HT5361 i can't resize the new message window in mac mail.

I have OS X 10.9.1 and a MacBook Air.
When i open a new message window to type an email. It opens up as big as full screen or bigger. When I try to resize the window it won't allow me to make it any smaller.
Can anyone help?

Another quick follow-up. I have several email accounts set up within Mail and have the "Bcc" field set up so I automatically get a copy of my emails in the account from which I send the message. Setting the "Bcc" to one of my accounts triggers a jump to a large message viewer window  that won't resize. Then deleting that "Bcc" listing from the message doesn't fix the problem. I have to go back to a copy of the message I've sent to myself and again click the forward icon to get a window I can resize. This problem doesn't seem to occur if I paste the offending  account into the "To" field of he message, only the "Bcc' field. Go figure!

  • Can I move the new message box out of the way?

    Once I click "new message," I can't move it out of the way.  I often want to see if there was another person in the CC field that I need to copy.  But instead I have to either save the message as a draft or copy my message, close the window, look, then open it back up.  That's not cool.

    Having the same frustration, and I agree XarBiogeek's answer is helpful. (And BTW, your message drops to the background when you return to fullscreen, but it's not lost. Just exit fullscreen again.)
    I'm hoping this bug gets fixed (and, no flaming me please, it IS a bug). It's not just that the New Message window freezes in placement and size; it doesn't even let you save a draft so you can do other Mail tasks. In fullscreen you have to send or discard the new message before performing any other task. (NONE of Mail's menu options function when in fullscreen with a New Message window open.)
    I don't know about others here, but the only way I've been able to save a draft (before this thread helped me get out of fullscreen) was to Copy the contents of my in-progress message and discard the window, pasting my content back into a new window when done with my other Mail tasks.

  • Mail can't create a new message window ...?

    Hi,
    Mail.app on my machine has been having a strange issue the past few days. Twice now, it has lost the ability to create a new message editing window.
    If I click the new message button, or select "New Message" from the file menu, or click the "Reply" button on an existing message, etc. but no new message window ever appears. Quitting Mail.app and restarting, all the new message windows suddenly appear and everything is fine again ... until the next time.
    Anyone else ever had Mail.app lose the ability to create new message editing windows like this?
    Machine: Powerbook G4 15" (Oct 2005, 1.67GHz)
    OS: 10.5.8
    Mail: 3.6 (936)
    All software updates applied
    Thanks!

    That worked.  Now, why didn't I think of that!? 
    Thanks.

  • How can I add the new project? (for mac)

    I can't add the new project. Who can help to do this action?

    You have opened the Render Engine. Either you clicked on the wrong app or you have a fouled up text file in preferences. There are several threads on this forum that point to the solution.

  • Recurring New Message Window opens in Mail

    When I send a new message, another "New Message" window launches automatically. I can't figure out how to stop this from happening. There are currently no rules turned on and I'm only using on mailbox/account. Can anyone help me out?

    Have you tried creating a new User Account and setting up Mail to work there to see if the problem manifests there as well? That would be an indicator of where the problem lies.
    You can also try:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running
    2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and removing the com.apple.mail.plist file.
    3. Restart Mail and enter your account information again; Mail will automagically find your existing mailboxes. Then check to see if the problem remains.

  • No longer able to create a new message window in Apple Mail

    Please help! When I am in Apple Mail, I am no longer able to create a new message window (Command-N), and so cannot send any mail. This just started after the most recent OS update yesterday.

    Have you tried
    1. clicking on the New Message icon?
    2. File menu / New Message?
    I am trying to figure out if your problem is because Mail is not working, or whether it is a problem elsewhere, e.g. the keyboard.

  • I just bought an iPhone 4s and synched it yesterday.  I backed up the old phone (a 3GS), then restored all that to the 4S.  It generally worked well, except it truncated all SMS messages after October 20.  Can I get the new messages on the new phone?

    I just bought an iPhone 4s and synched it yesterday.  I backed up the old phone (a 3GS), then restored all those files to the 4S.  It generally worked well, except all SMS messages after October 20 were not there.  How do I get the newest messages from the old phone on the new phone?  (I wouldn't mind getting ALL the SMS messages...)
    Thanks for any help.

    Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • Anyway to resize the new spotlight window?

    I've stayed with Lion for a long time before getting the iMac and introduced to Yosemite. Mostly good improvement, but the new spotlight implement is killing it's efficiency big time!
    Old spotlight search was on the side, and use a long vertical space to display as much info as it can suggest. Now the new spotlight, is right in the middle of the screen and blocking everything. That's not the worse, it's so tiny in size, especially on the 27 iMac, that most searched files can't even be displayed by the full name. The preview isn't really useful when the preview window is that small?
    There isn't an obvious way to resize, or relocate the spotlight window. Is there a hack exist that can do this? Thanks!!

    At present Spotlight window cannot be enlarged.
    Sidebar and the preview window can be scrolled.

