Hey tjkeating,

I understand you're unable to see the menu bar while using the Mail app on your Mac. I'd be happy to look into this.

First, I want to test a few things with your app window:

macOS Sierra: Focus on apps in full screen or Split View

Let's use the steps on this article specifically here to be sure you're not in full screen:
  1. In the top-left corner of the app window, click the green button, or press Control-Command-F.

  2. In full screen, do any of the following:

    • Show and hide the menu bar: Move the pointer to or away from the top of the screen to access the app’s menus.

    • Show and hide the Dock: Move the pointer to or away from the bottom or side of the screen, depending on the Dock’s location.

    • Move between other apps in full screen: Swipe left or right on your trackpad or Magic Mouse. For more information, see Trackpad and mouse gestures.

  3. To stop using the app full screen, move the pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, then click the green button, or press Control-Command-F.
