I have multiple monitors connected to my Macbook Pro, and in Yosemite when I open up mail for instance it would remember which monitor it resided. El Captain, not so much. It opens up where ever it likes. I haven't seen any options or anything else to fix the issue. Anyone have any suggestions?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
One thought it to create a couple of desktops with your desired apps in it and see if that helps
Use Mission Control and click the + at the top right to create additional desktops

It isn't a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience. I thought the whole purpose of the desktops was to make it easier for people who only have the one display? I have a total of 3. I just wish they wouldn't take away the small things like remembering where the apps were when you shut down last. I tried the extra desktops before and would get confused where things were since I had so much real-estate. I really appreciate the suggestion though!! :-)
What I meant was - if you always have the desktop with the Mail on Monitor 2 - that may be a way to get around this - I have the same issue at work - use two desktops but the computer (windows) never seems to remember where the applications were last .....
I just tried that, I have a total of 4 desktops now and I set mail on desktop 2 and messages on desktop 3. I restarted and mail opened up on desktop 1 (my main laptop display) and messages opened up on desktop 3. I just dragged it to where I normally have it. It would be nice to have it the way I was used to. Maybe they'll have a fix in later updates/patches.
Why doesn't El Captain remember the location of the app window?
