Note to self
1. It is far too easy to accidentally open every highlighted email in a separate little window using Apple Mail.
2. Quitting the app seems like a good idea to get rid of the 100s of windows (34 to be exact) but it doesn't work, they just open back up when going back to Mail (eating up CPU cycles and filling up RAM).
3. There appears to be no way to close all windows (or I just can't find it) or an option to not remember which bloody windows were opened when Apple Mail is quit.
grrrr
*click* *click* *click* x 34

It's too late now, but you can close all of an application's windows at once. Just click the close button whilst holding down the Option key. :)

As with most modern OS's, keys naturally repeat under OS X by default, so holding down [Apple Key] + W will repeat that key combination multiple times.
Hold that down until all windows have closed than open the main Mail window again. :)

Just beaten by Ryan, what he said. ;)

If you are using OSX surely a little kill -9 action will stop the app before it saves its configuration info?

I think I remember a similar problem with Thunderbird, but I believe they fixed it, probably because it happened to someone who actually used and developed Thunderbird.
