Why won't My Mail app open?

Why won't My Mail app open? It has just started doing this: it opens for about 1 sec than 'closes unexpectedly'. I have tried shutting down and restarting the computer (Mac OSx El Capitan Version 10.11.6) several times with the same results.

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

Hey RoostRider,


Those are some great steps you took on your own already. This time, let's try completely quitting the Mail app: How to force an app to quit on your Mac


Once that has been confirmed, hold down the left 'Shift' key on your keyboard, and then click to open the Mail app. What this does is it will clear the app state which can help prevent the unexpected crash.


Let us know if this step helps!


Best regards.
