried your suggestion on all my devices - iPhone, iPad, and iMac but it made no difference. I appreciate your suggestion.

I’ve tried many suggestions from this forum but nothing is working for me.

I need this fixed by Apple. It’s humiliating. I can’t have this happen. I will lose work over this.

I’m in a meeting with a client and get asked to open an email and it can take 10-15 mins to load and often it doesn’t load at all. It’s embarrassing and it looks like I’m unprepared and I am never unprepared. I can’t work with this.

Thanks for letting me vent.

None of the new releases and none of the suggestions work for me. I’ve rebooted more times than I can count. I’ve installed new cables and a new modem. I’ve done dozen of speedtests. This started with IOS 18 and now it takes a few seconds to download a subject line and minutes to download a single line message. This is not good support from Apple.
