Why won't Mail open with windows placed where I left them?

I use Mail all day (and night).
I have 3 viewer windows open - one Inbox, one Sent, and one misc set to either Trash, Junk, or drafts.
I place them as nested windows so that I can always see them all and click on the visible top left corner to choose the one I want to work with. Works fine for me.
When I quit Mail and then reopen it either after a restart or after transporting my laptop to a new location, I get all 3 viewer windows to open but never in the same place they were when the application quit. I have to go about repositioning them every time I open Mail.
It's hard to say, but I even think that the viewer windows open in same relative place on the screen that I never "showed" them. But it's always the wrong location.
Is there any way to "teach" mail to open these 3 key viewer windows in the same place every time?

I did exactly as you described, locating the plist file and moving it from Library/Preferences to the desktop. I logged out, logged back in, and Mail started on the left side of my Dock and then promptly shot to the right. It is now to the left of a Google quick search box, an Applications Folder, a Documents folder, and a Downloads folder. I want the mail icon on the left side of my screen. How can I ensure that?

  • Why won't itunes work with windows 8.1?  i tunes can not locate my music.

    Why won't windows 8.1 let itunes locate my music?  I deleted and downloaded, still won't do it.  But like majic after I installed windows 8.1 my computer had a XBOX music player appear, that found my 3200 songs and it was able to play the entire library no problem.  Any ideas on how i get itunes to start working with windows 8.1?

    Hi zachwill10,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve this issue you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • Why won't mail open pps in keynote '09??

    Since I installed SL can anyone tell me why, whenever I open a powerpoint presentation in mail instead of opening keynote '09 it opens keynote test drive in version '08 (although I have already purchased '08 and '09 ) and have have both installed on my system. I don't understand why it won't use '09 to open pps docs. If anyone knows of a solution or workaround I would be most grateful.

    Thanks for that.
    I tried deleting the plist, then 'choosing to open with iwork '09 and change all but still it jumps back to the default '08.
    Is there any other way I can change the default to '09?

  • Why won't mail open when click on icon?

    why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

    Howdy lpedvm23,
    If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
    If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
    Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
    Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
    If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Why Won't Mail Icon Stay in Dock Where I Place It?

    on Mac G5 Power PC 10.5.8. My Mail icon keeps moving to the right most position on my dock (dock is at bottom of screen) and will only stay in dock while the Mail application is open. When I close Mail, the icon completely disappears. I want my Mail icon to appear on the left side of the dock. When I drag mail icon to left, after a few seconds it automatically moves to the right end (next to the left side of the separator in the dock).
    I would appreciate some help. Happened only after I updated to 10.5.8. Thank you. Dale (see my other dock-related issue with my Intel iMac - also after I updated to 10.5.8).

  • Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

    I have checked
    Why won't Mail save stationery?
    but it applies for Lepoard so what about Lion?
    Any Help? I did remove all the signature yet, still cannot save it.

    I've solved it!
    When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
    If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
    If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
    So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

    The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be?  I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

  • When i use IE9, i go to my emails and any pics in the mail open with the mail but with FF i have to download them is there a way to make the pics open in the mail, i set yahoo to load images automatically in the options menu this has had no effect, thanks

    some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

    Sounds like you did this on the fly.
    MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
    M just sets a marker
    Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
    There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane  >>

    If you're using the 32-bit version and still having issues, you may need to repair or reinstall Office so that the underlying Office DLLs (on which those browser features rely) are clean.
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/27319/how-do-i-enable-open-in-explorer
    You might be using 64-bit Internet Explorer. Switching to 32-bit IE caused the featured to become enabled. There was absolutely no indication in the application that this could possible be the cause. It was a shot in the dark.
    Mind: blown.
    The Plan Browser Support article on TechNet lists the supported browsers and limitations in "non- or partially supported browsers".
    It states the following among the limitations for 64bit IE 7, 8 and 9:
    Explorer view
    Removed in SharePoint Foundation 2010. Libraries that have been upgraded from earlier versions of SharePoint Foundation 2010 may still have Explorer views and these may not work.
