Email Opens a Read Only Window

When using Gmail on my MacPro and I open an email it automatically opens in a separate "read only" window. It doesn't allow me to reply or access other functions. How do I go back to reading mode and reply/forward etc.... There must an extension or preference setting that was changed.

Hi antonius130,


We understand that your emails are set to read-only on your Mac. We’re happy to help.


We suggest deleting and then re-adding the account to see if the issue persists:


Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


Add an email account to Mail on your Mac - Apple Support


Let us know the results.


Have a good day!
