Apple Mail and Chrome open at startup

Thanks---I'd love to do that except that neither Chrome nor Apple Mail has checked to open at login. I had already checked the obvious things before posting here--the one you suggested and login items in system prefs. Neither of these apps are set to open at startup, but for some reason both apps have opened when I started my computer for the past two days. If you know of anything else that might cause this, let me know!

My system is not managed--This is my home computer. Yes, I quit all apps before shutting down. I did not see anything in console but cleared it out to see what it shows tomorrow if this happens again. The only other software that starts up when I start my computer is dropbox. We did have a power outage on Saturday evening. I think I ran the disk utility in single user when I started it back up but I'm not positive. Will try that and repairing permissions but I doubt those things would cause this kind of issue.

Actually, now that I think about it......after the power outage, which had shut off the computer, when the power came back on my computer had restarted by itself and was asleep when we got home. I thought that was weird because I don't have checked off to start up after a power outage. I wonder if this is related.

I have had no more issues with Chrome and Mail opening on startup, since my last response, until this morning when Chrome opened automatically after I started my computer. The issue is not gone.

Arthur---Last week when this happened, I did boot to a different partition and ran utilities. I can do that again and I may built a new directory with Disk Warrior also as I didn't do that last time. I won't use any browser except Chrome if I can help it. Safari is Ok, but Chrome is better and Firefox ***** badly which is why I switched to Chrome a long time ago. I really don't want to reinstall Mavericks. Honestly I didn't want to install Mavericks at all and waited a long time before doing it (a couple of months ago maybe), now i wish I had left things alone. I'll try the other suggestions. Thanks.

This morning both apple mail and chrome opened again. I went into console and there was a string of repeating items about apple mail (probably repeated at least 25 times or more). Below is what was repeated. Below that was a chome string repeated 4 times. If any of this gives you an idea of the issue, please let me know. Thanks.

Console message about apple mail, which was repeating over and over:

After looking at the console messages again.....and there are probably at least 100 of the apple mail console messages...all of them are assertion failures and each one is for a different mail box plus every archive i have stored in my documents folder. The assertion failure messages have continues to pile up in console even as I've been using my computer.

I do have Google Earth on my computer but it's not a login item. Neither is Chrome or Mail. I only have Dropbox as a startup item.

Here is what I'm going to try: I have a bunch of archived mailboxes in my documents folder that appear to be part of the message strings. I'm compressing the entire folder full of archives into a .zip file and will delete the folder. I'll rebuild my mail boxes and reboot to an external drive and use Disk Warrior to check my computer and rebuild the directory. Maybe at least I can get Apple Mail to stop auto-launching.

The Apple Mail issue is solved. I don't know if the Chrome issue will reappear or not, but I'll take what I can get! I found instructions for deleting envelope index files which forced Mail to reindex my mailboxes. All of the hundreds of assertion failure console messages that would appear every time I opened Apple Mail have stopped.
