Note: Before deleting the Mail app, make sure you have backed up your email data and settings, as deleting the app will also remove your email accounts and settings.

Also, if you're using macOS High Sierra or later, you may need to use the sudo command with the rm command to delete the app, as the rm command is not allowed to delete system files by default.

After deleting the Mail app, you can reinstall it from the App Store if you need to use it again.
