How do I remove Apple Mail from my hard drive? Over 10,000 downloaded into my mail and continues to freeze up--- I just want to use my gmail account directly
Stop opening Mac Mail. If you don't open Mail it won't download anything.
Not sure what you mean by "Use my Gmail Directly". Do you mean logging into Gmail on your Web Browser?
I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape. I thought it would be better to take it off if I could
Navigate to your Mail application support folder, and simply delete all of its contents. It will complitely reset your mail app
Then install another Email program and make sure it is set to be the default Email program. I personally never cared for Mac Mail.
There are a few other Email programs to chose from.
Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Accounts: turn OFF gmail, or delete the account.
Download the Gmail "app" and use it: it starts the browser to the gmail account.
That is all.
