Email notification very slow

My Droid Incredible is very slow to notify me that i have an email, 5-10 minutes at times. My BB was gave me instant notifications so fast that I could get them on my phone before my laptop. Any ideas as to what i can do?

What he said ^. It's not very slow compared to my old WinMo phone which didn't refresh for days at a time even though it was set to 15-30 min increments.
No doubt you can get an app for email though (there is already one for Exchange servers).

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad. From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

I have an iMac, running x10.5. My email is very slow, even opening a previously downloaded message. The computer is otherwise fast. What gives?

Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
Scroll to Mail folder.
Select the V2 > MailData folder.
Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
If you have IMAP accounts, you might want to delete the accounts then add back so they download all messages from the server again.

Email Spool Very Slow

Just migrated my site from CF 4.5 to CFMX7 on a new server.
Wow! MX7 fills the spool with our 7K+ emails in a flash! Used
to take 20 minutes on CF 4.5! But MX7 is very slow on the outbound
side!
CF4.5 used to send 100 emails per spool cycle to the email
server. CFMX7 is only sending 20 -30. I have set my spool interval
to 5 seconds at this point. I cannot find any other pertinent
settings in CF admin.
I am using an internal mail server program called Ability
Mail Server. I upgraded to the latest version on the new server,
and it has always performed well in the past. It appears to just be
loafing along.
Any help?
TIA
Mike

Sending email is very slow.

Even the simplest messages can take forever to send. Sometimes I have to quit mail and try and resend, but even with that it can be very slow to send email. How can I fix this?

I found this in archived discussions. You response was very unhelpful. Thanks anyway.
The solution/fix for me was to use different DNS server ip addresses in 10.5's Network control panel.
Using my ISP's DNS servers, sending email from apple mail 10.5 was slow.
Using the OpenDNS servers - slow.
But if I only used Google's DNS numbers, sending email is fast.
The numbers are: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

My email is very slow and does not refresh automatically.

My Yahoo and Gmail accounts on my iPhone are very slow. They do no refresh automatically and I often have to restart the wireless to push emails out. I thought it might be the email provider but it happens with both accounts.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps and see if any of them help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

ICloud Email downloading very slow - TalkTalk UK

Hello all,
Please forgive me if I ramble but I'm entirely stumped by this.
I have (and have had for a few years) an iCloud account along with a ".mac" email address.
I have been using this address for the past 6 & a bit years on a succession of iPhones (currently an iPhone 5) as well as a new (2 months old) iMac - running Yosemite - without any problems.
My broadband is provided by TalkTalk in the UK & whilst they're not perfect, usually things work ok.
We're on a standard copper phone line with a download speed of approx 6.5 mbps and upload of around 750 kbps - not lightning fast but usually fine for us.
Anyway, a problem has arisen in the last couple of days whereby if I'm connected to the WiFi, either on the phone or the iMac, email downloads via my iCloud account (at the ".mac" address) are painfully slow - headers for emails will arrive and then I'm left waiting ages - sometimes minutes - for the rest of the message to appear.
I have searched both TalkTalk and Apple community forums to no avail & being as it's the weekend, Customer Services are not easily contacted.
I have tried all the usual things - rebooted/reverted to factory settings on the router and switched off WiFi on the iPhone (emails download lightning fast on 4G thus proving to my satisfaction that the broadband connection is causing the slow d/l speed).
Delivery & downloading content on other email accounts (both on the Mac & phone) is unaffected.
The mail connection doctor within Mail.app on the Mac tells me we're connected fine to iCloud IMAP.
The only thing I can think that might have caused an issue is the fact that yesterday I installed 'Plex' on the Mac with a view to streaming photos/videos etc on our Sony smart TV. It spent most of the day indexing & still didn't seem to function correctly so I got to the point where I aborted it and unistalled the app, as well as the preferences and other associated library info before emptying the trash, just to be sure..
Could the installation of this software possibly have screwed up settings in the router related to handling of the iCloud info?
I've looked in vain for any possible red flags in the router settings (I will confess to not wanting to mess with them) and have, as stated previously, restored the thing to Factory/ISP-settings without any joy.
So, before I begin the long & painful process of calling Customer Support, is there anything I can realistically look at/check which might shed some light onm this?
Any help VERY gratefully received..
David.

Hi there,
If it's not your ISP or home network hub then try your mac DNS settings, download and install namebench and run it, see what settings it gives.

Email is very slow with icloud and oftentimes won't go through at all. Ugh.

I've switched to "free" icloud - having no choice, because i've used the same email address for years in business and personal dealings and honestly, i'd rather be paying every year as i've always done. Between icloud and lion (which cost to upgrade to) I'm fed up and it's costing me a LOT more money and wasted time - so much for free!
None of my microsoft office programs will work now in addition to other software
My computer is slow as a snail now
My email is unpredictable and can't handle the files it used to
My email is slow and 1/2 the time doesn't work - just freezes up
My ipod touch can no longer be synced with my computer because of the version it is - which means i cannot use it for booking appointments on the road anymore. Nor can i refer to or add contacts on it.
I feel duped - now looking at needing new computer, new ipod, new microsoft office suite... all of which i use for work every day. I'm feeling like a windows PC user.
I'm guessing that if I don't switch my macbook to lion i'm going to have sync problems there too, or is that out the window anyway? I'm afraid to turn it on at this point.
And, losing Spaces - and having Desktops - which are so small I cannot see what's on them, total waste of time clicking back and forth repeatedly. I used spaces all day every day because I operate multiple adobe design programs simultaneously along with email, etc. I cannot see the contents of the new 'desktops' so I have to keep clicking them all until i find the one i'm looking for. I'm leaving out the other quirky glitches. Try changing your desktop background, you have to change each 'desktop' individually and when you power down, your changes are lost each night. Laughable.
Ready to dump mac mail and pay another service provider, use time machine to return to snow leopard, lose all the work i've done since then, write off the cost of lion upgrade as a waste of money and call it a day. I have to say, this is the first time I've ever been unhappy with apple - but wow, they've blown it in a big way here.

