Description
Expected behavior
After logging in to Next Cloud and opening Mail, some indication that it is still loading new messages from the server should be given, so that it is possible to tell the different between "no new mail" and "still loading new mail".
Actual behavior
On opening mail, there is no indication it is doing anything. Maybe you have new mail, maybe you don't. Who knows?
This is aggravated somewhat by it seeming to take a long time to check for new mail in the first place, but that's probably a separate bug.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Mail app: open Mail and observe the fetch for new messages. Trace the existing loading behavior in the frontend; done means a visible indication distinguishes an in-progress fetch from having no new mail.
