Mail program won't quit

My mail program will not quit. Mail program now stops computer from shutting down. It has only started doing this from last software update. I also have a mac book pro which is now doing exactly the same thing after it did its software update. Any one got any ideas?

Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Problem with Mail I suddenly am unable to "QUIT" Mail. Also, When I try to "Quit" the mail messages disappear, and yet the Mail Menu Banner remains across the top of the screen. If I go "Window" and click on the dropdown "message viewer" all the emails are displayed again. But, the biggest problem is I CANNOT shut down my Mac, because Mail is still open. Any thoughts? barrett 180

Hold command-Option-Escape. Select Mail in the floating window. Click force quit.

Restart and try again.
