That technique won't work on MSEdge, because in the App database there is an In-box bit which is set to 1. Even setting the In-box bit to 0 on MSEdge, doesn't allow the un-installer to work properly. But there are enough of these articles around, it's possible this one can be removed and/or reinstalled. The first question would be, whether you can remove the account info and at least stop Mail from fetching new mails. Paul |

Paul I've "terminated" the Mail app via Setings and denied permissions to all "App Permissions" in the "Mail/Calendar" section. We'll see how this works............. |

There is no need to have uninstall programs of any sorts. Remnants in Windows registry doesn't do any harm to your machine and they occupy almost zero disk space or 1 kb maximum. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |
