On a Mac:

  2. Select the account you want to disable Apple Mail for (e.g., iCloud, Exchange, or Gmail).
  3. Click the "Account Information" tab.
  4. Uncheck the box next to "Mail" to disable Apple Mail for that account.

Alternatively, you can also disable Apple Mail by:

  1. Going to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  2. Selecting the account you want to disable Apple Mail for.
  3. Clicking the "Edit" button next to "Account Type".
  4. Selecting "None" as the account type.

On an iOS device:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud (or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars).
  2. Tap on the account you want to disable Apple Mail for (e.g., iCloud, Exchange, or Gmail).
  3. Toggle off the switch next to "Mail" to disable Apple Mail for that account.

Note that disabling Apple Mail will not delete your existing emails or contacts. You can still access your emails and contacts using other email clients or apps on your device.

Also, if you're using Apple Mail to sync your emails with other devices or services, disabling Apple Mail may affect those syncs.
