[macvoiceover] Re: getting tired of Apple Mail getting sluggish and want ideas how to stop it!

I've used mail for over three years here as well, and have never had the 
sluggishness with it like Ray is describing.  What I do, is I usually have a 
second user account set up that I can log into to test to see if it's anything 
specific  in the particular user account that may be causing the sluggishness , 
or whatever the issue is i'm having.  You might want to do the same thing, to 
see if mail is sluggish in your test account.
