"Compose New Message" window appears behind main Mail window

Sometimes when I right click on the Mail icon and choose "Compose New Message", the new message window appears behind the main Mail viewer window. This is very annoying. Anyone else have this problem or how to solve it?
Thanks.

Click the small oval button in the upper right hand corner of the message window.

  • Why does my pop up window appear behind my browser window when I click my "upload a file" button in my applicaiton?

    This is a revenue impacting issue for out application. If customers are full screen they think our application's Upload your file" button is broken so we are being over run with support escalations for this issue.
    Is there a setting that we can advise them to change?

  • Active Window Appears Behind other Windows on W2K8 R2 RDS Server

    We are using a W2K8 R2 server running RDS and Xenapp 6.5. While using IE 10 and selecting the print option which calls the Crystal Reports Print Control 14 download control for IE 10 the print setup window appears behind all other windows. I have some
    other applications that place the active window behind other windows. I tried the reg fix but that didn't work.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    As you have commented the issue appears from single user, so try to delete the user profile cache and see whether it can resolves the issue. Also you can remove all the permission assigned to that users for a try.
    You can delete user roaming profile cache as follows. 
    To resolve this issue, add a REG_DWORD value named DeleteRoamingCache to the following registry key: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache 
    Set the value data to 1.
    After this restart the system and try to login on system and also try to login faulted users on other system to check the result.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • New Blank Email appears under main window

    Is it just me or does this happen to others as well:
    Click and Hold on the Mail icon in the Dock.
    In the pop-up menu select "Compose New Message"
    For me the new blank email window appears under the main window every time.

    Yes. I tried what you said in your first post before posting mine, and it works as expected on my computer, i.e. the New Message window appears on the front...
    Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.
    <hr>
    Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
    2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
    3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
    4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
    6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.

    From: new window opens behind existing window - how to modify?
    I had this problem happening in Outlook.
    If I tried to open an email, it would open behind the main Outlook window.
    The same happened if I opened a link in the email - it would open behind the mail.
    The fix that was suggested to me was so simple that I still don't believe it.
    Right click on the task bar and unlock the taskbar, then lock it again.
    Close down Outlook and re-start it.
    Problem solved! Just dont know how  or why.

  • Apple Mail locks up when composing new messages

    After 10.9.2, I am unable to send mail from my Apple Mail App! I can read, but creating a new message invokes the spinning rainbow icon of death (which stays around for hours if you let it -- I've verified this).
    Anybody have any ideas on how to fix or what the cause is?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under)

    Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under) every time TheBlaze.com is visited.
    ENVIRONMENT
    Win7 SP1
    Firefox 34.0 (Pop-up windows are blocked)
    DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
    Once the requested home page, from theBlaze.com server, is received by Firefox on your PC, your first mouse click will trigger the pop-under creation process. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but the ad window appears hidden behind the main browser window rather than superimposed in front of it. The ad window is located in a new copy of Firefox. Additional mouse clicks may produce cumulative pop-under ad window creations. So, you may end up with multiple pop-under ad windows, each in a new copy of Firefox. According to many marketing “genius” this method of presenting unsolicited ads is much less abrasive than pop-ups used to be, and now recommend the use of pop-unders.
    The HTML source file received from TheBlaze.com server contains (in clear) between line 158 and line 202 , the JavaScript code needed to generate the pop-under windows and also contain the URL of the advertiser.
    Line numbers may vary from user to user, but look in the source file and locate the beginning and the end of the script at:
    BEGIN ADSUPPLY →
    the script is located here (approx 44 lines of code)
    <!-- END ADSUPPLY →
    The fact that the advertiser URL is contained in the source file indicates that, this is a well organized advertizing business. In the examined case the advertiser was "gorgonkil.com".
    SOLUTIONS TO STOP POP-UNDERS
    This pop-under unsolicited ad plague can originate from any Web site, not only from TheBlaze.com. This is not hidden malware, but highly visible in the HTML page received from the unscrupulous Web site. Be aware that using the “block pop-up windows” parameter in Firefox > Tools > Options > Content > will not solve this problem.
    InternetExplorer 11 also falls victim of the pop-under unsolicited ads. SlimBrowser7 survives elegantly and no pop-under windows are opened.
    In the proposed 2 solutions, you will need to receive a first unsolicited ad, then take note of the advertiser URL and insert it in the Win7 Firewall or in the BlockSite Firefox extension.
    If the unscrupulous Web site sends a large number of new and different advertiser URLs during one browsing session, then you will need to find a more elegant solution to the problem.
    WIN7 Firewall
    The received ad normally contains the advertiser URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com).
    The Win7 firewall has the capability to block IP addresses.
    The fact that Win7 Firewall requires IP addresses be expressed in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 172.16.254.1) makes it less attractive. But, should you decide to use the dotted-decimal notation, it should work perfectly
    Block Site 1.1.8 Firefox extension
    Install Firefox extension “Block Site 1.1.8”. It is working very well for me.
    You need to go to Block Site “Options” and “add” the URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com) you want to block.
    Once enabled, the Block Site extension will display a small window for 3-4 seconds (lower right position) every time a pop-under creation is attempted by any unscrupulous offender and the pop-under will not be created.
    My own “Options” file now contains more then 18 advertiser URLs (over 3-4 months).
    I have stopped visiting TheBlaze.com Web site as of yesterday.
    WEB SITE REPUTATION & REVIEW SERVICE
    You may obtain a reputation rating for many Web sites by installing a Fiirefox extension: Web of Trust - WOT
    WOT adds intuitive traffic light-style icons next to search results and URLs to help you make informed decisions about whether to visit a site or not.
    A review has been submitted to WOT (12-19-2014) pertaining to TheBlaze.com. The rating is in bright red “I don't trust” (Ads/Pop-ups).

