Mail is slow to load messages from Gmail, Exchange and inbox.

I have three email accounts in Mail, iCloud (12k), Gmail (57k) and Exchange (31k). I have just around 100,000 total inbox and sent messages.
Often, like 99% of the time, I'll get an email alert in notification center and when I click on it mail is unable to display this message because it hasn't come through yet. Sometimes I'll be looking in Inbox (all three accounts combined) and the message that just came through, or the last dozen messages, aren't there. If I go to the individual account, I can read the messages that came through. Other times, inbox is just empty for a few minutes.
I've given up on using the UNREAD smart mailbox because I'll be reading a message in there and it just disappears because I guess after viewing it for more than 3 seconds means it has been read.
This is growing increasingly frustrating. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Do I have too many messages? I'm really good with keeping a zero inbox and deleting messages I don't need.
I actually rebuilt my entire computer, erased the hard drive even, just to fix this email issue. It didn't help at all.

I'm having the same type issue. I'll hear Mail chime and there will be nothing new.
I even have rules to make the Dock icon bounce when I receive email from certain people... that will trigger, but no new messages. Eventually they show up, sometimes hours later, but there was at least one Gmail message that Mail never delivered. That really has me concerned and looking at alternatives.
All of this started for me after Apple's patch to fix Mail.

Apple mail won't stop deleting messages from Gmail server

Hello everyone:
For a long time I had my mail set up to delete messages from the gmail server, but recently I changed my mind. I tried changing the settings to remove copy after a month and nothing happened, i.e. immediately deleted messages from server. Now I've tried changing it to never remove a copy and it is still doing it. What am I missing?

I should say: it does leave a copy in "all mail" but deletes it from the inbox section so they are unavailable on my iPhone as soon as my laptop grabs it....

Why is Mail 6.2 not displaying messages from my Exchange account?

Greetings,
I have a new 13" MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and I'm noticing that most of the time my Mail inbox is not displaying messages from my work Exchange account; however, it does display messages correctly for my Gmail account. I've included a screen shot of what I'm experiencing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Garry

I have the same problem, as does a coworker. It happens, for instance, if I click on another mailbox (such as Junk) then go back to the inbox. Our company uses Exchange. Quitting mail usually fixes it. A rebuild of the mailbox will too. Only happens on my Mac at work, not my Mac at home (connected via VPN).
Another problem I have is with mail not syncing. Mail I have deleted from another device (such as on my Mac at home or my iPad) does not get deleted from my inbox at work. Sometimes they'll go away when I click on them. Other times they won't go away and the only way to delete them is to rebuild the mailbox.
And lately I have had problems with attachments. Attachments sent from my Exchange account at work show up as .eml attachments in my iCloud account and mime attachments on my iPad or as a string of characters (20-30), not as an attachment. This happens whether sent from home or work.
I have our IT department looking into the third problem (which is the most vital one for me). I'll report the other two annoying problems and see what they can figure out.

Mail App stopped downloading new messages from Gmail

I'm using MBP with OS X Lion.
I've been using Mail App for my two Gmail accounts. I also use two different types of mail downloading systems (POP and IMAP) for them. For some reason, the speed of downloading new messages started slowing down a few weeks ago; however, I could still use it until today. Today, it seems like it is completely out.
It just stopped downloading new messages completely.
For the POP account, it says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “POP” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.gmail.com” on port 995 timed out.
For the IMAP account, it says:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “IMAP” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.gmail.com” on port 993 timed out.
The weird part is that I can still send an email out of those accounts fine.
I checked the settings for Gmail, and everything seemed just fine.
I tried to re-do everything so deleted the IMAP account. Now it shows the message below:
The Google IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
I tried Connection Doctor and it shows as below:
I followed the suggestion by changing unchecking those boxes for SSL, but it didn't help either.
I tried "Rebuild" under mail box menu bar but it also didn't do anything.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thank you in advance.

