I'm using outlook, and have already disabled sync for all my emails in the apple settings. But the mail app still pops up every time i receive a new email. How do i completely disable this app and prevent it from opening?
MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)
Mail is an integral part of the OS and cannot be "disabled" per se.
If your mail is opening, it does so because you have active accounts. Remove the accounts and mail goes dormant. Without accounts there's nothing for mail to do.
If you have a 3rd party apps that invokes mail, that's a problem with the app. Maybe a default setting of some kind.
If that's not happening, try are restart. If that fails try a safe start: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Hi,
Isn't it working that System Preferences > Users & Groups > your account > delete mail.app from Login Items or check Hide for mail.app?
Hi, it was indeed a third party extension i was using invoking the app. I've resolved the issue thank you all!
how do i disable the default apple mail app?
