Blank mail window keep popping up endlessly every time I click on an email and these windows cannot be closed unless I terminate the Mail app. How can I make it stop? This Mail is Version 16.0 (3731.400.51.1.1).

Mail opens itself a new window, without any command. When I open Mail, a new window opens (as if I click "send a new e-mail) but I don't click anything. It opens automatically and I can't close it. The only thing I can do is to make it full screen and then minimize. Then another window opens and another and another. Finally I have my normal mail window and 5 or more at the bottom, minimized. Any idea what could it be?

Apple Mail app keeps loading windows attempting to send emails I almost never use the Mail app and find it very annoying in general. Often times it will automatically load if I click on something like an EML file. Now, when it loads, thousands of windows are loading up, one after another -- they appear to be very very old emails I sent. They load with an error, "cannot connect to sending mail server" or something. But by the time that error appears, then another window pops up with the same error. It is a nightmare where I am unable to close these windows or stop the endless pop-ups. It also hijacks my ability to do much of any settings/config fiddling in the Mail app itself. I also know that eventually my system would run out of memory. So I am forced to "Force Quit" from my system dropdown. But those windows will all auto-open if I accidentally open the Mail app again. Please help me [1] delete the root cause without opening the Mail app to do so; [2] delete this useless, oppressive application, forever.

Hello SanJoseSharks23,

It sounds like the email may be stuck, either with a message that can't load or a different kind of failed task. What we'd recommend is to restart your Mac and not resume apps, with the steps on how to do that located at Prevent apps and windows from reopening on Mac - Apple Support. This way, any stuck tasks are taken out of the equation.

Let us know if that makes a difference.

Cheers!
