The screen minimizes on it's own - I am just reading an email and suddenly the screen reduces to 1/3 the screen size....Why? Even after putting it back to full screen, it will time & time again, on it's own, go back to the smaller size. Why did the format for sending an email change? Typing in the names/addresses where I am sending an email has changed and sometimes no matter what address I type in to send an email to, it defaults to a completely different email address...why? Why when I try to delete one email, it deletes several in a row? Why didn't you leave well enough alone? It was a great system...easy to use...however I will be changing to another email provider if I continue to have these problems.

Never heard of this. It sounds like a local issue.

This is a known bug that is being worked on

3. Why when I try to delete one email, it deletes several in a row?

This sounds like a problem with your mouse.
