When one does a M-x rmail, and then invokes rmail-summary, the frame
is split into three parts:

+-----------+----------+
|           |          |
| *scratch* |  rmail   |
|           |          |
+-----------+----------+
|   rmail-summary      |
|                      |
+----------------------+

Does this happen with "emacs -Q"? cause it never happened to me.

Or perhaps you started Rmail from this window configuration:

 +-----------+----------+
 |                      |
 |      *scratch*       |
 |                      |
 +-----------+----------+
 |        rmail         |
 |                      |
 +----------------------+

in the first place??

Even with -Q.

   Or perhaps you started Rmail from this window configuration:

    +-----------+----------+
    |                      |
    |      *scratch*       |
    |                      |
    +-----------+----------+
    |        rmail         |
    |                      |
    +----------------------+

   in the first place??

No, initial window configuration looks like this:

    +----------------------+
    |                      |
    |      *scratch*       |
    |                      |
    |                      |
    |                      |
    |                      |
    +----------------------+

But if rmail would split into three frames, based on the window
configuration you mentioned, then I would consider it a bug as well.
Atleast, it was not the behaviour of rmail before the mbox merge.

I have narrowed the problem down a bit, it seems to only happen when I
hook a external monitor to my laptop.

If I am on my laptop without a external monitor, everything works as
expected.  If I hook the external monitor, it gets the behaviour I
mentioned (three windows).

How can I go about debugging this?  I am guessing it has to do with
emacs' sframe splitting code where it calculates the size somehow, and
that gets messed up so it fails to split the frame correctly.
