Why can't I quit my mail program?

I'm trying to turn on firevault, which needs a restart. The Mac won't shut down while mail is running. When I hit "quit mail" it doesn't quit. Should I just reboot?

Force quit Mail.
Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
Wait.
When Force Quit window appears, select Mail if not already.
Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
Wait.

Why can't I get my Mail program set up on new itouch 4?

I've been using Mail on my Mac for e-mail for years. Just got an ipod touch 4 and am trying to set up it up to read my mail on it. No luck. Ideas?

What happens when you try?
In the Info pane for the iPod in iTunes do yo have the box checked to sync the mail accounts? That should automatically add the accounts checked to the iPod.
You can also add them manually by going to Settings>Mail>add account.
You can Google for:
setup XX mail on iPhone
for the settings to use with xx being your mail provider.

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

Sorry ?
An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

have you tried removing and readding the e-mail account? sometimes settings get corrupted or changed on the server end...something computers can sometimes handle better than the mail interface.

sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.

We need more information, like...
1) what email account (is it just iCloud's @me.com/@mac.com or do you have a problem with any other email accounts, like google)?
2) What happens when you try to send an email?
3) Did you formerly use MobileMe - if so, did you remove the account in the mail app and create a new one to iCloud?

How can I empty anApple e-mail program mailbox. I have thousands of message I wish to delete, but am unable to do so. Any suggestions?

How can I empty an Apple e-mail program mailbox. I have thousands of message I wish to delete, but am unable to do so. I open the e-mails on my laptop, so I don't usually need to open them on the iMac. Whenever I use select all, and the move to trash, they always seem to reappear again. Prospectively, I know I can change the e-mail settings in preferences, but that doesn't help get rid of what is already there. Any suggestions?

You mention 2 computers. Not sure how one relates to the other. Are the messages on one and not the other?
Are they in the Inbox, or another local folder you created? If a local folder, delete the folder.
Do you have anything used to sync messages between the 2 computers? If so, disable it.
Select the messages and choose Delete instead of moving to the trash.
If that doesn't work, rebuild the mailbox, quit Mail and reopen and try again.
If all fails, delete the account from the computer. Since it is POP, when you re-add the account, there won't be any messages to download.

Why can sometimes get my yahoo mail then next time i cant and i log on the same way each time

You can consider to use Firefox Sync to sync all the profiles.
You can do a custom install of each version and install each version in its own program folder.<br />
Safest is to modify the desktop shortcut and add -P "profile name" to the command line to start each version with its own profile.<br />
Be careful with clicking a file in Windows Explorer to open the default browser, so make sure to select the correct profile in the profile manager and check the don't ask setting.
