Mail's been such a clunker I've moved over to Thunderbird.
However, Mail is still loading an email account, when I have deleted all the accounts and even the files in the Library/ Mail folder (and yes, I'd backed them up to external HD just in case).
I use POP and MobileMe, but it's the MMe that keeps 'returning'.

When you say "Mail is still loading," do you mean it is starting up when you log in? If so, there are two ways to stop that.
If Mail is still in your dock, right or control click on the icon and then uncheck Options/Open at Login. Then go ahead and remove the icon from the dock. (Options/Remove from Dock)
Or, go to System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and remove Mail from the list if it is there.
Some programs with built-in email links to Mail may require setting changes in their preferences.
This is what you need to do..Mail > Preferences > General > Default email reader: Outlook or Thunderbird or whatever service you choose..
The end..and you are welcome
How do I disable Mail?
