Does Apple Mail still open up in split screen view randomly?

This has been a all new annoyance introduced to Mail app in Mojave. IT will pop up randomly in split screen view when there is an app in full screen mode. I have searched and couldn't find a way to stop that. So I just wonder if this still happens in 10.15. It could be a reason for an early upgrade.

Still happens all the time, even on clean install.

OK. I already filed a bug report.But who knows when it got fixed. I have been using Apple Mail for years. Maybe it is finally the time to look for another email client.
 
Problem still persists as of the latest beta, Mail.app keeps opening randomly. No idea how to stop it.
 
I have this problem too. Was enough to try and switch to Airmail, but I'm having syncing problems with that. There seems to be no perfect solution!

Are you using a Gmail account? I find that it doesn't seem to do it if I delete it from Mail.

Yeah my primary is iCloud mail, but I do have a gmail as my secondary.

I can't remember for the life of me where I read this, but do you have Calendar enabled on your Gmail account in System Prefs > Internet Accounts? I seem to remember somebody saying this bug doesn't happen if you do, but have never tested it myself. Might be completely wrong.

In any case, this bug is listed as having 'More than 10' recent reports in Feedback Assistant, so hopefully they are aware of it. Doesn't bode well that it's been around for so long without already being fixed, however.

Everything apart from the mail itself is disabled. I don't like Google, I would never use any of their stupid joke calendars. I doubt it would make any difference though, I deleted and re-added my gmail account. The next time Mail.app pops up I'll enable the calendar thingy, but I'm 98% sure it won't help as most people who have a gmail account also have the calendar enabled, and yet... the issue persists :D

Where is this "option" to turn this annoying problem off?

Yes. See attached screenshot. But from my experience the option doesn't work.

Somehow I missed that option which I've now "checked". Earlier today before I replied to this thread, I selected the 2nd option from the top (Check for new messages). I think my option before was every 5 minutes thinking that was what was causing the annoying message popup. I've now selected "manually", hoping that will cure the "popup".

I also notice that my "default email reader" is Opera which I don't remember selecting. Does that mean anytime I'm reading a message, I'm using Opera?
 
The problem is with gmail automatic integration, when configured manually as smtp it doesn’t occur.
