Apple Mail app very slow since last update

Gmail was unusable before the Mail Fix update.

Now its more usable but is extremely slow to load messages, so there's still a remaining problem, or there's a new problem.

Either way, Apple needs to get another fix out.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Hi Steve, I too have had the exact same problem on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. If you send one normal email at a time with no attachments it tends to work. However, as soon as you add an attachment of more than 1Mb, then it won't send, and the progress bar just sits at half way. I have to quit Mail and restart until the message goes. Any attachment above 1Mb just won't send at all! Plus if there are more than 1 email in the outbox, then they won't send either, and you I have to quit Mail again and again until they send. This never used to happen, and I was able to send large files of say 10Mb with no problem, along with multiple emails.

Apple, please sort this problem out, as I can't run my business in this way.

Has anybody got any solutions to this infuriuating problem?

Thanks!

Andy

Agreed. It's painful to write an email now. It takes several seconds for my text to catch with my typing and I'm not that fast of a typist. This HAS to be fixed, and soon!

I'm having the same problem. I searched the web and found this page- link below. Seemed to help a little.

I tried the FixKB article and it looks like my mac mail's GMail box is performing reasonably well now. Quick summary of

http://www.fixkb.com/2013/03/apple-mail-application-very-slow-to-respond.html

1) Quit Mail

2) Open Terminal

3) Paste the following into Terminal window:

sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope\ Index vacuum;

4) Hit Enter.

5) Wait a moment until that process seems complete.

6) Restart Mail

thanks its a little better now,

Hi Frank

I did this as well as Repaired Disk in Disk Utility (though there for no error in Verify Disk)

But still it takes for ever to add even a small attachment in Mail Mac Mavericks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
