Got a new M3 MBA 16/512 last week…my first new Mac laptop. I was rocking a hand-me-down 2008 unibody MB previously.

I started from scratch didn't use migration assistant.

One snag I ran into was loading an Exchange email account that's using about 8GB of its allowed storage. It paused loading of the emails when it was on battery power. Mail wouldn't let me move or delete emails. I left it on power overnight and the issue did NOT clear up.

What ended up working was deleting the email account, emptying the ~/Library/Mail/V10 folder, connecting to power, adding the email account and then leaving it overnight.

Just thought I'd post here in case anyone ever has a similar issue.

MBA is on Sonoma.
