Hi Severin, I don't use mail myself - but I gave it a quick fire up to see if I understood the problem.
One thing I noticed is unlike Entourage where: when you drag the divider to change the relative size of the message list/mail view windows it stops before you reach the bottom of the enclosing window - so the message window never "disappears" With mail you can, in fact, drag the divider right to the bottom so that there is only one window visible (the message list) - so the first thing to check is that the window is, in fact, divided into two halves - if not (ie there is a double line with a dot in it at the bottom of the window) then just drag the divider (looking like the bottom border) back up again to reveal the mail view window. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be the options in preferences to select or deselect this option so I wouldn't know! I hope the above makes some sense!! Hope that helps Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
