mail loads just fine in preview on my macbook pro. if i go to look at an email it sometimes takes 10-15 seconds for the content to load in the reading pane. however if i hit "reply" the content appears immediately in the reply window.
no issues on phone, ipad.
gmail and mac mail accounts both effected.

Hello hunts73,
We would like to see how we can help you with your Mail loading slower than expected. Let's start by updating to the latest macOS 12.5.1, and then test to see if the issue persists. Follow the steps in this link to update the macOS: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support
Cheers!
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
Hey Sean, the long delay has cropped up again. Just took about 25 seconds for a message that was just text and a url to load in the reading pane, and that's pretty consistent across all messages. Any other ideas?
Thanks Sean. The update seems to be doing better, I'll re-open if this starts up again. I had been dealing with this through a few OS updates but this one seems to have done the trick.
Thanks!
