SLOW MAIL UNDER MAVRICKS

why is MAIL slow and unsteady under MAVRICKS after upgrade?

I gave up.
I rebuilt about ten times.
Created a new user account entirely, with a new "short" name and started mail from scratch.
Nothing helped - Mavericks is definitely a "downgrade" with respect to Mail.app's speed of operation.
I tried copying the old Mail.app from another Mountain Lion mac (that I will now never upgrade to Mavericks due to this issue) but it doesn't work, tons of errors.
I gave up and am now using Thunderbird on my "upgraded" macbook air.
Skipping Mavericks on the MBP and Mini, since I already now have one mac that ***** when it comes to .. email.. such a basic function when it's not working.
so irritating.
tempted to go through the lengthy and painful process of a format and fresh install.

Because if I go into my email account nothing appears in the outbox?Of course not. Why would it appear in your e-mail reader's outbox when your e-mail reader did not send the e-mail ?
my Pl/sql looks like:
BEGIN
utl_mail.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Test',
message => 'HOlix');
END;And this results in the Oracle database server to contact the mail server and send the mail. Your e-mail client is not part of this process. Your e-mail reader does not know about that e-mail. Your e-mail reader is a client- not a server. It has no reason to know what another e-mail client (your PL/SQL code) send or did not send.
You want an outbox? You need then to design and code one for your PL/SQL mail client.
I dont understand what happen?Perhaps you should read up on WHAT a mail (SMTP) server is, HOW it works, and WHAT a PPOP3/IMAP mailbox is, and HOW that works?

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, 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). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Using Mail under iOS 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old adreesses?

Using Mail under iOS, 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old, obsolete adreesses no longer in Contacts?

If you open Mail and then in its File menu at the top, click on Window and choose Previous Recipients, you'll get a popup window listing them. At that point, you can highlight and delete any/all.

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same difficulty. "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same/similar difficulty? "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

"Weird" needs further explanation.
Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

Mail under Mavericks_keep failing the right place to put the cursor to rewrite a word

Mail under Mavericks_keep failing the right place to put the cursor to rewrite a word.
When I´m writing a mail, if I see an error and want to rewrite a word or a sentence, it´s almost impossible to put the cursor at the right place to rewrite what I need. Most of the times I´ve to erase entire sentences and write everything again.
Any suggestion for this new problem under Mavericks? Please.
Thank you.

Slow mail after upgrade

Hi,
I just upgraded to 10.4.6 from 10.3.9 and imported all my old mail into Mail 2.0.7. Upon opening Mail, I found it frustratingly slow - it would take minutes to consult or perform any action in the mail environment.
I browsed through various related topics on the discussion board and have speeded Mail up somewhat by deleting some files after following the thread "Some mailbox files used by Mac OS X 10.3 are not deleted after importing". However, this seems designed more to free up space on my hard disk (although I have more than 14GB available, so the problem isn't there) and not curing a slow Mail problem.
I imported around 5 thousand e-mails (I didn't lose any). I even tried putting my old mails into a seperate folder on the desktop so that Mail wouldn't have to churn through them, but this didn't seem to help.
Has anyone out there experienced this or have any idea what I can do?
Many thanks...

I tried what you suggested to no effect - Mail
re-built the mailbox as before...
That was to be expected. I suggested it just to be sure what the situation was before proceeding any further. You've jumped ahead too fast, though. The idea was to delete and recreate again the bad account only (after having made a backup copy), then quit Mail, rename the account folder moved to the Desktop and move it back into the Mail folder, replacing the new account folder created by Mail.
I then reinstalled Mail from the Tiger installation disk.
This could very well have been a really bad idea. If the Mac OS X version number of your install disks is less than what you're currently using, you'll have to reinstall the latest Mac OS X Combo Update now, as well as any Security Updates you had installed afterwards:
Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update for PPC
Security Update 2006-003 Mac OS X 10.4.6 Client (PPC)
Read the following article for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Installing software updates
Any ideas before I throw the machine at the wall?
Plenty of ideas.
Do you have any third-party Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/. Do you see a Bundles folder there?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items. What do you see there?
Also, what exactly did you try in regards to cache cleaning? Did you try resetting LaunchServices in particular (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=487436#2364214, for example, for more info on this)?

