Is there a better way? Is there some way of marshalling windows back to a specific monitor, or a utility for moving 'open'/running windows? Am I actually doing something wrong? :-) I can then restart the second monitor, etc.

Closing and restarting the app doesn't seem to help (as the app is helpfully remembering where my window previously was) and all I end up doing is shutting down the Mac, unplugging the second monitor and restarting it, opening the application again and this seems to persuade the Mac to rethink the main window position, and all is well. If I do a 'hide all' in the application's menu (usually it's Mail.app, so let's stick to that one for the example), everything disappears and Mail seems to think it's got an 'inbox' window in the Windows menu, but there's nothing visible.

Occasionally I seem to be able to move a window entirely off-screen (I'm not quite sure how) and I can't get it back. The up arrow maximizes the window, and the down arrow minimizes the window.I have this problem sometimes with my dual-screen setup, especially when I'm juggling lots of things around.

Press Windows key on your keyboard, and at the same time, press ↑ or ↓.

To re-open minimized windows, click and shake the window you're using. The shaking action will minimize all other windows to the Taskbar.

If you want to view a single window, click a blank spot at the top, and while holding the mouse button down, shake the window you want to view.

Click-and-drag the window, so the mouse pointer hits the top of the screen and let go to put the window back to regular size.
