Why do I keep getting the spinning wheel time out when using my Mac Mail? It seems to happen more when Google is open too.

When using Mac Mail on my MacBook Pro I get the spinning wheel and can't get out unless I force quit and start over. Usually happens when I have google open too.

What does that mean—have google open? Do mean when you have a browser open and you are trying to use google search?


You can see more about third party interference if use the http://etrecheck.com/ to get good look at your system. Post the results if you need help interpreting the output.


To trouble shoot further you can:


Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen as certain system caches, dynamic loader cache etc get cleared and

rebuilt. This test will tell you if third party inference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.


Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

Yes when I have Google Chrome open with Safari. I have done the safe boot before and not much was found wrong at that time. Here is the report after running the interface software:
