How to disable mail app on macbook pro OS 13

To answer your question directly, you cannot disable the Mail app and you cannot delete it either. The only thing you can do is not use it. Even if you could it would not save any space or take up less memory or resources as it is part of macOS. So it would be in your interest to troubleshoot and fix it.

I never use the mail app. I use gmail instead.

The mail app is non responsive so how can I disable it?

Then, leave it alone and do not use it.

The Application itself can Not be Removed or Deleted as it is Baked Right Into the Operating System.

The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User period.

Non-responsive how?

Are you saying the Mail.app does not launch?

Mail.app launches but at that point it does nothing and is frozen?

If it is open and frozen, you can force quit any app from the >Force Quit

—You can try a Holding the Shift key down to Launch Mail and see if you get any further..

no insight or resolve

—You can try SafeBoot Mode log in and see if Mail will respond.

You can’t. All you can do is fix it. Millions of Mac users use Mail without issues.
