    Problem

     Apple Mail is very slow in it’s response. Message lists take ages to update and the app itself seems to pause

    for 15-20 seconds.

    Cause

    The SQL database that Mail uses to catalog your email addresses needs a bit of housekeeping now and again,

    you really need to have a tidy up!

    Solution

    First quit Mail – then:

    For OSX Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8) you need to do the following:

    1. Open the Terminal App – You can find this by using spotlight and typing terminal.

    2. Copy and paste this command into the command line of Terminal:

    sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope\ Index vacuum;

    For Snow Leopard (10.6) you need to do the following:

    1. Open the Terminal App – You can find this by using spotlight and typing terminal.2. Copy and paste this command into the command line of Terminal:

    /usr/bin/sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;

    You should now find that Mail runs much faster.

    good tip; I should note that the terminal command did not occur instantly – it took a few minutes

    before the vacuum finished and the prompt returned.

    Wow! I don’t know much about how computers run and I was worried my macbook pro was getting

    too old (I guess a good excuse to buy a new one, but as a poor grad student that would have been

    painful to my wallet), but this fixed everything! Thanks

    OMG. Relief. And instructions a non-techie could totally do. Worked instantly with my Lion as soon

    as I did a force quit on mail.

    Perfect – problem solved

    Works perfectly! Very Nice. Worked on my snow leopard.

    Often scared to try these things I find online but I have to say THIS WORKS.

    I have a new MacBook Air and I thought there was something wrong with it.

    Thank you!

    I have Mountain Lion, and before trying this it took sometimes 30 seconds or more for Mail to open.

     After running this command, everything now works very fast. Great solution!

    excellent ! Thanks a lot, it’s changing my life

    I was having the same problem and the fix worked for me also!! thanks so much!

    Great fix – thanks.

    The fix works! ………. excellent

    Worked for me too; thanks!

    Sweet job, thank you!

    Works perfectly! Thx

    Thanks so much. I was so frustrated with my computer until I found this.

    Instant fix! Many thanks

     Amazing, stumbled on this site and have had two separate major problems resolved in a flash.Been through a few others as in a nightmare…

    Thanks!! This is absolutely awesome. You have relieved me of a great worry. Mail is one of the

    most frequent apps I use and it was extremely distracting to have it slow and frozen.

     Amazing–Tank you!

    Bless you!

    Thank you! sure made a difference

    Fixed Thank you

    Worked perfectly! Thanks!

     Awesome fix!

    Fixed it totally thank you

    Wow . Was a bit worried before trying…. It worked so well . Thanks a lot

    Yep. A perfect fix. Mail was taking 20-30 seconds to display a message from my “unread” smart

    mailbox (which usually has about 20 messages in it) . Now, no delay.

    Thanks!

    What would I do without stuff like this on the web? Go Crazy Thanks

    Thanks! Worked perfectly.

    Nice fix, worked like a charm! Thanks!

    Thank you so very much this worked beautifully

    Many thanks!

    Loving your work!

    This has been bugging me for a while, will be using again.

    This worked great! Thanks!

     Awesome. It just worked!

    Thanks! life saver!

    OMG you saved my comp from a drowning (by me)!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Bookmarking this page!

    WOW! Awesome. Worked great!

    Is there a command like that would speed up my entire mac !?!

    Thank you. My message window was taking for eeeeeeever to load, especially when there were

    attachments. Seems much better.

    Immediate relief from a plaguing problem. My question is “Why didn’t Apple make it easy to

    diagnose and remedy the problem”. Thank you for making the explanation and the “clean up”

    available to all the frustrated Mail users.

    Follow-up! Worked fine for a very short time. The problem returned and the “cleanup fix”

    does not stop the slow response time that I am experiencing with Mail. After the second

    “pasting” to terminal, I checked the activity monitor and Mail is using 95% of CPU. Something

    else is going on other than the SQL Database needing “housecleaning”.

    Does anyone notice only positive comments in the review section. The next day I added a

    follow-up to my comment that stated the fix only worked for a short time and I still had the

    original problem with Mail. This comment was not displayed which leaves me wondering why

    the moderator would prevent it. It was not intended to be negative, but it was an attempt to

    seek further help for the problem.

