I deleted the mail app from my phone and ipad; it's only on my Mac. I deleted ALL emails from the address associated with icloud. I deleted all emails on icloud.com. Emptied the trash and junk files. Months ago I changed my icloud settings to only backup photos. On my Mac, when I go to prferences, then icloud the only boxes checked are photos and keychain.
After all of this, mail is still taking up space in icloud. How do I remove mail from icloud?
