Agreed, if you don’t need a particular feature in Sierra, like if you had a a
really compelling reason to need SIRI, I’m not finding it does anythign better,
and the few bugs like this are frustrating.
Not to get off on too much of a tangent, but I know there are Voiceover user in
the various beta programs, do these kinds of problems come up in Beta? I
understand the nature of non-disclosure in a beta program, but is there
anything that can be flagged the moment the OS is released? I’m thinking about
problems specific to voiceover users, things that a sighted user just wouldn't
experience, so it doesn't affect whether or not they should get the update. I'm
guessing that someone is going to come along and tell me that there is just
such a list, can you provide the link? I'm usually quite the early adopter, but
this experience is going to warrant a cooling off period during the next update
cycle.
By the way, my really compelling reason for upgrading to Sierra is the
universal clipboard. I do a lot of updating for my job on my iPhone calendar,
and the ability to type something in on my Mac and then paste it from there
onto my phone is great, much easier than trying to dictate on my phone using
Siri in the middle of a busy coffee shop.
One further pondering, do those of you who do a clean instal every time rather
than an update experience the same kinds of problems? Is there something to be
said for doing a clean install?

This has been the problem with Sierra with our macbook air. I have been
trying to tell folks not to upgrade until this works better but I have not
been successful because some one comes along and says mine is fine and I'm
sure that this is true but until it works for all of us its not ready for
prime time.
IMHO.

Hi,
I’m experiencing this, too, and my folders are not particularly large. In
addition, and more alarming, I have mails in my inbox which delete
themselves at sporadic intervals and, no, I don’t have any rules set.
Regards

Since upgrading to Sierra I’ve had a lot of busy notifications, especially
in Mail. In addition to hearing the busy alert, it’s really slow reacting
when I delete messages. Like if I hit delete, the whole message line is
read before the cursor moves to the next line of the in-box. That’s often
where Mail goes busy, when I delete one message and try to arrow down to
find a subsequent message.
Thoughts on optimal settings, what could be causing the slow down?
If it helps with the pondering, I’m using Mail with a Gmail account, and I
do have over 10,000 messages in my in box. I’ll try disableing my main
accountto see if I have the same problem with a less substantial message
list.
