Q: Mail's toolbar disappeared

First, Toolbar was unresponsive and Customize Toolbar icons unresonsive. Now Toolbar has disappeared. I've tried closing and reopening Mail, restarting - - as well as angry, random button-clicking. ;-)   I need help. Must be corrupted??  How do I delete and reinstall Mail?

    Move your mouse to top of Mail screen to expose dropdown menus

     

    Mail>View>Hide (Show) Toolbar

    Thanks. Another post from an archived thread helped as well, using right click to select customize icons.

    I am having the same problem but only when I reply to an email.  (When I create a new email the toolbar is there.)   I have tried hiding and showing the toolbar but to no avail.  Also, when I click on Customize Toolbar  I see only two buttons, space and fill space, not  the full array that I see when I click on this from a new message.

     

    After clicking on various things, I finally quit iMail and restarted it.  That seems to have fixed the problem.

    Yes the right click is what allows you to change from text to icons.  Thanks for the help for this specific topic