    Hi Ed,

    This is not an example of selective comments being approved. If a comment requires

    a more technical response it’s passed to support so they can find a fix for the problem.

    It’s not approved so it sits in a (shorter) pending list and doesn’t get lost in the

    hundreds of other comments.

    Thanks Adam,

    Shaffin

    Thanks! Worked like a charm!

    While this seems to work for all.. I have the problem that it says

    Unable to open database “~/Library/Mail/Envelope\”: unable to open database file

    What can I do about it – or is this normal? Thanks a lot

    This is a vital tool in the toolbox…. Thank you!

    thank you it worked very well

    Worked for me! Thanks

    I had the same problem and I just quit mail right click and quit and then when it was opened back

    up all was good? Maybe it doesn’t like being open all the time……….

    hi I am getting a terminal error that says

    -sqlite3: Error: too many options: “vacuum;”

    Can you help?

    Thanks!

    Mary Anne

    This worked BEAUTIFULLY!!!! Thank you so much!

    excelent!!!!

    Worked great. Thx!

    On Mac OSXv10.7.5 I got error database is locked for the sqlite3

    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope\ Index vacuum; command but I tried the /usr/bin/sqlite3

    ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum; and that didn’t get any problems. I have relaunched mail

    but it still slow.

     Any advise?

    Its ok I didn’t quit mail first so ignore the last comment from me.

    Thanks.

    That totally worked! Thanks

    How come Apple support does not know about this?

    Well done

    For Snow Leopard (10.6) you need to do the following:

    Open the Terminal App – You can find this by using spotlight and typing terminal.

    Copy and paste this command into the command line of Terminal:

    /usr/bin/sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum

    I did that nothing happen so i click enter no change ? And i still have the same problem.

    My problem is the same in both of my computer, Mac book 10.6.8 and IMac 10.8.4, when i send a

    mail through my routeur, DLink Dir-815, in WiFI for my Mac Book and normal with my IMac it take

    about 1 to minutes to go. i call DLink and Apple nobody f ind a solution. Look like there is a conflit

    between Mail and the routeur. Please HELP !!!

    Thank you .JM

    fantastic!

    Works like a charm.. Thank you!

    Fabulous! Thank you. Read, tried and f ixed in less than 30 seconds!

    bless your effing heart for this.

    It’s been running like a snail on and off for some months now. Just tried this and it seems to be a lot

    better. I’ll keep monitoring it and see how it goes. Many thanks.

    thanks it fix well

    It worked a treat!

    It really is super.. and such an instant fix!

    I have to do this once a week. Why? Is there a bigger reason it keeps coming back?

    WOW, that was easy, and back to super quick

    Worked immediately! thank you

     Absolutely have to try this but some dumb questions: 1) when you say ‘quit’ mail – does this mean

    force quit or just close it? If force quit – when done with the copy and paste, do I need to do

    anything re macMail? 2) when I bring up ‘terminal’, see two lines of stuff there already – do I just

    paste at the end of the second line??

    Quit means ‘cmd + q’. We don’t want to force quit unless absolutely necessary. When you

    log into terminal the first line will tell you last login, the second is your username. Don’t worry

    about these, just paste and hit enter.

    Perfect solution – easy to follow, took seconds and made all the difference. Thank you!

    Wonderful !!!

    I have been working with mail pain for monthscrying , but not Hahaha

    Thank you !

    It looks like the 10.8.5 update may have fixed the problem: “fixes an issue that may prevent Mail

    from displaying messages”. So far it is working well.

    I have had this problem on two occasions in the last 9 months. I spent a total of around an hour with

     Apple technical support who fixed the problem with lots of cache deletion and other “magic”

    I did this myself in 30 seconds………….it worked, many thanks

    Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!

    Holy cow! This did the trick! Thanks a lot!

    I could kiss you! Thank you so much.

    yes it worked – thank you!!

    I have a problem. I pasted the wrong link to terminal line of command. I am using mountain lion, but

    i paste the snow leopard command.

