Snail Mail

[zephonic]

I’m always an OS generation (or two) behind on my devices, so I finally updated phone and iPad to 14. The most noticeable difference for me is that Mail is as slow as molasses now, screen redraws take seconds now, never used to be the case.
Anybody else notice this?

Hi! What kind of device are you using? How big is the mailbox you're trying to sync (maybe you're syncing several big ones at the same time)?

Slow mostly on my iPad (5th-gen), where it’s really annoying. But even on my iPhone 8 it doesn’t feel as snappy as iOS12.

Did you check for recent system/app updates? Other tips i came across:
- disable "app background refresh" (settings -> general -> background app refresh)
- turn on "reduce motion" (settings->accessibility->reduce motion)
- force quit the mail app (double-click the home button -> swipe up the mail app)
- restart the phone
You can also switch your mail app to show only unread messages
hope it helps)

After updating to iOS15 I have noticed my iPhone 11 Pro Max takes a long time to check for new mail and sync with my accounts. Before updating I would delete an email on my iMac and it would almost instantaneously disappear from my iPhone. Now it can take several minutes, and a few emails have not synced after deletion even after 5 minutes. Read/Unread status also does not sync for several minutes.

Thanks, but it is none of that, of course.
