[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1886660, member: 175845"] I have no idea at all why and how Apple does some things, and some defies any logic on my behalf. To overcome this problem, I would suggest AppleScript could come to your rescue, and then add it to your login items and let it do its thing... Open mail, close window or minimize window,.. or just stay out of sight in the background until needed... etc. I would think something like that should work. [SIZE=6] [/SIZE][SIZE=5] 😉[/SIZE] I'm sure you can find something here, or even modify the Google search accordingly if needed: [I][B]'mac applescript open Mai.app then close its window' [/B][/I] and you should get something like this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+applescript+open+Mai.app+then+close+its+window&safe=strict&sxsrf=ALeKk006Mk5lP2o3Hncdv5z9AXnflY78HQ%3A1625428980592&ei=9BPiYJHpI42E-gT_5664AQ&oq=mac+applescript+open+Mai.app+then+close+its+window&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBAghEBU6BwgAEEcQsAM6BwgjELACECc6BAghEApKBAhBGABQ4IUBWJ3kAWDO7QFoAnACeACAAUmIAf0FkgECMTKYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6yAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiRs_vnmsrxAhUNgp4KHf-zCxcQ4dUDCA4&uact=5[/URL] I would be very surprised if you don't find something useful in some of those hits that could do what you want. I'm sorry I can't provide you with a ready-made Applescript as I am not a very good apple scripture. [SIZE=5] 😔[/SIZE] - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