    Now i have problem with my mail, it hangs, with spinning disc sign – red,blue, green.

    Can help me to restore.

     All the earlier download mail is gone, all folders are empty.

    Thank you.

    Wow, THANKS! Clearly if I cannot figure out mail on my own, a lot of other things are slowly

    building and getting hosed up. Any tips for doing maintenance such as this to prevent problems in

    the future?

    Great… your a genius.

    Wow! Thank you!

    HELP!!! i run the command on Mtn Lion and restart my Mac, but it won’t boot up!? it’s stuck on grey

    startup screen with Mac icon and spinner…

    Wow, Fantastic tip. Thank You Much.

    Yes, It worked.. Thanks a lot!

    OMG!!!!!! it actually worked!!!!!! thanks a million!! i was devastated my outgoing mail was taking

    about an hour to send!!

    I tried this and got the following error message in Terminal: ‘Unable to open database

    “/Users/salimsalam/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index”: unable to open database file’

     ANy suggestions? I am running Snow Leopard with Mail.4.6 and I am finding emails are taking ages

    to send, if they send at all, and that updating folders is very slow. The Mail icon in the dock shows

    there are unread messages even when I have opened all messages and deleted everything that

    needs deleting.

    Sorry, worked it out – I cut and paste the command line for the wrong version of OSX. Doh!

    OK, but it didn’t work!

    Did not work for me. My mailbox is huge though, is that the issue?

    Will this work on Mavericks as well? You only mention OSX Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8).

    Does anybody know if this will work on Mavericks?

    Hi….I need wait to reopen the mail….because noting happen….Im using Maverick

    So, after pasting that in the Terminal window, then what does one do? I closed Terminal and

    launched Mail again but nothing has changed.

     After you paste push the enter key.

    Worked like a charm! Thanks

    I’m wondering (before I try this) if it works the same way for Mavericks? Or will that mess things up?

    My slllllooooooowwwww Mail app is driving me bonkers!

    Thanks,

    ea/

    I’m with you…nobody has mentioned Mavericks…although I did ask originally. It’s painful that

    Mail is so slow now. Any attachments above 1Mb just won’t send…..massively frustrating.

     Apple online help weren’t able to amend anything either. I’ve tried the Terminal copy and

    paste solution with little or no effect. Apple seriously need to fix this.

     A

    Worked like magic, thanks!

    Mine has been running terrible slow since the upgrade to Mavericks. I had this problem once

    before, but can’t remember how to fix it. This prompt didn’t seem to fix my problem, maybe there is

    a different prompt for Mavericks?

    What do I use for the new operating system? I get “error database is locked” which I try the newest

    one listed above. Thanks!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! )))

     Amazing! thank you!

    Great! Thanks!

    WOW, it works wonderful, for Mail 7.0 under OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I was annoyed by Mail’s

    performance but now my faith in this excellent piece of software is restored.

    I tried your fix and this is the response I got:

    -sqlite3: Error: too many options: “vacuum;”

    Use -help for a list of options.

    [Process completed]

    Now what?

    Holy cow–it works!

     A thousand thanks!

    Wowsers – even with all the comments above, I wasn’t expecting it to work quite as well as that – t

    hank you so much, you have saved me hours of frustration!

    Thanks man, worked perfectly! Cheers.

    awesome. a neat trick that has reived my mac! thanks

    Hi all, does anybody know if this fix works with the 10.9.1 Mavericks OS?

    Thanks!

     Andy

    Immediate fix – amazing!

    Hello,

    Do you know if this fix will work in the new apple OS: Mavericks 10.9?

    Thanks very much, Matthew

    Brilliant! Worked on Mavericks too

    With the multitude of positive results including mine, I’m wondering why Apple doesn’t address

    vacuuming into the functionality of the OS

    Brilliant. Thank you so much

    sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope\ Index vacuum;

    This trick worked really well!!! THANK you!!!!!

    Wonderful still works in 2014

    Wish I had found this site a long time ago! Thanks for posting. Worked great!

    Hooray, thank you!! 2 days of suffering slow emails and multiple pauses until I found this fix.

    This worked great! Thanks
