This seems to have started a few months ago but it's starting to really bug me. I have tried rebuilding mailboxes as well as a bunch of other things. Nothing seems to help.
I'm running Mojave 10.14.2 on a 2012 macbook pro retina.
Is there a reason why Apple's own app is the one that cause problems on an Apple computer?
(This doesn't make any sense).
Thanks for you imput
If Mail has a connection open to a remote mail server, and there is ongoing network activity on it, then a shutdown request will tell Mail to stop what it is doing, but Mail must wait for that network connection to time out and that delays the shutdown request. Without a shutdown request, I have had infrequent occurrences where quitting Mail would hang it for a minute or so before it actually quit on its own. This could be due to something going on with the remote ISP Mail server too.
I recommend quitting Mail (and other open applications) before invoking the shutdown process.
Yea seems like one of my mailboxes was having issues. After removing it it seems to have fixed it. Thanks.
Try this link to verify your mail settings. There's also an option to talk to Apple Support.https://support.apple.com/mail-settings-lookup
That seems like it was the problem, it would take a few minutes to shut down the app, sometimes wouldn't shut down. Seems like one of my mailboxes was having issues with the remote server. Thanks.
Why do I have to force quit mail to shut down computer?