Email Push Very Slow/Not Working

Hi there,
The search function isn't working, so I apologize if this is easily corrected.
My original iPhone is working very well with software version 2.0 and contacts, calendars and bookmarks all get pushed within a reasonable amount of time (a few minutes). Mail, however, is horrible.
I have sent multiple test emails from various accounts and computers to my me.com address, and they all either don't show up without manually checking mobile mail (and sometimes I have to hit the refresh button in Mobile Mail, or they can take hours to show up. When I switch to the Mobile Mail app, I can see the rotating icon at the top of the iPhone screen, but even then sometimes the mail doesn't show up (despite it being seen in Mail.app and at Me.com).
I have deleted and re-setup my Mobile Me mail on my Macbook and on the iPhone. I have checked the "Push" settings in the iPhone Preferences/Mail, Contacts and Calendar/.
Is there some magic order I need to delete the accounts from the computer and from the iPhone to get it to start working?

I am having the same problem. I contacted a rep on the phone and he was useless. This phone is a nightmare and nobody cares.

Sending email is very slow for all clients

Starting last week sending email takes anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes from the time we click on the "Send" button until it actually sends from the Mail app. It's happening to everyone on our network as far as I can tell.
This happened in the past and after I ran Software Update on the mail server everything started working fine. Well this time we're still having the problem after all the mail server's software is up to date.
I noticed that if I send an email and I create another email and send it within a minute or so of the first one finally going out, the second one sends off immediately. If I wait a few minutes and send an email I have to wait a minute again after clicking "send" for it to actually send off. It seems as though the connection to the mail server is being reset after a minute or so. And then for the Mail App to reconnect to the mail server is taking a minute to do. I have no idea how the whole process works, but that's what it seems like is happening.
Hopefully this is making sense to you.
If you have any ideas for me to try in order to get the Mail Apps to send out mail faster please let me know.
One thing I have tried is to use the mail server's IP address instead of FQDN. Unfortunately Mail Apps with the IP address are acting just like ones with the FQDN. /shrug
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Did some testing and webmail doesn't seem to have the same problems. I sent an email from my account through webmail and it showed up in the mail queue almost instantly. Sending mail from the Mail App through an IMAP connection is still taking me just about 1 minute. Some users are telling me that it takes up to 5 minutes at times.
I also noticed that the server's CPU usage spikes about once per minute with clamscan taking up to 99% of the CPU's time. I don't remember this much CPU activity in the past. Also as of the last few weeks I have had users complaining of unusually high amounts of SPAM.
I use spamtrainer to help with the SPAM problem.
Oh how I adore those SPAMMERS... >.<

Outgoing email very slow

Outgoing email is very slow. Happened suddenly with no changes being made to the Thunderbird account. Have checked with server (Execulink telecom) and we have no problems sending directly from their web mail site. Takes almost 30 seconds to send an email with no attachments.

Sounds like you might have anti-virus software scanning the email before it is sent.
If this is the case then, try switching off the scanning to see if this improves performance.
It is also possible that your Sent folder has become very large.
Archive old sent emails, delete those you do not want, then right click on Sent folder and select 'Compact'.

My email is extremely slow to load from my 4 separate accounts. One of the accounts goes off line all the time. It is not a service provider issue. I think my passwords and ports may be all mixed up because I tried to adjust it myself. How can I fix?

My email is very slow to load from 4 separate accounts. I think I messed up ports and SSL when I tried to fix it. How do I fix this?

Hello Mary,
You may have multiple entries.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Cat 4006 S3 - Attached hosts Net access very slow prior to reboot

I have a CAT 4006 sup III running 12.1(11b)EW1 with a number of servers attached. Users started having problems accessing servers. After investigating all the impacted servers were connected to the same switch. The switch was appeared to be operating normally. Show proc cpu, show proc mem, show logging, and ping tests all normal. Warm booted switch and asics on sup failed bootup diag. Cold boot of the switch got it back up and running. Cisco Tac reviewed the post problem sh tech with no findings.
Any ideas?

No L2 loops and it was a hopefully isolated incident. We have to switches that are identical in hardware and IOS and only one was impacted.
clients of systems attached to the switch would have intermittently slow or non existent access to the host systems. Problems included saving files on network drives, email down, very slow or failed logins, application launches were slow or failed.
No messages were showing up in the switch log, let alone messages referred in the tech note. We have had asic issues on line cards in the past. Those instances were on different switches and created volumes of errors.
Layer 2 seemed fine. Pings were worked without fail. Console broadcast messages from host systems on the impacted switches made it out to clients.
Keep thinking it wasn't a switch problem but the reboot did fix the issue.
I will be replacing the sup card and doing a IOS upgrade this weekend.
