Resize Mail Window

I have tried to point my arrow in the corner to resize the mail window. Its too big. It doesn't work. It just wants to take action based on whatever is closest to the corner where I point the arrow.

OS X Yosemite
Is the window in Full Screen mode?
Move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen and when the toolbar drops down, click the green button.
You can resize the window by moving the mouse pointer to any of the four corners of the window and dragging inward or outward.

Must resize Mail window to view some mail

I've been searching to see if anyone else has seen this problem, and if Apple is aware of it.
There have been occasions when mail does not completely appear in the mail window. I believe it is always with HTML imbedded in it, but it could be more than just that. A good example would be a recent confirmation of flight information from an airline.
The mail in the display window is always truncated, and there's little or no scroll indication (the blue scroller fills the scroll space). However, if I just resize mail (either smaller or larger), the scroller gets smaller and I can now scroll through the entire mail message.
Is this a known problem, or something I can correct through preferences?
Thanks

I've seen similar problems reported before and troubleshooted one or two cases without success. I believe it's either a bug in Mail, or bad HTML code, or an encoding issue. Other symptoms are that the full contents appear when forwarding the message (which indicates it could be an encoding issue), or in the preview pane but not when displaying the message in a separate window (which indicates it could be a bug in Mail).

Cannot resize new mail window in yosemite

Ever since I installed Yosemite, the new mail window pops up way too wide. I can make it shorter or taller but not narrower. Periodically, someone will post a fix and that generally works once or twice but then that does not work either. I have deleted large signatures, deleted multiple accounts, rebuilt mailboxes and restarted more times than I can name. This is truly irritating and needs to be fixed. I know I am not the only one with this problem because I have seen others post about it. I am working on a brand new macbook pro 13" with all the bells and whistles so it is not the hardware. Help please!

Hi Adrian,
there is no need for cut and paste the signatures for every e-Mail. Just follow the described procedure. Remove your Signatures under Mail/Settings/Signatures. After this you will be able again to adjust your New Message or Reply-Window in width. After you have adjusted your New Message - Window, restart the Mail-App and write your Signatures back under Mail/Settings/Signatures. Now anything should work perfect. You can adjust any Windows in Mail, as it should be. If your Signature is to big, you can copy them into a file from the Textedit-App, change the Text over Format/Make Plain Text (with this step you remove hidden formats), then change the text back over Format/Make Rich text and copy in the last step this Text back to your Signatures under Mail/Settings/Signatures. Close your settings, restart Mail. This procedure takes you only minutes. After this, it works for sure.
Sorry for my bad English, but I hope you will understand what I intend to tell you.

Automatic resizing of Window

I've created a window that let's the user know that a child transaction
is being started. I add three dots to a TextGraphic widget message
until the child task is started. However, the window pane automatically
gets bigger every time the three dots are added (using a TickInterval
parameter). I tried coding the widget as a size of explicit, but then
the dots aren't added. I also tried setting the autosize enabled option
on the Window property to off, but this hasn't seemed to help. I've
sized the window with more than enough room for the extra dots, but the
window still gets resized each time. I am using the UpdateFromData
method to update the window.
I want the dots to be added with the window pane resizing itself
everytime.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I want the dots to be added with the window pane resizing itselfeverytime. <<
Don't you mean **without resizing** ?
I tried coding the widget as a size of explicit <<This should work, but you will have to manually re-size the TextGraphic
on the window to a sufficient width.
An alternative would be to group this widget into a panel and then
re-size the panel to a sufficient width and set the panel size policy to
explicit (default).
Hope this helps.

Image size pop up menu missing in mail window

Tonight I was about to resize an attachment (a photo) in the Mail message window, but discovered that the image size pop up menu that used to appear at the bottom of the mail window is no longer there! I tried quitting Mail and launching it again, restarted the computer (a 2003 iMac G4 running Tiger), and repaired permissions. Any ideas on how I might get the image size pop up menu back again? Thanks.

Seems there must be something messed up on the HD.
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The important part is to Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions.

Mail window pane vanished - how to bring back?

In Mail,
When in the Inbox, there is usually a small list of emails (sent to me that perhaps i haven't read) at the top and if I click any of them I get the preview or email in text at bottom of screen below it (divided by a line).
My wife was reading emails and scrolling down on the right, and somehow Mail quickly set itself to only have the emails (sent to me) only appear and now i have to double click any single email to see the email (which pops up in a new window).
In other words, I believe the technical way to explain it is that the window pain on the bottom is no longer there. How do I bring it back to the way it use to act - do I need to selecting something from the "view" menu at the top?

Hello,
There is a spot in the middle of the bar at the bottom of the Mail window that is used to hide or reveal, or dragged to resize the message preview pane. Depending on your display resolution, you can see that this spot is actually multiple lines.
Although not fully applicable to Mail 2.x and OSX 10.4, the following support document does provide a picture of this spot on the separator bar (which now you have at the bottom):

This same out-of-date article is found as a link in the current Mail Help if you search with Preview Pane.

Mail Window Changes Size

In using Mail 6.5, I notice that when I open messages to read them more fully rather than just preview, sometimes the window is reduced and moved to the lower left hand corner of the desktop.
I am not using the classic view for viewing emails in the inbox.
There have been other threads where this has been discussed, so not sure if there is a solution. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for the help. I was able to use your suggestion, and quit Mail and then reopen, and the window opened as expected.
However, after I printed an email, the next email I opened, was small and in the lower left of the desktop. So I moved the window and resized and was able to quit mail, and when I opened again, mail window appeared as before. After I printed again a message, I go the same issue - window reduced and in lower left of desktop!
Any other ideas?

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 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).

Help! My ipad mail window wont stay open to read mail?

ipad has been sending & recieving mail with no problems but suddenly is recieving mail but when mail window keeps shutting down & won't stay open??? Any ideas???

It won't be a virus
Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a 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.

I want two mail windows in Mail can i do this?

Hi,
I have out of viewing space in my Mail window with my 3 ..mac email address and all the rules and smart folders I have created. I am about to start a small business and will have to have 3-5 non .mac email address. I would like to use OSX Mail to view those account on my computer but I do not want them to be in same window as my personal accounts. Can I create another Mail window for this. If not is there another good mail software program I can use on my mac to keep the business and personal emails separate? Thanks

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?

I have a new imac with osx 10.6.8 and can't get letter box to open in the mail window with 3 columns. I have downloaded the latest version and it also didn't open in 10.6.7. Any ideas?

Letterbox downloads and installs and is enabled, but does not produce the 3 columns in the mail window. I had the same problem with 10.6.7 and now 10.6.8. The download is the latest version (0.24b9) and the forums indicated that it works with both osx versions. I have tried deleting the letterbox plug-in and then reinstalling, but still no luck with the 3 column mail page. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thanks

i just fixed this on my machine running 10.6.8. the typical workaround is to add appropriate UUIDs, which get updated with each new os build, and break plugins (see here). Follow those instructions, but instead of adding the UUIDs they suggest for 10.6.7, add these (I found them on my machine running 10.6.8, and they work):
064442B6-53C0-4A97-B71B-2F111AE4195B
588FF7D1-4310-4175-9980-145B7E975C02
for fixing on os x version 10.6.7, this may help (though letterbox 0.24b9 should work already).
i emailed the author (aaron harnly, harnly.net) about this, but haven't heard back (a few days). to be sure, i am quite grateful, as i think we all are, for his excellent plugin, and this workaround is quite simple for dealing with updates.

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
