Windows 10 downloading attachments slowly

So update your Outlook to the latest versions to get rid of slow email attachment opening problem. Anti-virus program or fire walls may scan emails and cause issues while opening attachments.

You can solve this issue by running Outlook in safe mode. This can be done by running outlook. If you still face delay while opening Outlook attachments, it is better to try an efficient third-party application which can extract attachments from Outlook emails.

Kernel for Attachment Management is one such a tool. It can extract attachment from any version of Outlook without making any modifications to its emails. It also keeps a log file to maintain the complete record of attachment management. It can even compress the size of attachment to save the disk space. I tried the manual process which is given above, but I am still unable to fix it. What to do now? If manual process fails to fix your issues, then I would like to recommend you this Outlook Attachment Management utility.

Or something else? It's got a nice user interface. I have 3 Gmail accounts and one Time Warner Cable account. All IMAP based. Any other mail client I've used, including on my mobile phone syncs up in seconds.

I'll probably go back to using Thunderbird which syncs quickly unless there's a solution to the performance issue. I use hotmail, but somehow it says sent from windows 10 mail and I suddenly cannot open photos sent to me I just switched to the new mail app mostly because i want calendar, contacts and email shared across multiple computers and devices. Calendar and contacts seems to be shared fine but I have a cableone. My new mail downloads fine but older mail and none of my folders in outside accounts show up.

I have played with the sync settings It happens both in Gmail normal emails as well as gmail app mails. I do not know why, but ever since thats when I started downloading again I have upgraded from windows 8.

I remember updating my Battlefield 4 and the speed is good. I have been using Windows Live Mail for years and have 3 email accounts synced in it. After some recent changes to my PC, the program is suddenly very slow to change between email folders. What I mean specifically is if I click on one inbox, and then click on my deleted folder, there is literally a 5 second delay before the view is switched to the new folder.

This has never happened before, it normally take mere milliseconds to change between my email folders. Switching between any folders at all, even if they are empty, takes 5 seconds!! As for the changes made to my pc, I recently was screwing around with my drive partitions and made a really stupid mistake.

I accidentally created a new volume which took up my whole secondary HDD not my OS drive, but where my emails are stored. To check and fix the sync settings, open the Mail app and select the Gears icon on the bottom left corner. In the Settings ribbon select Manage accounts. Now select the entry for the email account with which you are having issues. This should open a new mini window. It should fix your issues. While this article is about a specific error, the above-mentioned steps should help you fix any other sync related errors that you might encounter in the future.

We do hope the tutorial was helpful. I would suggest you to temporarily disable the antivirus security software program installed on your computer and check if that helps. Disclaimer: Antivirus software helps protecting your computer against viruses and other security threats.

First two methods didn't help, but I did manage to download attachments after I shut down Windows Defender. I'm in the same boat - attachments download immediately with Windows Defender disabled, but instead after re-enabling it they again take anywhere from minutes.

On a brand new laptop with a fresh install of Windows I've been trawling the forums for answers to these problems and others and what is apparent is that the help supplied by Microsoft support engineers is lazy and predictable. People are in these forums after they have tried trouble shooters etc.

It is unlikely that we have the same corrupted files and that the corrupted files yield the same results unless deliberately corrupted. I am having the same issue. Brand new computer, set up my Yahoo mail successfully. Now I cannot open attachments in e-mail. So far I have only tried photos, which are.
