My mail app keeps opening up periodically. If I'm watching a video in full screen, it'll split the screen as it opens. Happens when not in a full screen app. Has this issue been described before and is there a fix?
MacBook, macOS 10.14
Post the whole report.
Actually the best way is to use postbin or such, but Apple has a terrible built-in way...
Use the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.
Thanks, I don't readily see a cause, but by inference suspect these 2 Apps...

Since they profess to "control" internet connections.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
˜What all 3rd party extensions are you running?
EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.
It can, but doesn't have to. It often happens when I'm watching a youtube video fullscreen from browser (sllits the screen), but also happens when I’m full screen using OneNote app. If I’m not in fullscreen using OneNote or different app/browser then the Mail app window will pop up. The only way to avoid this is by quitting out of Mail completely or minimizing the app which I always forget to do.
I’ve heard from several people that have this issue as well.
Are you familiar with either Examsoft/Examplify or Sonosim the BDAqua might suspect as causing the problem? It'd be interesting to see if we could narrow it down between our identical problems.
@BDAqua Ill have to report back possibly later today after I get some studying done to see if the problem persists through any of those. Thanks for trying to help!
I have somewhat the same problem. I am working away in some application in fullscreen and the mail app pops up and splits the screen. This happens regardless of having notifications set to do not disturb! It's very annoying!
No it happens in all applications. I can be in any application in full screen and mail decides to say hi and splits the screen for no apparent reason and regardless of having notifications disabled via "Do not disturb" in the notification center.
Is this only happening if using a Browser?
Hmm I ran a check from EntreCheck, whats the best way to offer the report? check copy and paste the entire report section?
Think I did this right
OK & good idea to ask Mike... was going to & forgot... would make it simple.
The other thing I was thinking was some obscure KB shortcut.
Mail client keeps opening up on its own
