Mail Window Size Keeps Changing

I've had this erratic bug ever since upgrading to snow leopard:
I generally keep mail open, and just have the window closed, and let DockStar do some work in terms of notifications.
Problem is that my window size keeps on changing. When I click on the mail icon to open it up (I always resize to full screen), the mail program opens up in a very small window, probably about 500x600. Sometimes it opens in full screen as I want, other times it opens to this minimized view.
It is very hard to exactly reproduce, but happens probably 1/4 to 1/5 of the time at least.
The problem with this is that it also resizes the left panel so EVERY TIME I open it up, I have to resize both the window and the left bar panel.
I found a complaint that sounded similar that had the user remove the preference file, then recreate it, but this hasn't solved the problem.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?!?!

Here's something I've noticed:
1. When I uninstalled Dockstar, all problems went away. There's definitely something going on here.
2. When I reinstalled Dockstar, I am now only having problems with Mail remembering that one of my mailboxes is set to "organize by thread." (I had this problem before in addition to the window resizing). However, the window resizing problem seems to be gone (for today, at least).
Here's what's different:
1. I installed GrowlMail after they updated to a 64bit preference pane. (Not sure how this would impact it, but who knows...)
2. Last time, I just installed the newest copy of Dockstar over the old one. This time, I uninstalled the old one and reinstalled Dockstar cleanly.
Do you feel like verifying if this is true for you too?

Before 2-3 days I never had this issue. How can I make my cover flow sixe remain the same every time I open iTunes?

After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... and everything is frozen. How can I get rid of this thing, and what is it? I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it.

After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very short and narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... when it pops up, always upper left of my laptop screen and I try to get into my yahoo mail web page, I get a DING sound and cannot enter it ... everything is frozen. I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it - and then reload my Firefox browser to get back to my yahoo e-mail page ... fortunately for me, Firefox re-stores a previous session ... How can I get rid of this intrusive thing, and what is it? Thanks in advance ... Ted Beaudoin, Welland, ON, Canada

Office for mac mail window size

I have purchased office for mac from microsoft when I purchased my 2 new imacs. Strangly enough on both imacs the mail window size when dubble clicking on an email only open of half the size of the screen. Going to the bottom right corner and drag the window to open full screen size helps of course but when I leave the program and come back next day the imac doesn't remember this and opens an email again in the size half the screen. I don't have this with the firefox screens...anyone has an idea (is this an office for mac setting or a imac setteng)?
Thanks you.

imackido, I'm not sure if your issue is with the mail application in Office (Entourage) or whether it's with Mail, the Apple program that's part of Leopard (I suspect it's the latter). I don't use Entourage.
I have this same problem with Leopard Mail, but what I want is to make my window smaller (MBP 15", and the default window size of about half the screen seems to take up too much screen real estate). I can resize the window per message, but each time I open up a new message and/or create a reply message, the darn window is back to 1/2 the screen.
*Is there no way to get Mail to "remember" things like preferred window sizes?*
Minor detail, but really annoying...and it's one of those things that just makes the program that much less good to work with when you have a lot of things going on on the machine at the same time.

Mail Signature: image size keeps changing to fit window

When adding a logo image to a signature in mail, the image is not remaining the same size, it changes in size semingly to fit the width of the window that the email happens to be in. Mostly the image is showing larger than the window itself. We are having this problem on imac (snow leopard) and brand new macbook pro (mountain lion). I have tried using PNG and JPEG files but both have the same problem. Older signatures (2 years old) show the image correctly keeping it the same size. Any advice muchly appreciated : )

I worked it out in the end - I had 2 things too big in my image settings; the canvas size (which was 14cm long!) and he DPI (which was 300dpi) I have since changed to approx 8cm long and 100DPI and it now displays the logo in the signature without increasing the size of it to fit the size of the window. My only issue now is trying to get the image to still show in the reply thread, so that when you look down the email conversation you can see the logo in each of the previous email signatures. This one is stumping me!

Window size always changes after restart in 10.9.2. How can I fix it- as in older OS-Versions?

Hi,
I'm using OSX for a long time. Now I bought a new MBA 10' with Mavericks 10.9.2. I'm really tired about ever changing window sizes after restarting my MBA, espacialy the sidebar is skipping to a wider size, then the window, I used before turning the mac of. No window opens, in exact that size I used before. Of course, I used to fix it, but never menaged to do so.
Have you any idea to solve my problem?

Do you uncheck the "Reopen windows when logging back in?" box? If so, does the issue occur when you leave the box checked?
That might be the culprit.
I hope I solved your question.

Dock size keeps changing?

I always set dock size the smallest. But it keeps changing so that it's slightly bigger than the smallest. Why is it changing all by itself?

I guess no one knows.

MAIL My typeface keeps changing itself

I have set my typeface to heleticae Neue LIGHT in my mail preferences and although that stays there, the body of mail email gets systematically changed to Helvetica "Regular" I like the Light version because it is the same typeface as my signature and I am in the interior design industry..
Anyone has the same problem? any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Paulin

Mine switches to my daughters info by itself also. My wife, daughter and I are all logged into my iCloud account on each of our iPhones (plus my iMac and MacBook Air) so that the "Find iPhone" app will show the location of each of our devices. "My Info" never switches to my wife's information, just my daughters?????
I'm now trying the "Don't Allow Changes" function under Settings/General/Restrictions/Allow Changes/Accounts - to see if that will keep it from automatically changing.
Will try to report back if this works. I do not know what triggers the automatic change.

