Mail painfully slow after 10.5.7 update

Mail is downloading incoming messages at 0.1-8kb per second. Before I updated to 10.5.7 it was downloading at 400-500kb per second. Anybody got a fix?

Yup, same problem for me (on this laptop and my Mac Pro tower).
I don't know if this is related, but I've also got problems with mailboxes continually being rebuilt - Mail seems to lose track of the messages and has to rebuild. Until the mailbox is rebuilt, sometimes minutes, sometimes hours if its got lots of messages, I'm locked out.
I've probably got over 60,000 email messages accumulated over the years. I suspected the "Envelope Index" file was causing problems. Trashing it and letting Mail rebuild the file did not solve the problem (though it took a painfully long time to do).
I seem to have found a work around by archiving a hierarchy of mailboxes with old messages and deleting them from Mail. This reduced the file size of "Envelope Index" from about 120 megs to about 112 megs. Now Mail is working better. My incoming data rate is NOT better, but at least mailboxes are not being randomly rebuilt.
I also found this: http://www.friday.com/bbum/2007/03/02/vacuuming-mails-envelope-index-to-make-mai l-faster/
The article describes how to vacuum the "Envelope Index" file. This process further reduced the filesize to about 108 megs.
The slow data rate is killing me, I hope this is solved soon!

  • Junk mail function slow after 10.4.8 update

    I upgraded to 10.4.8 yesterday. Since then, whenever I mark a message as junk or change the junk setting on a message that is in the junk folder, I go into major beach ball mode. Have anyone else experienced this?

    Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of not having installed the update properly, so let's first make sure that the update is properly installed.
    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update using the Combo installer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    You may also want to take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

  • My 6-year-old iMac is painfully slow after I installed Mavericks, despite increasing ram to 4 GB.  Any help out there?.

    My 6 year old iMac is painfully slow after I installed Mavericks, despite upgrading to 4 GB of Ram.  Everything stops and I see the spinning beachball way too frequently.  Any suggestions or solutions?

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

    My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
    Thanks in adavnce for help.

    Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • Network slow after 10.4.5 update

    Hi there, after installing the 10.4.5 update my PowerBook 12" is really slow when accessing network services. Web, Mail are impossibly slow.
    I have a cable modem broadband connection with a Belkin wireless router sharing the connection. The laptop connects via Airport and uses DHCP for autoconfiguration.
    I have tried the fix suggested on MacFixit of putting the DNS manually in the TCP/IP settings. Also I have turned off IPv6 which was also suggested to no avail.
    My other laptops with earlier system revisions are running fine (I am using one to write this) and I have tried the Mac on another network with the same effect so it has to be something that 10.4.5 has done to my poor alubook
    Can anyone help please.
    PowerBook 12" 867Mhz 1.12GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    Mac OS X 10.4.5 (#9): Another fix for network slowness -- re-applying the combo updater; SIIG FireWire card not working; more
    Another fix for network slowness -- re-applying the combo updater Over the past few days we've outlined a number of fixes for network slowness that occurs after the update to Mac OS X 10.4.5, including entry of a DNS address, toggling of IPv6 and more.
    We've now received notes indicating that a tried and true workaround for various issues -- re-applying the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater (as noted in our general workarounds for 10.4.5) -- can have beneficial effects in this case as well.
    MacFixIt reader Fred Moore writes:
    "After much thrashing about and wasted time, I appear to have solved both the slow web page loading as well as my email sending problems in one stroke. Guess how: download the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater and reapply it. This nonsense has cost me a lot of time but everything seems to work now. IPv6 is set back to Automatic, there is no entry in the Network prefs DNS server field, and my email sending works perfectly (so far; I've sent a bunch of tests). Why didn't I just download the combo updater and apply from my hard drive at the beginning? Well, Software Update should (yes, I know, I know...) work. I'll never again use Software Update for a system update."

  • System gets Slow after 10.6.5 update

    So, I just updated it using standalone combo installer and straight away notice that to repair the disc permitions now takes 3 mins, before it took only 1min. even if there is nothing to repair. and futher more my whole system gets very slow after a few hours of using safari, skype, vuze, together and wasn't able to shut down just after using safari alone, had to press the power. havent been using anything else for so long so dont know how about it, but it seems to be ok. ah, im using airport to get to the internet if that's important.

