Some Apple apps such as Safari re installed as part of the computer's operating system and can not be removed as they are write protected. I am not sure, but I think that Mail is in that category. I suggest that you simply remove the Mail icon from the Dock by dragging it to the Trash and then not using it. It can reside in your Applications folder unused.
