Mail will not close how do I close mail so I can shutdown my iMac?

i just bought my first 27 inch imac a few weeks ago, I am a apple convert, today my mail will not close, the close mail tab is greyed out in to top task bar, and I tried to right click on the app and close that way but no go. is there yet a third way to shut down mail that I am not aware of as I can not turn off the imac until mail is closed, miss the force shutdown tab in pcs

Use cheng5543's suggestion first. You can also Force Quit applications by clicking the Apple symbol in the upper left of the screen and choosing Force Quit and then choose the app to Force Quit.

I updated our iPad a week ago to 8.1 (12B410) and since then most apps will not close down with the 4 fingers swiping in.

I updated our iPad a week ago to 8.1 (12B410) and since then most apps will not close down with the 4 fingers swiping in. The only way to close them down is to hit the middle bottom button twice then swipe upwards. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

This has been happening to me as well with an iPad 3 running iOS 8.1. This is what I do and it works for me. Toggle the setting for Multitasking Gestures off and then on again, Settings>General>Multitasking Gestures>Off. Then toggle it on again.
I have to repeat the sequence from time to time as I have not found a permanent fix. I think that iOS 8 is by far the buggiest iOS release that I have used since I have owned an iOS device.

Itunes library will not close down all the way

My iTunes library will not close down all the way. When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

iphoto will not close down when i click on the red X button

Right (Command) click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if you can select Quit there or if you get an iPhoto not responding message. If you do get that message you'll have to the the  ➙ Force Quit... menu option then figure out why iPhoto is stalled.

My finder will not close down. it only allows to relaunch

My finder will not close down and when I force quit. It only allows to relaunch. It is causing stability issues throughout my computer.

The finder has to restart, otherwise you won't be able to do anything on your computer(open windows, switch windows, and open files).

Mail will not close

My mail app will not quit I have tried to quit it but it just makes a beep sound and then will not close. I can't shut down because mail keeps stopping the shut down. Any help would be appreciated.

command-option esc. Try hitting those keys and see if Mail will quit. You can always do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. Sounds like directory issues. Insert your OS installer disk and reboot while holding down the 'c' key. Do Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

TS3276 Mail will not quit

Mail will not give the option to quit. Cannot turn off computer without closing mail but it will not highlight that option so that it can be clicked on. Any suggestions?

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and close it from there.

Are you able to receive mail from all of the accounts? any of the accounts?
Are all the email accounts with the same provider?
In Console > All messages search on Mail and see if there are any error messages

Keep getting deleted emails back and mail will not close,have to force quit

i have 4 emails that will not stay deleted.I will delete them and as soon as i reopen my mail they come back.Its as if they never left.Then i can't close my mail.i have to force quit. I have read of other problems close to mine and tried there solutions with no success.I do not know if my setting in pref. are correct or not. This problem is not allowing me to recieve new emails i just keep getttting these same 4 back time after time. very frustrating.

You're welcome.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
In order to fix the problem, we'll have to re-create Envelope Index. The thing is, Mail may choke on those messages while re-creating the index, so either be prepared for that or perform optional steps 1 and 3:
1. (Optional, but recommended). Assuming this is a POP account, in the Finder go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/, and identify the *.emlx files associated with the troublesome messages. Viewing the *.emlx files as List in the Finder showing the creation/modification date may help. Just identify them; do not get rid of them yet (you must quit Mail first).
2. Quit Mail.
3. (Optional, but recommended). Move to the Trash the troublesome *.emlx files found in step 1.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong -- e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down.
5. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
6. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate Deleted Messages.mbox, and move it to the Trash. I assume there is nothing to be preserved there.
7. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be "imported". Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it's "importing", but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Mail will not close without a "Force Quit"

Dear Friends,
My iMAC OS 10.5.4 mail program has malfunctioned ever since I opened it to access mail via my e-mail service provider during which time the power failed. After power was restored, the mailboxes of other accounts on the computer continue to function normally as does my mac.com account on the same Mail program. Now when I open the Mail program the spinning wheel on my internet services account continues to spin and my mail program will only close when I use the Force Quit command. Opening the mail program on other accounts causes no problem. I have reset my preferences, used the utility program, reset the internet service provider mail settings and rebooted the computer without success. Any ideas?

Many others have the same problem. Please see this thread for some potential remedies. For the record, none of them have worked for me. Please post if you find a solution that does work.

Mail will not shut down so mac stays on

Mail stops mac shutting down.

Hey richardfromloveland,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the Mail application on your MacBook. If you are unable to quit the application, you may need to force quit it:
OS X Mavericks: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13975
If the app is frozen, force quit the app. Press Option-Command (⌘)-Esc, select the app, then click Force Quit.
When you force an app to quit, you may lose unsaved changes.
Thanks,
Matt M.
