John I couldn't do anything at all but just tried Dave's suggestion of force quit and that worked when I reopened Mail. I had begun to shut down and unchecked the box to reopen windows but it never did shut down, just went to force quit and things are back. I'm so totally new to the Mac that nothing surprises me b/c I don't know much. smile Barbara -----Original Message----- From: mac4theblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mac4theblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Panarese Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 4:07 PM To: mac4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mac4theblind] Re: Stuck in Email program, help please! Did you try quitting Mail and then restarting it? Also, try rebooting the Mac entirely and see what happens. Command-1 will take you to your inbox in Mail. Take Care John D.