By the way, my Mail App is version 5.3

Mac Mail Constantly Downloading thousands of messages from Gmail IMAP

Hello,
I have seen similar problems posted, but no real solutions. I use Google apps +(and regular gmail) and like to keep copies of my messages saved locally on my Macbook. When I setup an IMAP account in Mac Mail ver 4.6, it downloads the messages fine, but then constantly keeps 'updating' and downloading more messages - the status indicates x number of messages out of 20,000+
This eats up my hard drive space very quickly!
Any solutions?
Much appreciated!

Ok - maybe I am confusing my 'All Mail' folders with my acutal memory. But here is why I think there is a problem:
My google apps says:
Using 3.7 GB of your 25 GB
and
My gmail says:
Using 7.5 GB of your 10.1 GB
The storage referred to is the amount in your Gmail or G.Apps account, not Ram or HD space on your Mac FYI

Mail is slow to load -- a fix?

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.8.4 and Mail 6.5, and lately (but not consistently) Mail is slow to display messages. At the same time, one of three email account inboxes -- a Google mail account -- began disappearing and reappearing in no discernable pattern. Neither problem occurs on my iPhone.
I have already tried Linc Davis' fixes using Go to Folder and Terminal, but to no avail (Thanks anyway, Linc!)
Help, please!

In mail how do I stop messages from the same sender from showing up when I select the most recent message from a sender?

on my iMac, when I view messages there is a grey number at the top of the message. This number denotes the amount of messages from that sender and when I view the most recent message in my mailbox (from that sender) all of the older messages load with it and this takes a while for the message to become moarked as "read." I know that I can turn this off because I have mountain lion on my air and i do not have this issue. how can i turn it off?
thanks

thanks so much, that fixed it! before I posted this quiestions I kept looking in the mail preferences but I dind't think to look on the View menu.

I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

"One of the benefits of Match, right? Saving hard drive space."
I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

Safari is having problem loading messages in gmail. When using other browsers, there is no problem loading and viewing the messages. What is going on? please help!

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Importing Messages From Gmail

Can anyone tell me how toimport my messages from gmail into verizon webmail? When they are imported, is the file structure from gmail brought over into verizon webmail?
Thanks,
Cliff

You can use trueswitch to migrate your email. go to www.trueswitch.com/verizon to start the process. It will ONLY bring over emails in your inbox, so make sure everything is copied to your Gmail inbox prior to starting this process.

How do I suppress messages/loading bars from Import-Module and Import-PSSession?

Hello,
How do I suppress messages/loading bars from Import-Module and Import-PSSession?
I am writing a script that will be using these commands and it makes the script look clunky/scary to novice users.
Thank you for your time.

Sorry to bring this back up, but it seems that the ProgressPreference worked for Exchange, but it didn't affect the Active Directory progress bar. Any ideas why?
Strange, this worked just fine for me (no module loading indication):
PS C:\Users\mike.admin> $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
PS C:\Users\mike.admin> Get-ADUser mike.admin | Select Name
Name
mike.admin
Don't retire TechNet! -
(Don't give up yet - 12,950+ strong and growing)
I do run the Import-Module command inside a function, but I doubt that would do it because I assume the preference is set scriptwide.
This will work anywhere.
$global:ProgressPreference='SilentlyContinue'
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.

My family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and vice versa. is there anything we can do

my family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and vice versa. is there anything we can do

The short solution is to go to Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls OFF.
However, as Csound points out, you should not really be sharing an Apple ID with anyone. See: How to Stop Sharing an Apple ID.

Hi,
Were you able to do it? We are facing this same issue now and, despite the fact the docs say otherwise, it does not seem to be a trivial task.

I have deleted voicemail messages from my 4s and it still says my mailbox is full. How do I remove my voicemail messages?

phone - voicemail - delete message - then swipe right to left, to delete the deleted messaged.
This is where the deleted message is store when you delete the message.
