Ventura mail settings window too wide - cannot resize

This has been asked previously, but non of the suggestions (remove/delete plist, clear cache etc) work.


The Settings window extends to 5 or 6 times the width of my screen, and there's no "Gumdrops" (top left of window), or "handles" to resize the window.


Any other suggestions please?
