Mail Is Very Very Slow

I just bought a brand new iMac yesterday and some of the Mail problems I had with my old iMac are surfacing again, in spite of my deleting my email accounts from the old computer prior to transferring files and other info!  I have two AOL email accounts.  I just wrote a 6 line email, and it took almost 30 seconds to send it!  The progress bar also shows Sending 2 of 2, or whatever the number of emails I have sent in that session.  The other one went out 5 minutes earlier -- not like it was in a queue or anything.  
When I restarted my computer today after doing a software update to my day old computer, I got a download of over 20,000 emails that completely tied up everything for awhile. 
Any ideas on what is wrong how to fix these problems??

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • TS3276 My e-mail service is very slow. Even if I rebuild after opening a new message it resorts back to it's very slow service, any suggestions?

    My e-mail very very slow to download and open. I have tried rebuilding my e-mail account and after opening one or two messages at a faster speed, it slows back down. Orginally when I purchased the computer and set it up it was great.

        Thanks for the additional details msims1985. Verizon Wireless does not throttle however, we do implement network optimization. You can view more information here http://vz.to/17U9bZd The good news is 4G devices are not impacted! Per the details you provided it seems as if it is a device issues. When you received a replacement did you receive a replacement sim? If not, I suggest a new sim. You can receive a sim at a direct store location, online or I can send one. Please share. Thank you.

  • Very very slow to download gmail in mail APP iPad

    As I wrote in the title, in the last days, from when I updated iOS 7.04, I've some problem with the mail app in iPad 3rd gen.
    With the account gmail: it's very very very slow to download the emails.
    First of all, I reset the iPad, but nothing.
    So, I deleted the gmail account and set up it again... but nothing.
    So, what's the problem: Gmail? Mail APP in iOS 7.04? Both? And how can I resolved it?

  • Mail has become very, very slow.  Do I have a provider problem or is there something I can do with my Mac to speed it up?

    Mail has become very, very slow.  Do I have a provider problem or is there something I can do with my Mac?

    Couple of steps. One is general housekeeping and the other is performance related.
    If you have an extremely large number of messages in your inbox(es) or sent categories, consider the ones that remain relevant and purge those that are not. Do this regularly. Choose the Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items > In All Accounts...
    Afterwards, you can start by rebuilding your Mailbox indexes within your individual mail accounts. For each Account in the left panel of Mail under Inbox, select it, and then from Mailbox menu, choose Rebuild (bottom of menu). When you are done, exit and restart Mail.
    Still slow?

  • Mac Mail with Optimum VERY slow

    Over the past few days downloading e-mail from Optimum On Line using Mac Mail has become VERY sluggish.
    A 4 MB e-mail with an attachment takes over 7 minutes to download!!!
    Yesterday it took over 30 minutes to download about 8 e-mails.
    Outgoing mail and internet are fine, just a problem with incoming mail.
    I contacted Optimum several times the last few days.
    We checked the settings, by-passed my Airport Extreme and replaced the modem.
    The problem still exists.
    Optimum says they checked my signal and everything looks good and they have no idea what the problem is.
    It is also happening on my wife's 2 week old iMac as well.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    HI John,
    Try a different Airport channel.
    Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X.
    Select the device you’re setting up, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and move these files to the Trash.
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.applen.nat.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    Restart your Mac(s).

  • TS3276 Mail is working very slow

    I have mac osx 10.8.4 Mail is working very slowly, I have to wait a lot to see what I have written. Any help?

    Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    sqlite3 L*/C*/*.mail/*/L*/*/*/*.db vacuum
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    You should see a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) appear below what you entered. If not, press return. You can then quit Terminal and relaunch Mail. Test.
    Note: This procedure will have no effect unless you quit Mail when you begin.

  • My Iphone 3GS is very very slow after 4.0 and 4.01 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have upgrade my iphone 3GS to 4.0 and 4.01 version and now this is getting really worse than with V3 OS version. I have reset it several times but it continues working slow. Is that normal with the new OS? Can I return to Ve IOS?. This is not the Iphone I buy and the Iphone I want

    I have been having problems with very slow performance with both upgrades. With 4.0, I tried resetting my phone to original settings, then synced, but this didn't help. Just trying to activate the area to put the URL in Safari (or the Google search area) often takes forever, same with filling in forms on the web. And Mail has been very slow as well -- it takes a long time for the data to come up. I don't remember having these issues with iOS3.

  • Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

    Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
    First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
    site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
    site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
    so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
    When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
    But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
    some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
    Problem
    EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
    EMS on SP1 still ok.
    Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you
    reply from Social.technet

    Hi,
    Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
    "all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
    Hope it helps.

