Q: Too long time to download mail attachment on mac
Hi!
I am using Mail 9.3 on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch) OS X EI Capitan. It takes too long time (>half a hour) to open mail (gmail, yahoo) attachments of few MB size. It doesn't even show "downloading" or "blue progress bar/circle"; so there is no clue whether downloading is in progress or not.
Many times, after such a long wait the downloaded files get error/corrupted/altered; and hence can not be opened. Also, Mail gets hanged sometimes and has to "force quit" and "restart" the Mac.
The entire experience is "so frustrating".
However, it's pretty efficient when I download the same file on iPhone 5 or iPhone7.
Your quick response and fix to this problem will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
