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. You can use the built-in Mail app on your iPhone or iPad to access 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.
