A friend with a G5 iMac and Tiger has a Mail problem. No longer does a message in the Inbox display to be read in the window below when it is highlighted. Double clicking opens it in a separate window as normal.
I have no model or version numbers to hand.
Help please.

Hi Severin,

Without knowing what version of Mail I would suggest as a first step, try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on the account's Inbox mailbox. All messages in the account's Inbox mailbox will disappear temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized with the server. Depending on how many messages are available in the account's Inbox mailbox and the number and size of message attachments, this can take a little time for the re-sync process to be 100% complete.

Another thing, the Mail Account's Server could have been down.

Cheers,

Ronni
