Line spacing in Macmail inbox message view

This is not about line spacing in an email message! With the upgrade to Mac OS 12.2 (Monterey) came Mail 15. It spaces message list entries (vertically) much further apart than earlier releases. The result is far fewer messages visible in the list without scrolling. Is there any way to restore the single-spaced message list as in previous versions? (It would be nice to be able to single-space the mailbox list in the sidebar too, but that doesn't affect my productivity as much.) I'd even go back to an earlier release of Mail if that's what it takes, since the new features of Mail 15.0 aren't important to me.

Hi rdunn,

We'll be happy to help you out. Without a visual representation, we're unable to discern the exact thing you're referring to. However, the following article shows all view changes that can be made within mail: Change Viewing settings in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

If what you're requesting isn't mentioned there, it would not be possible to change it. It is also not possible to downgrade the Mail application without completely erasing your computer and reinstalling a previous version of macOS, as outlined in Erase and reinstall macOS - Apple Support

We hope this helps.

Cheers.
