![]() Still getting spinning beachballs, but it may be more responsive. In Terminl, paste this command and hit return: /usr/bin/sqlite3 "$HOME/Library/Mail/V4/MailData/Envelope Index" vacuum.Makes me feel like I’m running Windoze or something, that is, having to crap like this that ought never need to be done by any end user. The vacuum command will rebuild the email database, not the mailboxes (see below). Don't know if this solution works in Sierra, but you should test it. It doesn't become OS9-snappy, but at least I don't have to wait 10 or 30 seconds for a message to appear. Mail does seem to become laggy on its own after a certain time, and until now rebuilding the Mail index has always helped. The bad news is there might not be any rock solid email clients to switch to, see comments below.Īpple Mail in macOS Sierra: frequent rainbow beachballs while pegging a CPU core Possible improvement, suggestion by Arne E The good news (should I have to switch), that Spam Sieve (which I consider essential) supports many mail clients. The sheer wanton incompetence necessary to code, let alone ship this excrement to customers is mind boggling. Never before has Apple broken Apple Mail this badly It looks like I am going to have to abandon Apple Mail. ![]() This is not a one-off issue, but a constant problem. Searches and/or examining my Sent mailbox can take up to 30 seconds to respond. Just about everything in macOS Apple Mail involving selection or search or delete or so on has multi-second delays and pins a full CPU core at 100% during that time. Perhaps it works fine with iCloud or diddling around with a few dozen messages, but it is too slow to be usable everything I do is subject to multi-second delays. Repeatable, even after quitting and restarting mail.Īpple Mail is a nearly unusable disaster in macOS Sierra aka clusterf**k.
