ICloud Web Version of Mail Very Slow

I have successfully installed ICloud on my PC and IPhone and have no trouble getting mail through these devices. However, if I am at another location and use a computer to log onto ICloud via the web it is very very slow in loading messages and performing any function such as deleting or moving a file. This was true for MobileMe as well. Anyone else having issues with this? Apple, any plans for upgrading the web version of ICloud Mail?


Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I'm having the same issue. The mail is extremely slow and difficult to work with. Sometimes when I try to send a message the window freezes and nothing gets sent. The calendar is just as bad. I don't even go into my calendar on the web version anymore. I tried to put in appointments and they would delete on their own and it was really slow.


The web version of iCloud is almost unusable at this point. It is worse than mobileme which I never thought could be possible.

I too am frustrated with iCloud and performance on the web. Thank God this is not my main email address or I would've dropped Apple. I use Chrome as my web browser on my Mac Pro, and when trying to open iCloud over the web I can boil coffee and come back and it's still trying to open. There's always an error message first, then I click "retry" then again more time and finally opens up. What's going on? Don't tell me to clear the cache cause that has been done and it doesn't matter from which computer you try, iCloud is SLOW.

Yep, iCloud's webmail is awefully slow for me too. I migrated all my mail over from GMail and while I want everything to remain in the Apple ecosystem, I regret the move. GMail is so fast and just works. iCloud is painfully slow and sometimes unreliable.


C'mon Apple... you guys have lots of cash in the bank. Surely you could put better resources into this and make it better than Google!
