Catalina Mail super slow when composing new emails?
More people experience slow emails on Catalina?
Running a MacPro with 64 Gb
RAM and its slow like fek. Especially when typing emails feels very laggy.
Running latest version 10.15.2
and I have the check spell why you type
is off. Got 8 mailboxes of which one is a Office 360
. Under settings iCloud
, I switched off mail (FWIW). Plenty of diskspace (> 1.4 TB free).
I also tried a reboot and PRAM reset.
Anybody got a clue?
- Open up a Finder app session

Go > Go To Folder

- Next, in Finder app, press down the Option key and click on Go at the top of the menu
- Type in
~/Library/Containers

andcom.apple.MailServiceAgent
out to your desktop -
Similarly, remove the envelope files from
~/Library/Mail/MailData

Empty your Trash and Restart your Mac
If your Mail works without hiccups, you can move the files from your desktop into Trash ( file from step 8 above).
