"Can't close or open email. Help!": Yes, I am using the Mac Mail App. I cannot restart the Mac because I can't close the email programme.

Manually Exit Mail:

[Hold Down: Command + Press: Tab] to get out of Mail. Keep pressing Tab until you get to Finder (the Smileyface).


Then, use Force Quit, as I described above.
