in his case it was a great improvement since deleting the index meant that it wasn't checking all of his old Exchange "ghost" folders including public folders and they were not in the index anymore. Hope you are receiving mail again stay tuned for more Mac tips. It comes with a whole load of features and tools that improve how a Mac runs and can get your Mail app up and running again without stress or it taking very long. So when Mail checks the fodlers and content when loading it still keeps checking all those folders since their in its INdex and Mail folder. As we mentioned above, CleanMyMac X is a really useful Mac performance improvement app.
What the deletion of the Exchange server config did was to remove the reference to the folders in ~/Library/Mail. Here on an Exchange server some one with a new mail box (Enveloppe Index is not an issue and doesn't fix anything, no more than a rebuild does since its a new account with no mail and a new config aon a new Mac) can experience massive slow downs simply because of Public Folder synch and storage on the computer. The Public Folders section of Exchange servers can be massive and they automatically will Synch and downlaod to your Computer in Mail. He was connecting to Exchange which is a very important clue. One thing to note though for the original Hint poster. If you have problems with Mail.app's performance and you've been adding/deleting accounts, it might be worth the couple of minutes to re-generate that index. After it finished, I found that the file is now down to about 2MB, Mail.app runs like a breeze, and all of my messages are intact. Mail then went through its "importing messages" routine (re-creating that file). I thought "what the heck," closed Mail, moved that file to myDesktop, and restarted Mail. It urns out that deleting that account hadn't done much for the index of messages stored in a file named Envelope Index, which you'll find in your user's Library/Mail folder. It returned a huge number of messages that had been on shared folders on the NIH Exchange server. Just recently, I created a Smart Mailbox to search for all unread messages. If your Apple Mail doesnt seem to be searchable and/or has become so slow it seems to hang your Mac - or even displays incorrect email content, then its time you attacked the problem: its time. After leaving NIH, I deleted the Exchange server from my accounts, and Mail continued to run slowly. It doesnt seem to be a problem with Mac Mail itself as messages sent via other servers go immediately. Whenever I open up Mac Mail, the first emails I try to send via the btinternet server take more than 5 minutes to go, sometimes closer to 10. Hello, Wondering if anyone else has this problem. Mail was running slowly, but I didn't really notice so much it quickly became a way of life. Email very slow to send from Mac Mail Go to solution. I worked a summer internship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and connected to their Exchange servers with Mail.app during that time. If Mail.app is running slowly for you (time for searches, time for loading Smart Mailboxes, time between clicking on a mailbox and having its index displayed), you may have ghost messages from old accounts in your message index.
