    If you didn't know already, clicking the red "X" in the top left corner in any program or window on a Mac won't actually close the program. Instead, it keeps your contect up-to-date and keeps it running in the background. There's two ways to quit the program. Open the force quit menu and quit if from there, or press the command and Q keys at the same time. That will ensure the program will be closed.

    Why did this happened, the mail will not quit?
