Mail window does not close anymore

When I press the red dot or type CMD-W, the mail window does not close anymore. It just stays open, everything else works as usual. Any ideas, how to close the window again?
TIA

Look at the bottom frame of the Mail window; it may display a small dot thingie in the middle of its bar, something like this -
If so, try clicking on that dot and dragging upward.
If that works, you should have both panes present again. You can adjust the size of the window as a whole by dragging the bottom-right corner (where the hash marks are).

  • Red (close) button becomes dark and windows does not close

    Sometimes when I click the red (close window) button, it becomes darker and the window does not close, and the app seems inactive. I have to click the title bar (sometimes many times, the lag time to ) and the windows can close, or it can come back with the red button "normal". Very annoying when I have to close many specific windows as it completely breaks the flow of activities.
    Mail seems to be a application where it happens often, but it happens also with safari, omnifocus...
    Any idea how to fix this?
    I use a trakpad/MBA mid 2011 OS X 10.9.4
    Thanks,

    The problem is the same with Commnd-V, of course.
    Here is how the button looks like,
    I noticed it happens mainly when one application is active and I try to close a window which is not active.

  • Download Window Does Not Close Upon Completion of Download

    I download a file, the Download Window opens, and asks where I want the file (I set that Tool-Option), but when it is done, the window does not close, even though the Option is set telling it to close when the download is complete
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Every time the anouncement of 10 year Thunderbird appears; when i read one mail: Thunderbird "does not work anymore"

    My thunderbirdbox contains 2 mailboxes; they appear together on the screen the same time.
    I have this "construction" for several years without problems.
    Now, with the 10year celebration of Tunderbird, when i open Thunderbird , every time there is the announcement + questioning if i can volunteer ( I whish I could....). The message covers a part of my second box....
    When i want to read one of my mails, thunderbird stocks and above in the screen the message appears Thunderbird does not work anymore. There is a menu what i want to do and i choose : close the program. Afterwards i open Thunderbird again and i can do everything i want to do.... Strange it not it?

    I've had the Mail app misbehave from time to time. Not so much lately though. But when Mail misbehaved I quit the mail app like I describe here. After that I reset my iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot. Finally try the Mail app again.

  • Report window does not close properly when using openDocument

    XI R2 InfoView
    Windows 2003 server
    IIS
    IE7
    We have been experimenting with the use of openDocument and have managed to achieve what we wanted but have one small problem.  When the document is retrieved it is opened in a new browser window.  When Close is selected from the drop-down Document menu the document is closed but the window shrinks to approx 8.5cm x 6 cm and remains open.
    A similar thing happens when we use the Preview button to view a document in the CMC, except in that case the document does not close and closing the browser window leaves a button on the Windows taskbar.  There doesn't appear to be a related window as it cannot be restored but you have to right click and select Close to get rid of it.
    Any ideas what is causing these problems and how we can get round them?

    Anne,
    There are some parameters in opendocument (for ex. sWindow) that can help control certain things, have you tried employing anything like that?  What I find frustrating is the behavior of opendocument based on whether you're running Infoview or WebI -- each product, using the same exact opendocument syntax yields different results.  Based on the sample code below, what I'm seeing with Infoview is the same browser instance is used for calling the child report, however, in WebI, a new browser instance is started and the child report is rendered in Infoview.  In my case, when running within WebI and getting a new browser instance in Infoview, and then using the "Document", "close" workflow, the second instance is exiting and I'm back to the previous browser.  Staying within Infoview entirely through the process, when closing the child report I get brought back to the folder list page.  Who's to know?

