when I delete an email or close a tab which was created by clicking on a link, the whole page goes blank--no inbox, outbox, etc. I then have to click on the home page, start a new tab, then click on mail.

also, the address suggestion feature is not working. if I type "Bill" it used to give me several addresses to choose from. now there are no suggestions so I have to scroll through the address book to select each individual.
