Question

Mail keeps wanting to fetch new emails, freezes all activiti

Apr 19, 2015 10:54AM PDT

I have a Macbook Pro 10.9.5, ever since updating to 10.9 I have had issues with my Gmail account and Mail. About 15 or so times a day I will not be able to send or receive emails. I go into Activity and it has either 'Gmail Fetching new email 1 of xxxx (ATM it's 156,407) or "Gmail Synchronizing 'All Mail - Gmail' 1 of xxxx".
I have tried to re-add the mail account but that made it worse. I have tried to google the issue and have not had any luck.
Any ideas on how to stop this or why it keeps happening?
Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, it does it every day. How slow it works it would take weeks to sync it all which I can't afford to stop my emails for that long.

Any idea on what could be wrong?
