When i create a new mail, the window is nearly the full width of my 16'' screen. I cannot make it more narrow, left to right - the resize arrows only show to make it shorter top to bottom.
I saw a thread regarding editing the toolbar and removing the space...I tried this but no change.
I am running Ventura 13.1
Any advice gratefully received
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.1
Hey GavinMarcusWells,
You should be able to resize the Mail window. Try the steps under "Move, align, and merge app windows" to see if they help. Specifically "To return the window to its previous position and size, press and hold the Option key, move the pointer over the green button, then choose Revert.", here: Manage app windows on Mac - Apple Support
If those steps return it to normal size, try to resize it to your preferences again.
Let us know how it goes.
Hi GavinMarcusWells,
The new windows should retain its size after you resize it to your preference. If things aren't functioning this way we'd recommend reaching out for support here: Get Support
Take care.
Thank you for replying. I followed the steps you suggest, however when I do this ""To return the window to its previous position and size, press and hold the Option key, move the pointer over the green button, then choose Revert." ... there is no revert option.
Every new email i open almost fills the screen, and when i move the mouse to the left hand or right hand edge, all i get is an arrow point out, to make the window bigger..i cannot make it smaller. The attached screenshot shows the size of the screen, but didn't capture the arrow, it disappears when i capture the screen
Apple support found the answer. One of my signatures was corrupt - and it was so long... it kept the window wide to accommodate Once I deleted and recreated it all was fine. Thank you all who replied
Thank you
