Why can't I quit mail without a force quit?

When I shut down my MacBook Air I always have to force quit my mail. How can I resolve this?

Boot in to Safe Mode:

Some settings are probably stuck in one manor or another. Caches are what created these settings. So, boot into Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, damaged system files (i.e. caches) are reset, and certain preferences are not ran. To boot into Safe Mode, [Hold Down: the shift key, upon boot].
