Chris, I'm probably having similar problems here and there in mail to Andy, since we're both pretty new at the Mac. I do have a large amount of messages in GMAIL but think also that it may be our errors that are causing problems. Certainly, earlier today I was looking at my music in iTunes and, can't remember all that happened, but somehow got myself into a situation where I could see the table and the message I was looking at but get no further ... I struggled for ages and then, suddenly, tried a right arrow on its own and I was back and working fine again. (Go figure)!
I certainly don't understand. Thanks though for your thoughts which I will be glad to bear in mind.
