Hello Lizbis-705,


It sounds like your Mail app keeps disappearing. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.


If your Mail app is disappearing from your dock, it may not be saved to your dock. This will cause it to appear when in use but disappear when closed. This article should help: Use the Dock on Mac


If this isn't the case, can you provide a few more details? Which is your Mail app disappearing from? Which macOS version do you currently have? Also, when did you first notice this?


Cheers!

Thank you Omar but the problem is that Mail appears to open when I click on it and for a split second shows my emails but then disappears off the screen and an error box appears (incomprehensible to me). I have an old iMac early 2009 OS X El Capitan. I was waiting for the new /7” iMac but still no news of that so I may have to buy another. Any suggestions?

Thanks
