Can Mail be moved to trash and reinstalled

Monterey: Mail Signature Preferences screen cannot be adjusted; the entire window is approximately 1/4 the size of the screen and cannot be dragged to a wider width with the cursor unlike other window sizes. I've tried every thing I can do. Can the Mail app be dragged to trash and reinstalled which might correct this? How would this be done? All other window sizes in Mail are fine. The columns in Signatures are different lengths.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Mail can't be deleted and reinstalled without reinstalling macOS. Before your consider trying that nuclear option:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. Try opening Mail while depressing and holding the shift key.
  3. If that doesn't correct the problem, try opening Mail using Safe Mode, which is described in "How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support."
