End of report

I was finally able to fix my Mail issue. For months I could not get Mail to sync after coming back from a Time Machine Restore. So today I used a Uninstaller app and I was able to remove it's connected files and folders. And that seem to solved Mail running in the background. Something I've noticed using Activity Monitor. Since the OS was reinstalled iCloud hasn't completely sync yet. So I know that's going to be running in the background. I figured I had old software installed but I had no idea it would effect the system when the applications are not running.

I’ll try that software after trying this Malwarebytes remover application. I had older software installed that’s not supported for Mojave perhaps that could be the reason. Plus it’s Beta. But it was the same issue I’ve found with High Sierra. So maybe Parallels 13 and Little Snitch 4 might have something running to slow things down in the background. Heck even Bootcamp was slower than expected. So I erased (reclaimed the partition). I think it’s the CPU and GPU to be honest.

There must be a command line to do the same . That link is to software that will cost me $10.

Yup, it’s running High Sierra again. I switched back and the problem is still there. Should I be using Sierra for my model perhaps the age if the device? I’m out of Options. 😩
