Mac Mail generates unclosable empty windows

My MacMail has started generating empty windows that can be minimised, full-screened but not closed.

The first appears within 2 secs of start up, mpore appear over time using the program.

Two things you might try is to force quit mail, then reopen it while pressing and holding the Shift Key. Then test again.

Secondly, try performing a safe boot that clears out temp cache files and fixes many anomalies it finds during boot up. Then boot back to normal and test again.
