Home Forums Networks & Cross-Platform Networking Changing Mail View Options permanently

 And I hear that your letter carrier is both a pretty nice person and needs a home.

Following up on my response to joemike, I'm kinda hamstrung.

In your home library folder, do you see ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail?

Under any circumstances, though, please open the plist on your desktop in TextEdit, and, unless it's enormous like I described to joemike, copy & paste its contents into a post. (You'll probably be asked to select an app when you double click on the plist, so navigate to /Apps in the dialog box and select TextEdit.)

You may be stuck for a fix other than upgrading, but I haven't got a clue why it may be the case.

(A major part of the problem with troubleshooting vintage OSs is that we can't access them.)
