Email Opens a Read Only Window

When using Gmail on my MacPro and I open an email it automatically opens in a separate "read only" window. It doesn't allow me to reply or access other functions. How do I go back to reading mode and reply/forward etc.... There must an extension or preference setting that was changed.

Mail opens new window Hello. I recently bought a MacBook Pro 2020 in exchange of my 2015 Pro. Before in the 2015, when i opened an email it would open the email within the same program/page. Allowing easy access to different mails, clicking between them. It would simply open it within the mail program and have the email on the right side. Now on my new 2020, I have to double click and it opens the mail in a separate window. I cannot find the setting to turnt his off - is it not possible, to have the email open within the program and not in a separate window?

Hi antonius130,

We understand that your emails are set to read-only on your Mac. We’re happy to help.

We suggest deleting and then re-adding the account to see if the issue persists:

Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Add an email account to Mail on your Mac - Apple Support

Let us know the results.

Have a good day!

Yes - removing and reinstall did the trick. Thank you so very much.
