But now you’ve left me wondering how emails you actually have?

I have easily passed my highest number of for replies on this thread – sorry to read about your troubles, @beck – glad you sorted it – and thank you for the fine start to my weekend!

but this process has you rename the Mail folder and the mail-related preferences files so that Mail sets them up again and now it’s super zippy.

Thank for that! My mail had been taking 2-5 min to load. I had an extra culprit which was the GPG Suite Mail plugin. I’m realising that Mail plugins tend to slow the thing down.
