Hi,
I have 2 macbooks. I use the same apple id on both the devices. I want to use the Mail.app on only one mac, how can I ensure that mail downloads the mails on only one device and not both.
I go to the internet accounts section in system preferences and enable mail from google, but I want that only on one device. It would be nice if someone could help me out.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
On the Mac where you don't want to receive emails, go to Mail/Preferences/Accounts, and delete all the accounts.

Thanks for that Eric.