  • Problem with resizing the new Pages window

    I can't get my Pages Window any smaller, it says (if I use Window Tidy for example) that the window size was restricted.
    With the old Pages I used to have two Pages-windows open right next to each other, so I coul work on two documents at the same time. Now that i can't resize them anymore (only making them bigger is possible) they don't fit on the screen anymore.
    Anyone having the same problem, maybe even a solution?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Posting here is only talking to fellow users.
    Dump Pages 5 and go back to Pages '09, then give proper feedback on either Apple's website or the App Store.
    The App Store is probably the best place as it is public and a bad review has more impact than private entreaties to Apple.

  • Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

    I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • Resizing New Message window

    Unable to resize the New Message window on my new iMac.
    It worked on iMac G5 - 20" - Tiger
    It worked on my G4 PowerBook - Tiger
    It doesn't work on any iMac's at Apple Store - Coconut Point, FL
    5 support personal couldn't make it work - including Genius
    All said it can't be done
    Owners at Everything Mac in Cape Coral, FL thought it was a chip flaw in new iMac since it worked OK on their MacBook Pro
    What's happening here?
    iMac G5 24" - 2.33   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    But, why when I hit the small green button in the left hand side of the screen doesn't it make it small like it used to?
    What you are telling me is complicated for me to do.
    Moving folders in plists always gets me in troube.
    When I do an ISync, and it asks me the password to authenticate my computer, it never works, and says I enter the wrong password to many times.
    My Idisk is all messed up.
    The techie at the Apple store said he never say anything like it and couldn't fix it.
    I don't like to mess around with plist folders.
    I think that's what got me into the Idisk backup problem I have now.
    I don't want to mess up anything else.
    I will just live with and be upset like when the Dot Mac format changed and I hate it.
    I have to click on each message to delete them and it takes me all day.
    What a waste.
    If it were not for me keeping the same email name I have had for years, I think I would even get rid of .MAC

  • HT201320 When I access my email from the iPhone, hit "inbox", the new messages appear briefly, but then just evaporate.  I can't find them anywhere - not in inbox, not in junk, trash, saved - nowhere.  Can anyone tell me what is happening?

    When I access my email from the iPhone, new messages appear only briefly and then immediately disappear, before I do anything.  Only old messages that were already in my inbox are visible.  I can't find the new messages anywhere -- they have not moved to Saved, Junk, Trash, anything.  IT is like the iPhone just ate them.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    If you have a POP3 account this means that another "client" email program has retrieved the messages and deleted the messages from the server. You need to change the server settings on that device to leave the messages on the server.
    If you have an IMAP or MS Exchange account this means that someone read the messages on another device and either deleted them or moved them to another folder. Or there is an automated script that moved them to another folder.

  • How can I see my jabber buddy list as a default and not a new message window on my message app??

    I recently got my OS reinstalled and since then I had a multitude of issues.
    1) my texts kept showing up on my macbook pro so I took my cell number off the preferences on messages on macbook.  Can I still have people facetime me using my cell phone number?
    2) I do see my jabber buddy list when I click on the message center as a default.  I keep getting the new message window, can i set a default that when i click on it I see who is online vs. having to go to windows and select buddy list all the time??
    3) what is bonjour and why would i want to use it?

    Hi,
    Re 1)
    The settings for Messages > iMessages are separate from the FaceTime ones on both Mac and iOS devices.
    Re 2)
    If you have a Jabber (Google or Facebook Chats included) ID in Messages > Preferences > Accounts you can go to the Window Menu and display them.
    By default they are a combined list (Any AIM, Jabber, Yahoo or Bonjour account that is logged in)
    In the Preference > General section you can untick the item that gathers them into one list to show them separately.
    They also appear in the Window Menu separately with their open CMD + # keystrokes.
    Once you have them On show quit the app that way.
    It will "Remember" that they were on Show the next time you open the app.
    Re 3)
    Bonjour is a process on the Mac that "sees" all other Macs on your LAN and shows them in the Side bar of the Finder window as "automatic" Shares.
    In iChat and Messages it is an included account that cannot be deleted
    If Enabled it can have it's own Buddy List (see 2) )
    It shows the Names of the peopel singed in on the other Macs on your LAN that are also using iChat or Messages with the Bonjour Account Enabled.
    The name is taken from the My Card in the Address Book or Contacts app.
    The My Card should have the Mac User's details (you on Your computer when Logged in) and a head and Shoulders icon.
    I have three computers
    One is running iChat 4.x.x and on that machine (running Leopard) the My Card calls me Ralph G4 as it is running on G4 tower.
    My Laptop has me as Ralph MacBook Pro
    This iMac I am posting from has the My Card of Ralph Johns
    On this computer if I have iChat running on the other I see Ralph G4 and Ralph MacBook Pro as "Buddies"
    It can do everything that the AIM and Jabber logins can do.
    Text Chat, Audio Only Chat, Video Chat, Screen Sharing, File Transfers etc.
