Rebooting your email program can resolve many issues. Here's how: Close the program fully so it’s not running in the background. On a Windows PC, use the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to end the application process. On a Mac, use the Force Quit option (Cmd+Option+Esc). After closing, restart your computer to clear out any residual problems. Once the system reboots, open your email program again. This often refreshes the application and fixes common glitches.
