Just brought a MacBook Air, finally moving away from Windows. Having some problems, the mail app keeps opening up, seems to be a bit random when it happens. Sometimes I get a new email and it opens in split screen.

Finding it really frustrating and have tried a few things to disable but no joy!

Any help appreciated

The mail app randomly popping up appears to be a well known bug which specifically occurs with gmail accounts. If you google the issue there are fixes but they don't work for everybody. There is a setting in mail for split view when in full screen; perhaps try unchecking that.

I've tried assort on my MBP to stop this, the only thing that works for me is to not have the mail icon open in the background.
