I use Apple's MAIL app on my MacBook Pro. When I click on Firefox or another app, it pops up like it always did. However, when I click on Mail, it can take up to five minutes to bring it up.

What is holding it back and how can I help it? Thank you for your expertise and Merry Christmas.

I would suggest downloading Onyx (the link is in my signature below) and running the Automation or Maintenance - depending on what version of OS X you are running. Make sure to check "Mail's Mailbox - rebuild the index" and you might even have it delete existing index. It won't hurt to run all the other items checked. It will fix a lot of stuff. I run it about once a month and it keeps my system tuned up. The app is a favorite here on the forum because it is good and does not damage your mac.

- How many email accounts do you have?

- What type(s) are they??? IMAP or POP??

- How full or how many emails do you have, especially in your "In" mailbox?

- Did the problem just start?

- When did you last completely shutdown then reboot your Mac or Bootup using Safe Boot Mode, login, and then Restart normally??

Those should do for a start.
