Saving attachments in Mail extremely slow!!!
I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere! But since 10.5.2 saving attachments from mail is extremely slow. Try an email with many attachments - more than 10. The size doesn't seem to matter. It takes roughly 1 second per attachment. Pre 10.5.2 was almost instant. Problem remains in 10.5.3.
Doesn't matter if I hit the 'save' button or choose 'save attachments' from the File menu.
Other mail programs do not do this. (Entourage, Gayzmail)
I think it has something to with quarantine but can't find any info.

Works here in 10.6.8. Are you using Lion, by chance?

Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).

Yahoo Mail extremely slow on Firefox 12
Yahoo Mail works fine in IE9 but is extremely slow on Firefox 12 after applying Java update 7.11 patch. Please advise on how to fix the issue.
Yo soci888! Why are you on Firefox 12? All the cool people are on Firefox 18 now. Time to upgrade and join the crew. Check out this upgrade link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version
Here is another suggested solution from another solver:
"I had the same problem. Opening Firefox in Safe mode cured it, so I knew it had to be a setting or plugin of some sort....I did all the recommended fixes and nothing changed the typing being real slow and behind when running in normal mode.
What fixed it for me is turning off the hardware acceleration option in Firefox. Here's how: Click on Firefox->Options->Advanced->General tab. Then uncheck the checkbox "Use hardware acceleration when available". Click OK. Hope it works for you. Good luck!"

Is your Mail extremely slow trying to send to a "group" from Contacts?
I can't believe how long this is taking to just add a couple groups from my Contacts into the To: area of a message in Mail. I've never had this problem with my older 10.6.8 OS. There are about 150 addresses in one group and less than 10 in another, yet, once I type in the group name, everything slows down to a snails pace in Mail and I can't type one letter without having the beachball of death start spinning. This is ridiculous! Is anyone else having these kinds of problems? Generally Mail in Mavericks has been working well for me - the amount of spam has decreased tremendously, but this new issue is a big problem!
Thanks for any insight,
ktI am climbing the walls with this.
I have to type the text of the mail, then insert the group.
Forgot about changing anything later or adding a second group.
It takes several minutes to change one character.

Hello
Recently my mail app has begun to run really slowly. For example, when I click on an unread message, it takes several seconds for the message to be regestered as read and for the small blue circle to disappear. I have more than 16,000 messages - it that the problem? If so, how do I preserve the hundreds of messages that I need records of without slowing down my Mail app
Very grateful for any feedback

Mail extremely slow for an imap account after 10.5.2 combo
Mail became very slow for a non-.mac/non-gmail imap account after I installed 10.5.2 combo. The account works fine from other mail client such as Sea Monkey. It was working fine until 10.5.1. Any hint?
Using INBOX as the path prefix is NOT the "correct way"; the correct way is server dependent. This is further complicated by the fact that servers that fully support the IMAP Namespace extension actually have more than one "path prefix".
On my company's server, we have the concept of shared mailboxes and the company relies extensively on them. If a user sets the path prefix to INBOX, he can no longer see the shared mailboxes, since that prefix limits him only to his personal mailbox hierarchy. So he must leave the prefix as blank in order to see the shared mailboxes.
Unfortunately, 10.5.2 has decided that a) it shouldn't honor the setting of "Keep Notes & ToDo's" to "On My Mac" and b) that it knows better than the user what the path prefix should be, and c) it doesn't have a "don't ever ask me again" on that annoying dialog.
I have already filed a bug report on this issue. -
Mail extremely slow, sometimes cannot connect
Mail has become incredibly slow: sometimes it take thirty seconds to load a text message with two lines.
Sometimes, upon starting up, it can't connect at all.
At the same time, the internet connection is fine, and all browsers work.
I'm on 10.8.5 with a first gen retina MacBook Pro with 512 Gb disc and 16Gb ram.
Should I reinstall Mail? What could be the reason for the sluggish performance (it doesn't happen all the time, sometimes Mail seems to work fine, but very often I get "Loading..." forever.
And, again, I'm getting the zigzag sign for interrupted connection. Why doesn't Mail work?
update: I checked activity: Mail is constantly logging out of my mail accounts, and then has to log back in, which is why it's so slow. How can I prevent Mail from logging out?
Also: Mail gets stuck in the middle of downloading messages. The blue bar in the activity window only goes halfway, and then is stuck for fifteen to thirty seconds... which is the time it needs to get me my mail.Sometimes this problem can be cured by tidying up the Keychain, where login info is stored. You can do this by opening Keychain Access in your Utilities folder. Find the location and login info for the mail account. Delete, say, all but the most recent one. Does that fix the problem? If not, go back and delete even the recent one. When Mail asks you for your login stuff, give it, then check the box which says to store it in the keychain. Sometimes just doing this last step is enough to clear up the annoying login windows.