  • Since updating my iPad 2 to ios8, it safari has been slow and crashing and some of the apps acting wierd. The password app doesn't work at all so had to find another way of retrieving all my passwords. Very very dissapointing

    Since updating my iPad 2 to ios8, it safari has been slow and crashing and some of the apps acting wierd. The password app doesn't work at all so had to find another way of retrieving all my passwords. Very very dissapointing. It appears from these forums that a lot of people are having the same problems wit this latest update.

    Hi erastyle,
    Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
    Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

    Please let us know if it helps.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow and very very hot

    hi everyone I have a 13 inch mid 2012 MacBook pro,
    it is running very very slow and extremely hot, I downloaded a program called smc fan control and it is reading the internal temperature of my computer as 80 degrees Celsius. I was looking on the forums and saw that I should run an apple hardware test. which I have done and it is coming up with Error 4/MOT/4/40000002: EXHAUST-2003
    what does this mean? is it something to do with my fan?
    also there is a very strange clicking noise when I lift the mac up or if its on its side and sometimes it just randomly freezes,  the computer does not respond and then it restarts.
    what do I do?
    please help!

    " the fan didn't seem congested with dust, at least not enough to cause any malfunction."
    The lint and crap builds up in the heat exchanger radiator. It's the grilled thing at the output of the fan.
    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Fan+Replacemen t/10367
    Look at step 6. It's that grilled thing at the top of the fan. If you remove the fan that radiator is probably clogged with lint. Brush it all away and if possible blow out the fan with compressed air. Make sure the fan turns freely and doesn't feel stiff.

    This isn't a MBP radiator but the problem will look like this.

  • TS1398 since i have updated the latest software i am facing problem using wifi which is very very slow most of the time or wont connect at all was that update supposed to be for better or worse

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Mark.
    I've never come across your first problem on any of the Apple notebooks I currently own (or have owned in the past). Then again, perhaps I'm not looking close enough.
    Have you compared it with any other 12" PowerBook? If not, perhaps you might be able to try that at a local store with units on display.
    Otherwise you might want to give AppleCare a call. Alternatively, if you have an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider near you (I don't know where you are located) then you can take it in to be checked.
    As for your second problem (uneven illumination), that has been known to afflict other notebooks. My own 15" PB has had its screen replaced on two occasions because of this. Depending on the severity, you might be able to get it replaced. Mine became so bad that the screen was effectively unusable.
    To be honest, here in the UK, I would actually try for a replacement PowerBook - if the problems were severe enough and also because your PB is still very new. However the consumer laws in your country (wherever that may be) might be very different to mine.

  • My safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?

    my safari crashes each time i open my yahoo mail. this is very frustrating. what should i do?

    Same here :-(
    Safari works fine for all sites but as soon as I login to mail.yahoo.com and enter my login/password then I get the spinnig color wheel. Force quit is the only way out. I beleive my Mail Yahoo was working fine last month (started having this issue a couple weeks ago).
    I am using Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22) and have normal plugins (quick time, divx, google earth, iphotophotocast, java, shockwave)

  • Firefox (3.6.10) is very sluggish/slow and hangs up

    All of a sudden Firefox (3.6.10) is very sluggish/slow and hangs up
    I've been using Firefox (very actively) for over a year now and all of a sudden (yesterday) it began to act very sluggishly. On sites I have always visited frequently it hangs up for periods of 15-90 seconds or more, won't scroll down, won't open hot links, slowly opens new tabs ...
    I rebooted my PC (multiple times), powered down my modem and router, ran a Norton disk optimization - essentially making sure it was not an outside factor effecting Firefox's performance. (Note: I am using a cable connection.)
    I then ran a side by side speed comparison with Internet explorer (on my 2nd monitor) going to the same web sites, and IE had no problems/hang-ups.
    FYI I only have a couple of add ins/extensions (Java, Microsoft Framework, Norton, No Squint, & RealPlayer) and none of those are new within the past few weeks at least.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this? How to fix? (As I much prefer Firefox to any Microsoft product.)
    Thanks.

    Yes, FF gets sluggish from time to time. Sorry but it's the fact! FF also cannot render some websites properly (especially v3.6.10). I'm a big fan of all Mozilla software but FF 3.6.10 makes me very disappointed.

  • My BlackBerry Messenger is very very slow. I am not rece...

    My BlackBerry Messenger is very very slow. I am not receiving the messages in a timely fashion.

    Do you mean your iPhone got wet in the rain?  If so, turn it off, put it in a plastic bag with some uncooked rice and let it dry out for several days (minimum).  You might want to change the rice out every day too, especially if you notice it swelling (from moisture coming out of the phone).
    Continue to use it and you risk further harm from continued water damage.  If it does not work after drying out, then you can take it to Apple and pay for an out of warranty exchange (water damage voids the warranty, so you would have to pay the replacement fee).
