I'm using 10.7.3 Question?

[Sancho]

Sometimes I get a message that shutdown was halted by Mail. I have to force quit the Mail to get the computer to turn off. Does anyone else have this problem?

1. Yes, I do.

But it goes back to Leopard, stayed in Snow Leopard, and continues in Lion.

2. this started with me in lion...

hmmm...seems like a bug or something...

3. In the move from Leopard to Snow Leopard I can understand the carryover

But the Mail app, as I understand it, is all new in Lion. By logic and not any understanding of deep computer workings, that would tell me some other app is at work. Maybe the subroutine that engages the internet to check for mail?

5. Nope.

9. You're saying the Mail app is basically the same in Lion as in Leopard and Snow Leopard . . . .

. . . . just having a slightly new interface and a few new features? If that's the case, then that's consistent with the issues I continue to experience.

4. Are you using iCloud? or MobileMe?

6. I just switched from MoblieMe to ICloud

I don't know if that causes the problem...hhmmm...I thought it was the Mail software.

7. Probably not

Check all your settings in prefs.

8. Do you have to force quit mail or just "regular quit"?

Force quit is something you do if the application is "not responding." (i.e. crashed)

If it is saying that mail "canceled" shutdown that means mail is probably still doing something that it needs to finish (maybe you have unsaved changes?) and the system needs you to "regular" quit mail before you can shut down.

10. Probably a bug
