My mail app keeps opening and popping up at random times, sometimes when I’m not even receiving any new messages. I have a MacBook Air 2017. This became annoying when I’m watching a movie or doing something full screen and the mail app opens, dividing the screen. When I close it, it often opens up again, just seconds after I closed this. Often this happens 3-4 times in a row. I don’t know how to turn this off.

If youuse Gmail, there is a bug that causes Mail's window to open occasionally.
Try using the yellow (Minimize) button to close the Mail window instead of the red (Close) button. In Dock system preference you can enable "Minimize windows into application icon" to avoid creating an extra dock icon.
Uninstall Google by removing it from the list of email service providers. Follow Remove an email account in Add or remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support.
If you are using Google as your email service provider, that's the way Google wants your Mac to work.
Okay. How do I turn it off?
