As I'm in any part of mail, new windows keep piling up and they can't be quit until I quit Mail.

I would look for an unsent email stuck in the Outbox of one of your email accounts. Remove the unsent email typically fixes the issue.


Delete the mail from the Outbox. If you do not see it, quit the Mail.app and relaunch it holding down the Shift key . The Outbox should appear.