  • Running slow after downloading a mandatory update

    running slow after downloading an update!
    I had zero complaints until today when I downloaded an update and restarted my machine.
    Now It feels like I'm back in the PC world.
    Any suggestions?

    If it is Safari loading web pages slowly, I would suggest http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230 or http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594, one of these will surely help. If not, as previously suggested, more detail will greatly help.

  • Mail behaving poorly after 10.4.10 update

    Just updated the MBP to 10.4.10 about an hour ago. Now Mail is doing the following things:
    • Will not automatically open a new message and address it when you click on a mail link on a website (e.g., craigslist).
    • Will not quit. I have to force quit, every time.
    • Occasionally, I'll start a new Mail message, but it will not let me type in the window.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Did you install the update while doing other things with the computer?
    Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of the problem already being there, or some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s “Important: Please read before installing” warnings, etc.
    The first and third issues you describe indicate that some Launch Services cache or preferences has become corrupt — not sure about the second, though, but repairing the disk might take care of that as well.
    The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for the Launch Services issue probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

  • IPhoto slideshow is very very very slow after the latest software update

    As the subject states, iPhoto slideshows are very slow: after clicking on the slideshow-button first nothing happens, after a while the screen goes black (that lasts about a minute or so) and the (finally) the slideshow starts. which is very annoying because it displays no options screen at first as it used to do, it just starts using very annoying standard music... quitting slideshow again to go to the options menu takes ages!! this problem started after the latest software update... way to go Apple...
    suggestions anyone?!

    EelcoR
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Well I haven’t seen this problem.
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Why is Firefox Painfully Slow After Upgrade?

    Ever since Firefox went from version 3 to version 4 it has gotten worse and worse! I kept upgrading up to version 6 hoping it would somehow get better, but it has not! It was SO painfully slow that it would bring my whole system to a screeching halt. I am a long-time Firefox user and have promoted it to everyone who's still stuck in IE - but now I myself have switched to Google Chrome just because it WORKS and works FAST! Please, whatever you have to do to make Firefox work as fast as it used to - please fix this problem!! I've just downgraded back to version 3 just so I can use Firefox for some web development I need to do using Firebug...

    I run very few or no extensions with the exception of Java and Flash. I never, '''NEVER''' use stupid toolbars. The problem with FireFox on OS X Lion seems to be related to the OS. The speed of my Internet connection never changed and it continues to be fast for all of my computers, both Mac and Windoze 7.
    If you change your default DNS on the Mac to something like the IP address of the Google DNS servers, FireFox and Chrome will run at normal speeds. If anyone needs help with this, please post another message and I will post instructions.

  • Mail slow after 10.7.2 update

    All,
    After updating to 10.7.2, Mail has been extremely sluggish. There is frequently a time delay between my input (e.g. mouse/trackpad scroll or click) and Mail's response. Loading a message in the preview pane takes 5-10 seconds, and multiple message selection often doesn't work on the first try. Is there something I should do to streamline/compress mailboxes, or does this have something to do with iCloud?
    Thanks!
    Lou

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • MacBook painfully slow after updating OS X to 10.9.5!!!!!

    My MacBook runs extremely slow since updating to 10.9.5 today!  Why is this?  While typing this the color wheel came up approximately every two words.  Took over ten minutes just to post this!!!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • MacBook Air painfully slow after Yosemite update

    Dear all,
    I've updated my Macbook Air (2011) to Yosemite in order to make it compatible with Apple TV.
    Since doing this everything is VERY slow, not just slightly slow but VERY slow.
    I was advised to buy more memory - but it doesn't seem possible to purchase extra memory for a MacBook Air.
    I would really like to take a step backwards and change back to my previous OS - is there any way of doing this?
    I don't mind not using Apple Tv with my Mac as long as it goes back to working normally.
    Thanks and sorry if this question has already been posted.

    Hi,
    I ran Etrcheck and this is the result :

  • Mail Not Working After 10.9.4 Update

    Is anyone else having mail issues after the 10.9.4 update this week?
    Neither my iCloud or Cox email account is able to send or receive email after this update.  The small exclamation mark appears to the right of each account, both for incoming and sent email...as well as the Junk email.  The error says something about not being able to connect to Port 993.
    I tried disabling SSL in both accounts (which automatically changes Mail to a different port) but saw no change.
    I know email works on both of these accounts as I'm able to access them on my iDevices, so it has to be something specific to my iMac.
    Any suggestions?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
