How many Header are listed ?


I can close Mail and pause and reopen Mail the the Column Width will remain un-changed


1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right

Thank you for the quick response.


I have four columns in all windows except the Trash (has three columns). Sometimes the column widths change when I just move between windows in Mail (go from the In Box to Sent). This is a brand new iMac... I transferred all files from my old iMac. I'll try opening in Safe Mode and see what happens. I'm on my way to work, so I'll give this a try this evening.


Thanks again.
