Cannot click directly on a new email in Mail without first clicking on title bar.

I am on Mountain Lion. I frequently have Mail.app open on a second screen. When a new mail arrives I want to click on the email to read it. However, since ML, I first have to click on the frame or title of the Mail.app to bring the focus to Mail.app. I cannot directly click on anything inside the mail.app window. This is very annoying. Anybody else can reproduce this behaviour?

I hve found similar issues resolved by clearing preferences...  see

    How can i get notification of new emails in Mail without having the application open?

    Leave Mail running, but close its window (click red dot or ⌘W).
    Right-click the Mail icon and use "Options" to enable "Open at Login".  In the "Login Items" tab of "Users & Groups" system preference, check the "Hide" box next to Mail so it doesn't open a window when starting.

    No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

  • Cannot set where to save new email

    I am not able to set to which folder to receive new email. Support sayes"
    Menu location: Tools | Account Settings | <account name> | Server Settings | Advanced
    First, Account Settings is NOT under Tools, but under Options. Second, there is no Advanced under Server Settings.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    RE: where is Account Settings?
    As you have discovered, more recent versions of Thunderbird were changed by the developers into a non intuiitive product by hiding all the toolbars.
    I consider this a rather naive approach to an assumption that everyone understands this.
    Help usually refers to the toolbars as there is considerably more tools available within them.
    So, to make life easier, I recommend that you enable the toolbars.
    '''How to enable Toolbars:'''
    click on 3bar menu icon > Options and enable the toolbars.
    see image below.
    '''Various methods to access 'Account settings'.'''
    Using toolbars:
    Tools > Account Settings
    Using 3 bar menu icon:
    3bar menu icon > Options > Account Settings
    Right click on account name in folder Pane and select 'Settings'
    Instead of actually changing where the emails are downloaded to, you could first try 'Unified View'
    View > Folders > Unified
    This shows a single Inbox with all mail from all accounts in one folder.
    It will also show sub Inboxes so that you can also locate the email in a specific account Inbox folder.
    If you have an IMAP mail account, this is the method to use.
    '''Global Inbox Local Folders'''
    If you have a POP mail account you can choose to either receive mail into the accounts own Inbox or to set it up as a Global Inbox and use Local Folders Inbox instead.
    Do you want all incoming mail to be directed to Local Folders Inbox?
    If yes.
    Do you use a POP mail account?
    If yes.
    Have you already received emails into that mail account?
    If yes,
    Go Offline to stop further download of emails.
    Move all emails from the Pop mail accounts fodlers into the various Folders under Local Folders.
    "Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings" for the pop mail account
    click on the "Advanced" button - located under Message Storage area.
    see image below. - recent version show a change in wording since I captured the image.
    Select: Inbox for different account choose 'Global Inbox(Local folders)
    select 'Include this server when getting new mail'
    click on OK
    Click on OK to save changes to Account Settings.
    Close Thunderbird.
    Wait a short while for processes to complete and then Open thunderbird.
    You must close and restart before downloading mail into any account whose Inbox/Global Inbox setting you've changed.
    This will remove the Pop mail account from the list.
    New mail will be downloaded to the Local Fodlers Inbox.

  • Cannot get Siri to read new email

    How do you get Siri to read new emails, or an old email?  I have tried both and it just says "sorry, I cannot read your email" or something similar.

    It works for me on 6.1.3.

  • Can't put photos/images in email (new email) in Mail

    Okay, this is weird. I can no longer drop a .jpg image (or any other) into a new email message. (This is with my prefs set to compose in Rich Text Format, yes. And this is 10.5.2.)
    If I try to drag it from the Photo Browser into a message, sometimes it appears as if it's going into the email message, but it does not appear in the body area. Sometimes it bounces back to the Photo Browser, as if the email message is an object that cannot receive a dropped image file. And if I try to drag an image file from Finder into the body of the message, I can get either behavior again.
    Either way, I can't put an image/photo/graphic file into an email message.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior and figured out a fix for it?

