Force quitting the application doesn't work? Then you might also try
opening the Terminal and typing:

ps -ax

Take note of Mail's PID (Process ID) - which is the number at the left,
before all the other info and name of the process. Then type:

kill PID

If that doesn't work, type:

kill -9 PID

That's a sure kill and guaranteed to take down a rogue process :-)