  • Cannot return to message list while in a message without clicking on "compose new message icon" and then cancelling it.

    After updating to 8.1 from 8 i cannot return to my message list from inside a message without clicking on the "compose new message" icon and then canceling out of that.
    Also, where it used to say return, it now says "Edit" and the word "Message" on the top of the screens is scruched together.

  • Can't see main mail window???

    Ok so I upgraded to Lion and I can launch mail and I can create and send new messages but the main mail window will never show. So I can't actually see any messages or folders or anything. I can get connectivity doctor window to show and everything connects and shows fine. If I do cmd+0 to show message viewer that won't show.
    Any idea's on how I can get the main mail window to show up again?

    Hi Garrett,
    Thanks for your post. This helped me where Applecare could not.
    I had the same problem as you after migrating my system from Snow Leopard to Lion via a Timemachine back-up.
    I suspected that your solution could help me, but unfortunately in Lion there is no longer a visible ~/Library in the home folder.
    I noticed that there was a new and unexpected "folder" in the sidebar of the normal folder pain view. This object was a sprocket (like the one next to the inteligent folders in "Mail"). I klicked on it and got a search result of items from my missing "Mail" file structure as if I had used Spotlight to search for them. By going a few levels up the file path I was in the invisable ~/Library folder with the /Mail folder visible. I trashed the entire /V2 folder (which was a mistake because all of my old emails are now gone) and restarted "Mail". "Mail" is now working as expected.
    Thanks.
    I hope that this may help enyone having this problem with a migration to Lion

  • Delete button in main Mail window doesn't seem to work with update to 10.5.

    Hi, I just upgraded to OSX 10.5.8 and now the delete button in the main mail window does not seem to be working. The other buttons work, and if you hit the delete key that works. The delete button at the top of a message window also seems to continue to work. This is strange behavior. I will try to reboot again to see if that helps.

    I am seeing the same issue. Very annoying. Tried resetting the toolbar too - did not work. Any help Apple?

  • The 'reply' and 'new message' bar has disappeared from mail on my iPad since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from OSX10.5 to 10.6. How do I get it back?

    The 'reply' and 'new message' bar has disappeared from mail on my iPad since I upgraded my Macbook Pro from OSX 10.5 to 10.6. How can I get it back?

    Updating your Mac's OS X version won't have affected how the Mail app (I assume that it's the Mail app that you are using, not Safari) shows on your iPad. If you don't have the menu bar showing in the Mail app then try closing the Mail app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it shows when you re-open it : iOS: Force an app to close
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Main Mail window missing

    I can not recall having done any upgrdes or installs at the time of this occurence. When launching mail the main mail window of the app. does not apear. It is listed in the menu's but will not show up when selected. I backed up my messages and deleted all the mail and still nothing. Next I reinstalled the Mail app. package, nothing. Finally I did an arcive and install of 10.4, nothing. I have the same accounts on my PBG4 and there is nothing wrong with it, there were 2000 emails in the combined 3 accounts and I have gottent that down to 400 but nothing has changed. Any thoughts or directions?

    The position and size of the window is stored in the preferences file. If there is something wrong with the values stored there, that would explain the problem you’re experiencing. Proceed as follows:
    1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    3. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    5. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    You may also need to re-install or re-enable any Mail plug-ins you have installed for Mail to recognize them.
    6. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    7. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Composing new messages using smtp alias doesn't return results

    Greetings,
    Our setup: New Exchange 2013 server with an existing 2007 server.  Looking to move mailboxes to 2013.  When testing with iOS and Android devices we found when composing new messages and using an smtp alias and just typing each users initials (which
    is a smtp alias of each user plus their regular email address)  no results are coming up when connected to Exchange 2013 mailbox on 2013 CAS server.  It works when using Exchange 2007 CAS.
    If we type the user's first name it comes up with the user and smtp address.  However, just typing the 3 letter alias - nothing comes up and we just get "no matches" returned in the messaging app.
    I've checked everything I can think of.  Ideas or suggestions?
    Many thanks!

    I don't understand what you are saying.
    If you uncheck the "Create a sent item to track
    information", the sent item is not created. No
    status tracking will take place.
    I don't understand what you are looking for.
    If the above option is not set, only the received
    items are created.

  • Selecting account when composing new message

    With Mail, is it possible to automatically select the "from" address based upon entering a "to" address? I have a bad habit of composing a new message and sending it without thinking about which account I'm actually sending it from. What I'd like to do is be able to, for instance, enter my friend's name when I'm composing a new message, and based on that, Mail would automatically switch the sending account to my personal email account. When emailing my boss, automatically use my work account, etc.

    Hi jp3,
    Unfortunately Mail does not support what you're looking for. If you respond to an email it'll automatically select the appropriate account but not on the creation of a new message. The only "setting" for that is in "composing" where you can choose a default address (or) the account of the selected mailbox. If you go the second option, just make sure you're viewing the appropriate Inbox.

  • Always use the default account when composing new messages box missing in Outlook 2010 after updating the product key.

    I have 2 accounts in outlook 2010. 1 is for me and the other I have delegate access to. When I am in the delegates email and want to reply it automatically uses the account the email is in. So if I am in my email, the from is me but if I am in the delegates
    email and hit reply the from is them. Now this is not working and I can't figure out how to get it to work. The only thing that changes is that office asked me to activate recently, which is weird since I have had this same computer with the same version of
    office for almost a year now. I did a ton of searching and came across an option on the internet: "Always use the deafult account when composing new messages" but this option is not there on my computer. I checked another computer I have with Office
    2010 also and the option is available so it must be something to do with the office activation because I haven't done it on this computer yet. PLEASE HELP!!!
