Mail preferences screen size can't be modified; green button missing

The green button is missing from the Preferences screen, so I have a very wide screen which can't be modified in size. OS 12.7. This is not a new problem.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

When using FULL SCREEN Mode in most applications the Green Button as well as the Yellow and Red Button will disappear


To get them back, just Mouse Over the Top Left of the screen will make the 3 buttons including the Green to reappear.


First image is Full Screen of Safari


Second image is Mouse Over Top Left of screen


The link below is related to Full Screen Mode of Mail but same would apply to most other applications


link >>>> Use Mail full screen on Mac


The other method to Exit Full Screen mode is to use the ESC key on keyboard