Saving attachments under Mail 1.3.11 and OSX 10.3.9
Hi,
I appear to be unable to save any attchments that are sent to me in an e-mail, these can be photo's or video clips, whatever.
For example, with a photo attachment, if I open the attachment in Preview and select 'Save As' I get the warning 'Save, couldn't save document', if I click on the 'Save All' tab in the header of the e-mail itself, I get 'Error, Mail was unable to save the file blah blah'
I've gone through my Mail preferences but can't see anything obvious.
I'm sure this must be something simple that I'm missing but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

466mhz G4 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi Ernie,
OK so I'm feeling kinda dumb right now !
I've tried to use that control / click menu on a number of occasions and the 'Save Attachment' option never worked for me, I got the same error message.
However, I've also tried to use the 'Save to Downloads folder' option before and could never locate my saves, I thought that too was not working correctly but I've just tried it again as I went to write down the options in the menu as you asked and I've been able to locate two of my saves !!
I can only apologise for wasting your time - I guess I might've been having a brain / hand interface problem !!
Many thanks for taking the time to replay and putting me on the right track.

Downloads Folder No Longer Jumps Up When Saving Attachments
When saving attachments in Mail, my downloads folder on the Doc used to jump up a couple of times when I hit "save" from within an email that I received to signify that I just saved it into that folder.
However, for no rhyme or reason, the downloads folder no longer jumps up when I save attachments. The attachment still save in to that folder but I miss the pop-up action telling me that it did.
I searched the net and posts and found nothing on this quark. This is driving me nutz!
Please help!Check in System Preferences>Dock and check off Animate opening applications and see if that doesn't do it. Not sure if that is why but it is worth a shot.

Problem saving attachments with longish filenames
We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?
When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
Hope this helps.

Extremely slow Safari, Mail, Firefox,etc.
I have been experiencing an extremely slow computer. Safari, Apple Mail, Firefox, Apple App store, iTunes store, any app the requires the internet. Sometimes it takes Google.com 30 seconds to load. Apple Mail routinely times out. After loading a web page and then selecting the back button, it takes over 30 seconds to reload the previous page. I have turned off iCloud.
I contacted my ISP, two service calls to check the line and they replaced the cable modem. The results from Speedtest.net were +25Mbps download so their advice was to call Apple.
I have been getting a Recoverd files folder in the trash when I start up the compter. Activity monitor only shows, activity in Finder, Firefox, and Acitvity Monitor, so nothing else is running in the background.
Any suggestions? Have I missed something?
Should I do a Clean Install?
iMac, 27 inch, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB memory, Mac OS 10.8.2
Thank you.Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results. -
Problem description:
The processing speed of any function is extremely slow - such as opening Mail, Safari, clicking on a page within Safari, switching to MS Word, adding a window in Safari, loading a page from Safari. I get the spinning wheel most of the time before the action is completed. All other Macs which are newer in my home WiFi network operate just fine. I have done a top level (novice) check for malware, and haven’t found anything. Any help you can suggest would be truly appreciated! Thank you!

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.
