I have about 4000 messages in my mailbox, and my focus stays where it's supposed to be all the time. I open the mail program and it's on the message I last left it on, and when I close a message it's still there... So I guess the amount of messages in the mailbox doesn't matter...

David,This is the most frustrating thing about it, other than saying yes to installing updates as they come along, I haven't installed anything new that I can even remember (actually, emusic download manager was added but after the problem started).Is it highly unusual for a person to have an Inbox with a ton of messages in it when using Mail? I will grow my Inbox to literally hundreds of messages which I will later go back and delete if the issue had been handled or file the message away in an appropriate folder if it remains relevant. I also keep messages grouped into threads which, sometimes, it seems that after reading a handful of emails in a single thread at once, I seem to feel like this throws off the focussed message in the list.Either way, it's a queer little problem that seems like it wants to hang around to haunt me.Happy Hacking, cdh On May 28, 2009, at 11:26 AM, David Poehlman wrote:we have to figure out what you installed or changed to make this start. if it is an update, we can fix that <grin>On May 28, 2009, at 11:21 AM, Chris Hofstader wrote: Hi,So, I ftried a repair permisssions and, after reading and deleting a message in Mail this morning, I found myself about 25 messages higher in the list on an email I received back in April.I understand why a GNU/Linux/UNIX/BSD/Mach/etc. system might struggle when there is too little free space on a hard disk as its swap file might outgrow the available space and things then tend to get pretty weird. I did the repair permissions and I cannot, though, figure out what permissions might have to do with losing focus in an application.I also downloaded and installed the update that arrived in a dialogue on my Mac when I started using it this morning. I have restarted a few times since then.While I remain a big fan of the Macs in our house, this problem with focus is really starting to take a toll on productivity.Any more ideas short of human sacrifice will be greatly appreciated.
