My Mail has been very sluggish-any solutions?

My Mail has been sluggish - with delays in typed message appearing slower than typed, delays in sending messages, delays in opening messages. Any solutions for this problem?

    I ordered a new phone and shipped it to a friend in Dubai, UAE. without knowing i have to activate it by making 5minutes calls, please i need a way to activate it without sending it back to the US..any help? this has been very frustrating for me this past few days

    scottxx,
    That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.

  • We recently had a few brief power failures. Since then, my Mac Pro has been very slow on start up. Any suggestions?

    We Recently had a few brief power failures. Since then, my Mac Pro has been very slow on startup. Any suggestions?

    Like the  man says:
    Run Disk Utility > Repair ... (not just repair permissions) while booted from another drive. If you have a stronger utility like Disk Warrior, that would be even better.
    If you find that the ONLY way you can do this is by booting from the DVD, The Hatter recommends you establish an emergency drive or partition on a drive other than the Boot drive and use that in the future. It makes emergency Repair, backup, and cloning much easier.

  • Hi Apple! My iphone 4g has restored and I can't retrieve the account. I have tried the password renewal that will be send on my mail but unfortunately my mail has been deactivated also.what is your solution for this kind of cases? This is so unfair.

    If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • South central PA - connectioon has been very brittle since 9-15

    Since 9-15 my connection has been very brittle and the connection won't hold very long. Within the past half hour it started to hold --- so far. On Friday I spent hours talking to India....ERRRRR! Once they got to the point that they wanted me to remove my ethernet card I knew the conversation was over. I kept telling them that the same problem is on 4 computers. From WiFi to ethernet connections. The part that gets us very upset is that nobody at VZ is willing to say...yes there is a problem in your area and we are working on it. I'm shopping for a cable modem router with WiFi and once I purchase it....by by DSL. Four long years of a lot of frustration will be over!

    Sorry to hear about your connection. That is something we can help fix. I have sent you a private message to get more information from you.

  • Mail has been "crazy"

    My mail has been acting very strange. All my mail appeared in my junk mail folder, all marked as junk. All the sent mail was marked as junk, and old mail I had deleted, and emptied from trash showed up in my inbox. I went to the genius bar, and we deleted all the junk mail, but by the time I got home, it had all returned. I am occasionally receiving mail, which I have sent to others, in my inbox, addressed to me, from me. And I still have an occasional sent email going into drafts. I marked the mail in the junk folder, and the sent folder, as not junk, put the emails where they belong, and so far , that issue seems to be OK. I then reset my junk filter. I'm not complaining at all, but I have not gotten one junk mail since last Friday, that's what prompted me to check my junk folder on Sunday, and discovered what had happened. I was getting swamped with spam until then. Now no junk at all. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this, or if anyone might have an answer as to what caused this to happen. Thanks for any help or input that might come my way! CGM

    Since I had no answer here, I took my issue to the Apple Store Genius Bar, and problems were solved there.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • My iPad 1 has become very sluggish, why and  how to fix?

    My iPad 1 has become very sluggish. Even typing often has small delays in showing letters. It seems variable, alas, so no obvious app or condition is implicated. I have closed all apps and done a cold restart but that does not help. I have the latest OS updates. Would pruning my photo library help - I usually add photos directly from my cameras and have quite a few, and they are large files.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Actually I was hoping you could tell me how you resolved the leopard Mail problem:

  • ICloud Mail has been down (Mac, iOS, online) since last night. Anyone else?

    Mail has been down completely since last night. Not able to access from Air, iPhone, iPad, or via Safari. System Status reports no problems. Other iCloud tools (Calendar, Contacts) seem fine.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I've noticed this as well since about 10:30 EST.  I used to have emails forwarding from another address and when I switched that off the other address is receiving emails instantly so it's definitely a problem on Apple's end.  It's good to see that at least one other person is reporting the problem here, but it would be even better if Apple would update the status page.  I can be very patient if I know it's a known issue for them, but hate seeing that all is up and running normally from their point of view when it isn't. 

  • Mail 6.2 very sluggish in mac osx 10.8.2

    mail 6.2 very sluggish in mac osx 10.8.2

    For me, retrieving of email, the performance is fine.  But going through my inbox (which has less than 30 messages in it), is very sluggish.  The preview pane is active, and as I arrow up or down through messages, it can take up to 5 seconds to move from one message to another.  All gneral activity inacting with the inbox is slugghish like this, whether it's opening a message, moving from one to another, deleting a message.  I'd say this cropped up within the last 4 months or so of various updates.  I can't say specifically like "on this day when this update installed, the problem started" but I do keep all my software up to date, so it's definitely a recent one.
    I have 3 POP accounts and 1 iCloud account (IMAP).  This trouble is the same regardless of which account the messages are in.

  • Mail has been updated?

    When I go to get mail a message saying "Mail has been updated. Do you want the new version to access the same keycain items (such as passwords) as the previous version".
    I haven't updated my mail apllication (Mail 2.1) and have read that I may have a virus. Do I need to buy virus protection and run a scan or do I allow the access to the keychain.
    Thanks Jimmy
