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

The Mail preferences window does not have a green button; I don't think it ever did.
It also is not resizable, but I have seen at times problems like this, where the window, for some reason, becomes the wrong size.
You could try temporarily changing the screen resolution and see if it makes the window into a reasonable size.
Thank you. I never thought to check other computers for the Mail Preferences green button. I'll try the changing the resolution.
It's just one computer that has this issue, and is frustrating as it is a 27" iMac, with a screen width which is huge
Good catch and I missed the Preference aspect 😔