    An addendum...
    Just to make it really weird, I can drag image files from the Photo Browser to the Mail icon in the Dock and make a new email, and then I can see the image in the mail message. And once I have that e-mail message created by dragging an image the Dock icon, I can drag other images/files from the Photo Browser into the same new message and see them.

  • When typing a new email in Mail for Yosemite, letters on the screen often lag behind key presses.

    Since I installed Yosemite, I have experienced a serious lag in typing new emails. Letters appearing on screen can lag significantly behind keypresses. The only fix I've so far tried was to repair permissions. No effect.
    I have a mid-2011 27" iMac, 3.4 GHz i7 with 8 GB RAM. 1.16 TB free disk space. I'm using a wired Apple keyboard.
    The problem does not occur in Pages or Text Edit or anywhere else that I've noticed (including this Safari window now). I'm running a little Free Memory app in the menu bar which tells me I have around 2.5 to 3 GB of memory free as I type in Mail.
    Any suggestions?

    Same thing here. Working on a Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Core i7 with SSD and 8Gb Ram.
    Typing goes ok for the first few lines but after about six or seven lines it starts to lag seriously. I'm a pretty fast typer and mail often lags 6 or 7 characters behind which is infuriating. I didn't notice it before so I think it may have to do with the 10.10.1. update. Restarting doesn't help. 
    Man, I hope there will be a fix soon or I will have to downgrade to Mavericks and I'm not looking forward to all the extra work...

  • Cannot read or create any new Notes in Mail

    As per previous post, my 4 out of 6 notes from my iPhone synced with Mail some months ago (since 3.1 OS uprade).
    BUT, I've never been able to open those Notes, or even create new Notes in Mail on my Mac. To Do's seem to be ok, but not Notes.
    Managed to setup MobileMe Mail on Mail on my Mac now too (refused all yesterday). I'm also bringing in Hotmail there too.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
    com.apple.mail.plist
    *Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings to be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.
    And be sure to verify/repair permissions using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities folder)

  • Double-click a title bar to won't open or hide in Mountain Lion

  • Option to collapse windows by double-click to title bar only, NOT minimize into dock?

    A double-click to a window's title bar did, in former incanations of the Mac system, result in a collapse of the window to title bar only. Currently, it seems that this option is gone? All I find results in "minimize to the dock".
    Is there a hidden option?
    Or is there third-party software that adds back this feature?

    I was a bit "perplex" about the sensitivity that the term "iOSification" has caused, so I needed a little time to think about that.
    From my point of view, the removal of the "collapse a window to the title bar only" function is a feature that fits very well to the wide screen format that we have today. It IS something that was and is (would be) useful on a 27'' screen, and I think it is reasonable to blame the "iOSification" (that is, the attempt to unify the user interface on very small and "real" screens) for the removal of this feature.
    I am using Macs since the IIfx (with System 6). It might be that the term "iOSification" fits better to other "back the the Mac" changes to MacOS, but it describes a general attitude that I do start hating.

  • My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot open a website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.

    My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot login to my e mail website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.

    I simply reinstalled fire fox 3.6.19 and I can login no problem. Seems like it could be a compatability problem between 5.0 and windows 7. One other thing that happened often was lag while playing mmorpg games. Not sure if this fixed it or not, but I can update this thread when i find out.
    Thank you to who ever provided the link to the older fire fox downloads page in another question thread.

  • HT1918 Apple has an old email address and my new email address. The first one which is charter cannot be deleted on the game center or icloud.  I want only my new att email address to be my Apple ID.  Why does Apple not correct all the areas with old emai

    How do I get rid of my old charter email address on the game center app and icloud.  It is messing things up when I go to sign in with my new Apple ID using Att? I am continually asked to update my password!!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Cannot view new emails via mail

    I Have an iPad 4. Until the 16/11/14 I had no problems. Now, my mail icon indicates x number of new messages, but when I open the app nothing downloads. It says downloading 1 of 66, for example, then says checking for email then says last updated and is done. I have already tried removing and reinstalling the account.
