Can't reach bottom of window in mac os mail

Frustrating!

There are a few possible reasons why you might not be able to reach the bottom of the window in Mac OS Mail. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check for updates: Ensure that your Mac OS and Mail app are up to date. Sometimes, updates can resolve issues like this.
  2. Reset Mail: Try resetting the Mail app by going to Mail > Preferences > General, and then clicking on Reset. This will reset your Mail settings to their default values.
  3. Disable animations: Animations can sometimes cause issues with scrolling. Try disabling them by going to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display, and then unchecking the box next to Reduce motion.
  4. Check for conflicts with other apps: If you have other apps running in the background, they might be interfering with Mail's functionality. Try closing all other apps and see if the issue persists.
  5. Try a different window size: Sometimes, a window that's too large can cause issues with scrolling. Try resizing the Mail window to a smaller size and see if you can reach the bottom.
  6. Check for corrupted preferences: Corrupted preferences can cause issues with Mail's functionality. Try deleting the Mail preferences file by going to ~/Library/Preferences and deleting the file called com.apple.mail.plist. Then, restart Mail and see if the issue persists.
  7. Reinstall Mail: If none of the above steps work, you can try reinstalling Mail by going to System Preferences > Applications, selecting Mail, and then clicking the Uninstall button.
  8. Check for issues with your email account: If you're experiencing issues with a specific email account, try checking the account settings or contacting your email provider to see if there are any issues on their end.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you can try searching online for more specific solutions or reaching out to Apple Support for further assistance.
