Default How do I remove Windows Mail?

I've settled on to Forte-Agent so I want to get rid of Windows Mail
which seems not to appear in the App list in the settings.

Can you remove the accounts ?

"Uninstalling the Mail app will also uninstall the Calendar app
as both are packaged together as Windows communication apps."

Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers

# Look for PackageFullName: microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.5306.42251. 0
# Whatever I missed in the string there, make sure you include the full package name.

Remove-AppxPackage microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.5306.42251. 0
"

Normally, some set of "In-box Apps" can't be removed.
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.

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.............

1903 allows a few more to be removed by right clicking the unwanted tile
(including mail).

Just delete the folders and your problem solved. 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.
