Trying to use mail app is excruciatingly slow. mail beachballs almost all the time. it can take 3 to 4 minutes to just create a simple new email. regardless of whether the new email is encrypted or not.

Expected
mail app to work smoothly as ‘normal’ speed, instead it is very very slow with constant periods of no action as the beachball tries entertaining

    Hey Urs,

    could you temporarily disable GPGMail:

    • shut down mail.app
    • open finder
    • navigate to /Library/Mail/Bundles or ~/Library/Mail/Bundles and copy GPGMail.mailbundle to your desktop
    • now delete GPGMail.mailbundle from the original folder

    Restart mail and check in Mail.app > Preferences if you still see GPGMail. It should be gone.

    To re-enable mail, close Mail.app and move the bundle file back to the Bundles folder.

    Does removing GPGMail change anything for the better or worse?

    All the best,
    steve
