How do I remove/disable the Windows 8 Mail App

How can I remove the Windows 8 Mail App from my computer? I am unable to select another mail provider and I absolutely do not want to get my Passport aka Windows Live ID involved with my mail under any conditions whatsoever.
I have a vbs script that installed another mail provider in IE9 but it doesn't seem to work with Windows 8/IE 11.   I want this mail application off my machine entirely.
How do I accomplish that?

You don't need to un-install it but if you still want to simply right click the mail tile in start>uninstall.

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Windows Mail App not Auto Syncing

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Windows Mail app on both my laptop and Surface RT. I'm running 8.1 on both and I've recently ditched Gmail in favor of Outlook.com. Right now my Gmail accounts are forwarding to Outlook. However, I still sign in to
    my computers using my Gmail account (not sure if that matters). Ever since I eliminated my Gmail accounts from the Windows mail app, the app will not automatically sync with Outlook.com when I receive messages. The only time I get updates is if I manually
    sync. Yes, I have set the email account to "download as items arrive". I have restarted my computers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail app. Not sure what else to do. Help! 

    Hi,
    Accrording to your description,the issue occurred on both your laptop and Surface RT.
    So,I think the issue isn't related to Windows mail app.
    In addition to ZigZag3143x mentioned, I suggest you create a new mail account to test this issue.
    If it works,I suggest you remove your outlook.com account and re-add it.

  • Windows Mail app in LAN-Network "e-mail address not available"

    Hello,
    I have a Problem with the Windows Mail app at Windows 8.1. Everything works normally at home, but when I try to update mails at university I get the message "e-mail address not available", but Hotmail works fine. I have four more addresses synced,
    none of these is updated while I am logged in at university.
    So when I start my computer, I have to log in in the University network via IE, there is also a timeout after an hour or so.
    I have to go access my mails in the browser, but that is quite bothersome with four e-mail addresses.
    Anyone who has an idea how to solve this?
    UPDATE: OneDrive does also not sync. It says all Files are up to date, but there are not. If I try to download files via Onedrive App, I get the error message "Currently, the file can't be opened. An Error ocurred with OneDrive."

    Hi,
    How about your problem now? Is your Mail APP still works properly in your home? According to your description, it's should your School network problem. Is your IE enabled any network Proxy when you using it at school?

  • Encoding problems in email while on Windows Mail app

    Hello.
    I have a question concerning email and encoding problems in the Windows Mail App in Windows 8.1.  I have encountered a problem with an email I received, while reading, I see strange ASCII characters in one email.  I have never encountered it in
    my web browsers nor Gmail, just the Mail App.
    I was referred to come here when I had asked a similar question there:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-ecoms/strange-foreign-ascii-characters-appearing-in/911f8a44-c302-4fa1-bcaa-3297b32d9120
    I don't know which forum to go to so I picked here.
    Is there any way that it can be resolved.  I tried to troubleshoot, nothing worked; I even synched, to no avail.
    I look forward to a response.
    JB

    Hi JB,
    The responder on answers was a bit confused. The MSDN forums are for developers to discuss writing their own apps. We cannot help with problems using Windows or its built-in apps.
    If the folks on answers cannot help then you may need to open a support incident. See
    http://support.microsoft.com , or the folks on answers may be able to direct you to the specific page for the Windows Mail app.

  • Any way to remove or disable the e-mail program?

    I'm using a few ipads in a public setting and we're trying to lock it down to a company app as much as possible. I found how to restrict Safari, so customer can't use it for browsing, but I haven't found any way to delete or restrict the e-mail app - so if a customer gets to the home page, they have been able to add an e-mail address, and believe me, they are not smart enough to delete it, so they walk away with all their account info signed in - nice huh....

    You can't delete email but you can configure the iPad so that a password is required to make it functional. There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide. Pages 147 and 148 address your specific concerns.

    By the way, a more extensive version of the User Manual is available at no charge through iBooks.

  • How can I remove my old e-mail I no longer use  also it does not have my birth date correct how can I change it?

    How can I remove an old e-mail that I am no longer using?
    How can I correct my birthdate?

    If you have an email account that you want to delete, go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Email Account>Delete account.
    If you have on old Apple ID that keeps popping up when you update apps, that old ID will always be tied to those apps and you must continue to use that ID and password when you update those apps.
    If you want to completely sign out of that old account, and nothing on your iPad is still tied to it, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores. Tap on the old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the new one
    For the incorrect birthday go to here.

  • How to remove "notes" link in Mail.app

    I just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, now that there is a version of PGPMail which works with Mail 4.0. The new Mail.app is showing a "Notes" item, which I've never seen before, and which I don't want. Call me strange, but I use Mail for email, not as a notepad.
    I've found several hints telling how to make Mail.app store them on the local hard drive instead of in an IMAP account, but nothing I've done is making that "Reminders > Notes" item in the folder list go away. Again, I don't want to see it at all.
    I was able to delete the one RSS feed they insist on subscribing me to, and that made the RSS group go away. Is it possible to just turn off the "Notes" functionality entirely? It's a feature I don't want, I won't use, and to be honest I don't understand why Apple added it to Mail.app to begin with.

    No, Default iOS Apps cannot be removed. You can however remove the account from Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars so the Mail app no longer fetches your email and as such no longer beeps when there is mail.

  • My iPhone mail app deletes emails from my hotmail. How can I get my MacBook Air mail app to do the same?

    Hi
    When using Mail on my MacBook Air (I don't open it often), i receive hundrends of emails through it, even if those messages have been deleted from my iPhone/hotmail.
    When i set up Mail on my iPhone there was an option that enabled deleted/read messages to also be deleted/read on hotmail automatically.
    I can't work out how to join up my MacBook mail with this too? Anybody know what I mean and can help??
    Thanks

    Comcast is POP email. I have it as well. POP email does not sync across devices. If I read an email on my iPad it will appear as unread on my Mac in the Mac Mail App when I launch it.That's how POP accounts work. The emails will not sync across devices.

  • I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

    I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

    The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
    The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.
