them. Similarly if I start a new email message I always have to expand it to
complete the process.

You've posted to the wrong newsgroup, this is OE for Macintosh. I've
crossposted and set followups to the correct location.

Default Messages wont open on double click

Check your mouse for the first problem. If that doesn't help, try a new
identity.

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.

For your second problem, are you saying the new message window does not open
full screen? Close every other window and then drag it to full screen size.
Close OE and it will remember the size when you open a new message window
again.

If you right click the icon on the taskbar is 'Restore' grayed out?
