If you no longer use that email service provider, you can remove it from Mail.


Mail menu > Preferences... > Accounts


Select the unused Account and click the [—] (minus) button below the account list.

I use Gmail through Chrome browser on my Mac. I used to use the mail app ages ago. When I click on a link to send an email on the Mac desktop it defaults to a provider that I don't have access to. As a result I'm in a loop. I've looked at suggestions on Google, but everything leads back to the same dead end. Thank you for responding.
