You do not have to log in to have system caches cleared when you see Safeboot in red (upper right corner.)

No go forget about it—Reboot as normal.

Quit Mail if it launches. When you go to re-launch Mail— hold the shift key down for a fresh launch of that app...

Check you Mail settings

Open Mail.app from the menu bar select Mail>Settings>Privacy disable:

Protect Mail Activity

Hide IP address

Block all remote content

compare your results, reboot if necessary.

I am trying to boot into Safe Mode but I can't for the life of me find where I can delete my password to get into Safe Mode. It looks like it is going to happen, but then requires a password when I am holding down the shift key and it won't enter correctly unless I take my finger off the shift key.

I can work around Apple Mail but truly loved when I had it. I am quite frustrated at this point; I like all hardware and software working correctly.