  • Workflow 2.6.4.0.0 configuration problem - Command window does not close

    I am trying to install Oracle Workflow 2.6.4.0.0. as part of Warehouse builder using the details mentioned in this link
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_owb/owb10gr2_gs/owb/lesson4/etl-mappings.htm
    From the Start menu click Programs > Oracle <Database HOME> > Configuration and Migration Tools >
    Workflow Configuration Assistant. The Assistant is started.
    Accept the default for Install Option
    Workflow Account: (Accept the default ) owf_mgr
    Workflow Password: owf_mgr
    SYS Password : <Enter the SYS account password>
    TNS Connect Descriptor: localhost:1521:orcl
    Click Submit.
    However following this document, the command window did not close, and I did not get any message stating that Workflow Configuration has successfully completed.
    The command window displays this message as the final step and does not close-
    WorkflowCA: Executing :C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\bin\java -jar C:\oracle

    Is this installation complete? How to resolve this?
    Please can any one help?
    Thanks very much
    Allan

    I ran into this problem. And it took me while to get it fixed, but It does work.
    First the TNS Desc is misleading. One would think that it would be host:port:sid. What it is really looking for is host:port:servicename. But if you want to use the "Change Tablespace" drop down list you need to, enter the sys password, change it to host:port:sid - Then use the drop list. And change it back before you press submit.
    The second thing that I found is that it wants to use the SYSTEM tablespace as temporary tablespace. THis is becuase it is looking for a temp tablespace called TEMP. If you look a the line default_temp = SYSTEM. And if you dont supply a tablespace it wanted to change it in the wfsysgnt.sql script in the $OH\wf\sql directory. You would think that what ever the default database tbs and temp tbs is - that owf would use that. No, it wanted to change it. Oracle needs to fix this.
    So here is how i fixed it. I had to create a temporary tablespace called TEMP, does not need to be big as I dropped it after it was done. Then i had to modify the wfinstall.csh script and use the install options. Not the /tablespace this option is obayed but it will try to use the SYSTEM as the temp tbs. Here is my example that I appended:
    /wfacct "owf_mgr" /wfpasswd "my_owf_mgr_pwd" /debug "true" /tnsConnDesc "my_host_ip:my_port:my_servicename" /syspasswd "change_on_install" /tablespace "OWF_TBS"

  • OWA 2010 send/reply window does not close on IE10/11

    Hi,
    We've been experiencing issues with OWA on Exchange 2010 for several of our users after rolling out Internet Explorer 11, and this was also an issue with IE10.
    The issue occurs when a user tries to reply (does not happen when sending out a new mail) to an e-mail, and a new window pops up. After hitting "Send" the message gets sent just fine, but the window gets stuck on "sending" and has to
    be closed by the user.
    When running the IE11 debugger it shows an error in uglobal.js.
    Has anybody else experienced this issue? It seems to be happening only for a certain users (around 100), located at their own mailbox database and user/system OU.
    The server is running CU4 for SP3.

    Hi,
    From the description, it's a problem relevant to IE config. Actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding this. I recommend you ask your question on the Windows Server forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems to
    get better help.

  • Firefox Selenium Remote Control window does not close.

    Using Selenium 2.17 and/or Selenium 2.26 on Windows 7 we are having a problem with the Firefox Selenium RC (Remote Control) window not closing after the Selenium tests have completed.
    We did not have any issues when using Firefox 10.0.1esr, but when we upgraded to 10.0.10esr the problem showed up.
    Any ideas how to solve this problem? Our company requires us to be at the latest ESR release so going back to 10.0.1esr is not an option.
    Any plans to resolve this problem in another ESR release?
    Thanks,

  • Using right mouse click in bookmarks and selecting new tab or window does not work anymore in firefow 4.0. no new tab or window opens. Still works if you open new via File menu.

    When you select bookmarks, find the bookmark you want, then right mouse button click you get a drop down menu giving you the chance to open a bookmark in a new tab or new window. This no longer works with firefow 4.0

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER

    <UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
    Problems:
    1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
    2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
    3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
    4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
    Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
    I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
    I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
    I have repaired disk permissions.
    I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
    I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.

    I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
    I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
    I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

  • HT3159 Mail app does not open

    My mail application does not open anymore. It appears on the dock, but neither opens, nor does it close. Also, can't get the Mac to shut down, as it says the app is still open.
    What can I do?
    I have OS X 10.6.8 Snow leopard.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You can Force Quit an application. Press the keys (at the same time) : command + option + escape
    You will see a window when you can select an application and click Force Quit.
    If that doesn't work, to shut down, press for at least 5 seconds on the power button of your Mac.
    Hope this will help.

  • When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox
