I use mail on an iMac Monterey V12.7.4.
I have no anti virus, no VPN
My mail comes in but when I click the inbox the content will not show. It can take up to 10 mins to arrive.
I can go back into mail hours later after I have read all my mail, make a different selection to one displayed and 'no content'
My wife is in the office on a MacBook Air with same configuration as me and she has no problems
I have attached the latest Etre report

I'd remove surfShark files.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
Thanks BDAqua.
I was following my high memory in Activity monitor and found mdsync running at 1.05GB. After searching info I force quit it.
Now my email is popping up very quick.
I will watch this for a few days to see how it is going and get back to you
Good going, mdsync is Spotlight, mds (metadata server), is a macOS process responsible for synchronizing metadata (information about files and folders) between Spotlight and the file system. It runs regularly to update the metadata index and ensure it reflects any changes made to the files and folder on your Mac.
Didn't last long. Opened up mail this morning, saw two new messages, clicked your reply and it came up instantly. Clicked on the other and no message opened. Went back to yours and same thing no message.
I just created a new user, set up my mail account and everything worked as normal.
I haven't tried the safe mode test, should I do that next?
Safe Mode could help, certainly worth a try. but I think you'll have to reduce the number of startup items & possibly free up some more free space.
