Successfully Quitting an App:

Seems you need for Force Quit this app.

Two steps:


I. Using [command + tab]:

Use [command +tab] to get to Finder (the smileyface). Then, Force Quit the AppRead my User Tip: [command+tab] Use it to Access your Mac when Something is Not Responding - User Tip


II. Using Force Quit:

See if this applications open. If that is the case, save what need be (if possible), and then Force Quit.

  1. Go To: Apple Menu
  2. Select: Force Quit...
  3. Select: Mail
  4. Click: Force Quit button
