Does deleting mail app delete emails

When you delete the Mail app on your device, it doesn't directly delete the emails stored on your device or on the email server. Here's what happens:

1. Local emails: If you have downloaded emails to your device using the Mail app, deleting the app will not delete those emails. They will still be stored on your device, and you can access them using other email clients or apps.
2. Cloud-based emails: If you use a cloud-based email service like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo, deleting the Mail app will not delete your emails stored on the email server. Your emails will still be accessible through the email service's website or other email clients.
3. IMAP or POP accounts: If you use an IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) or POP (Post Office Protocol) account, deleting the Mail app will not delete your emails stored on the email server. However, if you have set up your account to store emails locally on your device, deleting the app might delete those local copies.

To be safe, it's a good idea to:

• Back up your emails regularly using the email service's built-in backup features or third-party apps.
• Use a cloud-based email service, which allows you to access your emails from any device with an internet connection.
• Set up your email account to store emails on the email server instead of locally on your device.

Remember, deleting the Mail app will not delete your emails, but it's always a good idea to be cautious and take steps to protect your email data.