Outgoing mail under 3G and Wi-fi

I use my iPhone 3GS under 3G network and two different WiFi connections, so I have three different connection providers.
No problem with incoming mail (under POP protocol) in the above mentioned situations.
For as regards the outgoing mail, it seems that only the main SMTP server is took into consideration, and not the others SMTP servers.
So, in any of the above connection situation, it is necessary to manually insert into the main server field SMTP server identification which matches with the provider setting; in this way, the outgoing mail works correctly.
The alternate servers are not considered, even they are correctly configured and activated.
The consequence is that any time I move and change the connection provider, I am obliged to re-write by keyboard the main SMTP server id.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

What's the deal with 3G and Wi-FI now with Froyo. Before the upgrade I was able to have both Wi-Fi and 3G at the same time, now I have to pick between the 2 depending on what i am doing. WeatherBug Elite and MarketPlace only work with 3G, maybe it did also before but at least I didn't have to choose which type of network to run, because both 3G and Wi-fi were running. Sometimes my Wi-fi signal is faster depending where I am, like at Home. Has anyone else seen this type of quirkiness? Is there a way around it?
Curious...does weatherbug tell you to use 3g or do you just notice that the 3g is on and wifi is not?
The phone never used both at the same time and at least on mine it switches automatically depending on if theres a wifi signal or not AND application.
some apps may use 3g and cell connection over wifi, especially apps that use location to provide things like weather. Your location is likely obtained thru cell towers so wifi wouldnt be accessed by weatherbug. But market should use wifi if a connection is available.

Groups does not work in Mail under Mavericks

Its not just smart groups, by I cannot get any of my Groups to work with Mail under Mavericks. I am weary of having to type out the address for each person separately. Is there some better way?

I don't know why typing he name of a regular group does not work for you, but…
Another way is to open the address panel, select a group, then select all in the group, then click the two button.

Mail under Mountain Lion is painfully slow / unusable

I started this on a separate list. Someone suggested posting to the ML group so here goes. Take a look at:
     https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4142266
To summarize again:
The upgrade to Mountain Lion went smoothly but Mail works really badly afterwards.
When sending an email, it takes a few minutes before the mail goes out. And that's with any size message.
Auto-completion of mail addresses while composing takes multiple minutes. Even after it finally comes up with a list of email addresses, pressing enter on one also takes minutes to acknowledge
At various times, hitting the mail icon on the dock has no effect. The same is true with Command+TAB
Overall, the unresponsiveness is painful and making me wish I hadn't upgraded
I use Mail for work as well as home. It's now making my work day completely useless as composing and sending a single email now takes about 5 minutes (regardless of the size of the email).

Finally - I have a fix. It was related to address book problems.
The solution is highlighted here:
     https://discussions.apple.com/message/19037910#19037910
*** Be warned though - make sure you already have contacts up in iCloud before doing this:
1. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and uncheck "Contacts"
2. You need to remove the folder /Users/<your_name>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
          If you have issues removing, quit Mail and Contacts
          If you don't have contacts in iCloud, try renaming the folder
3. Reboot the machine
4. Bring up System Preferences, go to iCloud and now check "Contacts"
Now when you bring up Contacts, it should sync with iCloud, Mail and Messages will work fine.

Mail under 10.9.1 super slow

I'm unable even to reliably type into a compose window.
Can't select mail messages in the list and move them without long delays.
I've turned off SpamSieve (2.9.12) hoping that would help but it didn't do much if anything.
I'm on 10.9.1 with fully updated software.
Any ideas ?

Excellent! Thank you Dimaxum. I went to that discussion thread and found that the following fixed my problem. I very much appreciate you hanging in there with me!
In just a minute after my Mail app restarted, with the shift key pressed down, the Activity window went crazy as it always does at startup. When it stopped, I let go of the shift key and my cpu usages quickly went down to 0.1% and it is now showing 0.0%.
I'm very please to have my quiet machine back!
I hope this helps Ed and the others who been following his thread.

Re: Mavericks: Mail uses 100% cpu

This solution, from Apple Support, worked for me. It is much simpler, quicker, and less technical than others posted here:
1. Quit your Mail app.
2. While holding down the Shift key, restart Mail. This will delete the "temp saved app states that might have accumulated, confusing the OS."

