Slow Mail loading
Since updating to 16.1, Mail is very slow in loading emails. I have tried changing privacy settings and deleted and reinstalled my email account. Still a problem.

Troubleshooting Lagging Mail on a Mac:
A. Try Safe Mode:
In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues
- Boot: in to Safe Mode: [Hold Down: shift key upon boot].
- Log in: as same user
- Wait: 30 seconds
- Restart; your Mac
- Log in: as same user
B. Single Out this User:
For troubleshooting purposes, create a new admin user, and then add the eMailaccount to it. See if it runs and faster. If so, it is a misconfiguration in your current user. If not, it is a an issue with the macOS. Remove the account prior to closing the newly-created user.
C. Use a New App Password:
Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix). For example, you'd go here for gmail: Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
