Open Spotlight and open Mail that way.

The correct way to open apple mail application if it is in the dock , just click on the icon to get it opened , mails are inside the mail application , to view the particular mail simply click on it .
Mails are not removed from the application and kept in the dock .
Ridiculous statement! There are multiple methods for opening any applications, there are several "correct" ways to open any app on a Mac.
I don't believe there is a way to do what you want: if you think about it - you have emails sitting in the dock and your Mail app is in the dock. So, if you open the Mail app, all other items connected to that app will be opened.
So, my question is: why do you feel that you need to have individual emails in the dock (rather than keeping them where they normally are: in your Inbox)?
Mails are not saved in the dock , either you can save them save as drafts , create new mail box , or create new mailbox folder and drag and drop mails inside it and compose a new mail then can send later .
But all of this will be done inside your apple mail application , you can consult in apple support also , what babowa explained you clearly is correct and others also .
How about a work around then: create a mail folder "Read" or "Important" and move those emails into that folder. That way you only have one folder to look at and can delete the email from there when you're done with it.
The OP is asking to drag and drop mails from inside application to the dock that has not be done , and you are using spotlight and get mails application to be opened .
You have not understood the question clearly .

Where does the OP say anything about dragging and dropping mail from inside the application?
Take the meaning out from this sentence - How can I open my Mac Mail window without always opening saved emails in my dock .
Do you recommend to open saved emails in the dock , strange .
I have never seen mails out of the mail application , they are always sent or received from mail application .
I think there is a misunderstanding of my question:
"How can I open my Mac Mail window without always opening saved emails in my dock?"
In other words: always reopening those all ready opened emails that I have reduced and saved in my dock.
No, you don't understand my question. I know how to open the mail window and click on each email to open it initially. My question, again,
"How can I open my Mac Mail window without always opening saved emails in my dock?"
In other words: always reopening those all-ready opened emails that I have reduced and saved in my dock instead of opening my mac mail window. Every time I click on my mac mail icon in my dock it opens instead the latest email I have reduced and saved in my dock (for later reply or use).
Hope this makes it clearer. Thanks.

You have to have the Mail app open in order to open e-mail. If you are attempting to open mail without opening the app this cannot be done.
Firstly, thanks for understanding my question and for replying.
I want to refer to them for a day or two or longer (1 or 2 only and usually articles) withouttrying to find them in my email stream. Also, I CAN open by clicking on "open new viewer window," but that's the step I don't want to have to do.
As I wrote earlier, I'll call Apple tech. Who knows, maybe they'll have the answer.
Correct 😁 You can also select a mail , take cursor on top menu bar file > export as pdf and another method can directly drag and drop mail to the desktop , or in the dock can be done , but for a normal everyday use no one drags mail in the dock , either they are saved as drafts and sent later .
I know spotlight, but I have no idea how this will help. Thanks anyway.

As written I understood the question perfectly thank you.