Screen size keeps changing

sometimes when i am working in adobe cc suddenly my screen size changes and I cannot figure out why or how to change it back. Has this happened to anyone else?

Possible reasons a window would change size
Ctrl or Alt Spacebar and left click drag (standard zoom feature)
or my best guess, he has Zoom with mouse wheel check in General preferences. This operates completely by itself, (no other key needed) so would be very easy to make happen unintentionally.

Mail "sort" choice keeps changing

Hello,
I recently installed Snow Leopard and some updates of other applications, but now every time I go into Mail (even if I've only read a message or two), the sort order I've chosen, by "date received") is changed to by "subject." It's really annoying. Any idea about why it's happening and what to do to lock in my choice?
Thanks!

Page size keeps changing between pages based on browser zoom

I recently started designing a web page for a golf league. I designed my main page (index.html) and have it laid out all nice and neat with 9 divs (outer, wrapper, logo, social media, topnav, banner, content, rightside, footer). My main page has horizontal navigation links near the top of the page for 7 different pages (Home, Course, Events, History, Statistics, About, Contact). I created 6 blank html files for the other 6 pages and then created and applied the template from my main (Home) page to the other 6 pages.
All the pages are laid out perfectly and everything seems fine. However, when I view the web pages and use the zoom on my mouse (CTRL + Mousewheel), it only remembers the zoom level for the current page that I'm on. NOTE: FYI, I'm viewing all of these pages offline, which I assume might be the problem.
For example, if I'm on my main page and zoom in, then click the "Events" link, it switches to the Events page, but doesn't have the same zoom level. These zoom levels also seem to be saved (to my browser, not the dreamweaver code), because when I close the browser and reopen it to the web page, it remembers the previous zoom settings.
I just started building a web page a few days ago and don't have a published web page as I haven't selected a host yet, but plan to when I know how what exactly I need in terms of size. All the web pages I've been viewing are on my hard drive. Is that why the zoom is not consistent across all my pages? To clarify, if I zoom all the way in on my home page, then click "Events", the Events page won't necessarily be zoomed all the way in, it will be at the same zoom level as the last time I viewed it.
I just want to know if this issue will go away when I actually publish my page to the internet and view it on the web? If not, I'd like to tackle the problem now before I publish it because this site has to be professional since we're holding a big charity event in the fall with a major and well known charity and celebrity.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You're not using frames or framesets are you?
In which browsers are you testing your site?
My experience in Firefox, Chrome & IE9 is that Ctrl++ (zoom) remains constant until I change it.

Why does the character size keep changing to extreme small on the home page?

With the new Firefox downloaded the character type changes to extremely small print every time I go away from the home page. I then have to reset it to larger print. With old Firefox the print size remained as I set it all the time.

You didn't restore the device as new before you began using it. Do so now, and use your own Apple ID & password from now on.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
Then, in the Setup Assistant, use only your own information.

Save as window size keeps going back to the default size. I need it to stay the size I set it at so I can read the end of the file name.

.When I save a file in Photoshop, I save for web and devices. It gives you the first window which I always just hit enter. Then it gives you a second window to name the file and where to put it. The problem I’m having is that’s it’s not remembering I want the window bigger and I can’t see the whole name of the file. I need to see the end of the file name so I know what to save the next file as. I can scroll or make the window bigger again but that is too time consuming when I’m trying to do hundreds of them a day.
I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac running Yosemite.

IOS "Mail" font size keeps varying...

How do I get Mail on the iPhone/iPad to always display the same font size? Sometimes the font is too small to be readable and I have to pinch outwards to increase it. It gets annoying after several instances...
Thanks!
Fernando

Go to "Settings" and after that click at "Mail, Contacts, Calender". Than there is a list where you can decide how big do you want the font.

Mail 5.0 keeps changing my "rules" settings

I have set my rules in Mail to send my mail to either an "archive inbox" or "archive sent" folder after 30 days. Every so often, I will realize that mail has unchecked one or both my rules in preferances without my knowlegde. I will re-check the rule box and it stays that way for a while then it automatically unchecks one of them again! (I also have to reset the "to mailbox:" each time in preferances). This is happening on both my iMac and Macbook Pro. I switched to Apple Mail just before upgrading to lion so I cannot say weather this is specifically a Lion issue. I was using Entourage before switching to Mail. This is just one of several quirky things I am experiencing with Mail. If it wasnt for the easy syncing with all my iOS devices, I'd switch back to Entourage. (I am using MobileMe, if it is a poblem with MM I cannot figure it out?) Thanks!

Hi. I am having a similar problem, except my window is about one month.
Some differences. You mentioned that you have another computer configured with POP. POP does have a setting to "remove downloaded emails after x". If POP is removing the emails from the server, your IMAP would reflect this. Check Mail > Preferences > Accounts on your POP configured machine.
