Mail Viewer Window doesn't open automatically

My Mail Viewer Window doesn't open automatically as it did just a few days ago.

What settings do I need to look at to restore it?

Thank you!

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Command 0 ( that is a zero) will open the message viewer if none showing when you launch the Mail.app




note: The red pill button closes the window, it does not quit the app.


To quit the application use the drop down—Mail>Quit Mail or Command Q
