I built the GNUMail version 1.2.3 from the webpage.
BTW is there a publicly available version control system with the code (readonly) ?

I will uninstall all this and try to build from source, despite the problem I found on debian 9 (intel), see my other email.

at a first glance, I would say it is not a GNUMail problem, but something with your gnustep gui, as I supposed earlier.. I have never seen something like this.

I have no direct suggestion except the tests I already suggested to you to pinpoint the root cause. Be sure your setup is clean.

Linux x86 and NetBSD x86 display gnumail and all apps with no regression bugs.

I also tested on my Raspberry PI with NetBSD and GNUMail displays just fine! So no particular ARM issues.
I am using gcc and its runtime though on it. What are you using? which compiler? runtime?
