Yes, with the Mail Application closed ( not minimized in Dock ) SHIFT Key and click Mail from either the Dock icon or from the Applications Folder icon.


This is what we call an Application Safe Boot.


Does it launch.


If not >>


1 - Restart the Computer in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
