You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

...
When I want to compose an email, I click compose and one screen comes into
view and immediately after, another screen comes up behind it. Its a full
page screen. When I finish writing and sending the email, the larger
screen
stays on and when I click cancel to get rid of it a box appears and says
"do
you want to close all tabs"? The only way I can get rid of that screen
is
to click on the arrow in the upper left hand corner, which returns me to
my
inbox.
Can anyone please help me get rid of the bigger screen so it doesn't
appear
when I'm sending emails???
