Apple must be preparing an update to the iPad, things start to feel slow and/or crashy a few months before a new shiny one comes out :) He can jump through the usual hoops - It may help to clear out any old mail he has on the server if it can be archived to a machine instead. Make sure he has an active wifi or 3G connection before hitting send, its possible there is some connection negotiation that is happening in the background. Do speed tests to make sure the connection isn't the reason.

The only thing I found was, if on travels and using 3G at the time, switch off WIFI. Otherwise It tries by default to connect using WIFI and often struggles with BTopenzone and other dubious public wifi connections while you wait, and wait jack
4th Feb, 2012[MMUG] slow mail
A friend of mine was thrilled with the speed at which his emails arrived on his new iPad. 12 months later he tells me `The current iPad email scene is that emails take about 4 minutes between clicking 'send' and hearing the rushing sound. Also if I receive an ordinary attachment there's a similar time gap between the arrival of the email and it's attachment. A few months back every send and receive was instant.'

See … [link] There are some errors that are benign, so search the Apple support site for the error message. Just remove any info that is specific to your machine & the search will find matches, eg remove the "they are -rw-r--r-- " from the error string.

3rd Feb, 2012Permissions repair
Hi Everyone I'm having a few niggles with my MacPro and when I try and fix things via permissions the list doesn't get any smaller. It says problems are fixed but when I run repair again the list is the same. I've tried repairing from an external drive with no luck. Can anyone recommend any third party software which might help.

Have you booted the Mac from another drive(e.g. Installer DVD, backup clone) and run Disk Repair on your startup drive? You can verify but not repair permissions on the startup drive. I notice you've attached a 'verify permissions' report. As noted in a recent thread here,the free Onyx does some useful maintenance. Flushing all the caches using that might help.
