1. Right-click the Mail icon in dock. See OPTIONS. Make sure "Open at Login" is not checked.

2. If already unchecked, do this:

2a. Quit all apps, Mail first.
2b. Shutdown. Wait 1 full minute. Reboot.
2c. If mail still opens, you probably have what is called a "daemon" (basically a hidden program). At this point, if you still have an automatic login, it may be time to consult a professional.
