If your hard disk is getting full, that may well be the problem. My old MacBook Air went nuts when I filled its little 64GB drive. 16GB seems like a good margin, but is it possible you're filling that up with temporary files? Is iCloud syncing more data than you realize?

I'm on the High Sierra betas, but I have been since last summer and I have yet to have serious mail or Safari problems. -- Alex Hall > On Jan 4, 2018, at 16:26, Christine Grassman <cgrassman1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It seems each week a new irritation is popping up.