How to remove duplicate POP messages in Mail under Mavericks

Hello
I'm having some significant problems with Apple Mail, and despite having researched widely, I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Here is my tale of woe...
My set up is that I use Mail with 5 separate accounts, downloading all messages using POP. I keep ALL my mail (even the trash) so that I have a permanent record of all conversations, going back more than 10 years - this is about 250,000 emails in around 250 subfolders. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks on a 2010 MBP. I have no intention of moving to IMAP - I need to keep a local archive of all my mail.
A few months ago I was having problems with Mail being very slow to load and search emails. I decided to rebuild the mailboxes, but afterwards discovered that thousands of messages in the inbox of one of my accounts (and some of the sub-folders) had disappeared. Once I realised I tried to go back to a recent Time Machine back up, but, for whatever reason, that part of the back up hadn't worked properly and I was unable to recover the previous status. I left it while I decided what to do, and had time to deal with it...
The last 2 years worth of emails on that account were still archived on gmail, so last week I decided to try redownloading the whole lot (something like 72,000 messages), and then planned to use one of the scripts I was aware of to remove the duplicates to the trash, and then remove any duplicates in the trash forever. That ought to mean I at least had an archive of the last two years of missing messages, even if I had no record of which ones had been flagged or replied to, etc.
The downloading took about 24 hours to complete, and I now have almost 70,000 messages in the inbox of that account. I also rebuilt all the folders again, which doesn't seem to have resulted in any further loss of messages as far as I can tell. However, I hadn't figured on two things:
1. Mail 'hides' duplicate messages, meaning that all of the messages I've downloaded are showing as unread, and I can't differentiate the ones I already had in my Inbox, and the new downloads. When I click on those apparently unread messages I can see if they have been replied to or forwarded, etc, but there's no obvious way for me to remove the ones I have already dealt with to the trash, without going through them all manually, which is clearly impossible.
2. The scripts I'd found for removing duplicates don't work. Andreas Amann's Remove Duplicates script doesn't work under Mavericks, and he has abandoned the project. I've also tried the remove-duplicate-messages.scpt made by Jolly Roger (http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/), and while it *sometimes* works on individual subfolders on my Mac (but as far as I can tell removes the duplicate in that folder, rather than the newly downloaded version), mostly it doesn't work at all - it creates a 'Remove Duplicate Messages' folder on my desktop, a log inside it and a folder for removed messages, but nothing appears in the duplicates folder.
So, I'm left in a position where I have 70,000 apparently unread messages in my Inbox, a massively bloated Mail library (which has pretty much doubled in size, because of the 'hidden' messages), a slow and unresponsive Mail program. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some corrupted email somewhere, which probably caused the original email haemorrhage, and may still be causing the inability to remove duplicates. Mail is so slow as to be almost unuseable.
I figure I have a number of options:
1. I could live with the situation and just archive most of the Mail in my inbox, with the side effect that there will be a bunch of messages I have never replied to that are missed.
2. I could abandon the last week's efforts and revert to the version of Mail I was using a week ago, and then redownload the recent emails from my various accounts. That would still leave me without those thousands of emails I lost on my local machine.
3. I could find another way to deal with this. Can I get the remove duplicates script working? Should I revert to the version of Mail from a week ago, download ALL the messages again, but do it in a way that allows me to find the duplicates and remove them? Should I move to another email program altogether (which would presumably be massively disruptive to my work!)
Anyway, apologies for the essay length of this request, and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!

hi Eric
thanks for the tip, but I don't think that solves my problem, which is that Mail apparently hides the duplicates, so they're still there, you just can't differentiate or remove them. I actually *need* the duplicates there so I know I've got everything, but then I need to be able to move the ones I know I've dealt with from my inbox to an archive/trash, and/or remove them completely so Mail isn't totally bloated

Slow Mail and more

Hi
In the last two days it takes about 1 min to send an email from mail via our server. Prior it was almost instant. If I go to the xserve and open server admin, it takes about 2 min to show the information. Everything else on the server runs at normal speed (8 core xeon). If I open workgroup manager, it also takes about 2 min before it shows the information. Everything works, it is just super slow
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Tony

Have you tried things like
1) Reboot and see if the condition continues.
2) Start up Activity Monitor and see what is performance stats are, look for runaway processes, etc
3) Start up Top in a terminal window - hit o to sort and type cpu for the response.
