If you’re an iPhone user, you’ve used Apple’s Mail app at least once. While it’s not a bad app, it’s not great either. Sure, it has the basics covered but if you want to do anything other than read and swipe your messages, the Mail app won’t be for you. There are better, faster, more reliable customers out there. Personally, I like how the official Gmail app works and handles multiple accounts with ease. Some of my colleagues here at Guiding Tech are fans of Inbox because its superior email management system helps turn your emails into to-do lists.
But just installing a new mail client doesn’t mean the default Mail app will stop working and not notify you. Unlike Android, you can’t choose defaults for mail and browsing on iOS. Now that you’ve parted with the Mail app, what do you do? Did you disable the app? Or just turn off notifications? What is best for you? Read to find out.
Disable mail account
If you want to revert the Mail app to a state of nothing, then disabling Mail from your email settings is the way to go. To do this go to Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendartap one of the mail accounts you’ve linked and then turn it off Letters select. Do this again for any other email accounts you’ve linked to your iPhone/iPad.
What does that mean? That means now when you open the Mail app it will ask you to sign in. It does not search for any messages, does not download any messages or notify you about them. The mail app has been muted.
But this can also be a problem for some users. Since you can’t choose a default app for mail in iOS, when you’re in any app and press the Letters from the share menu, it will remain open in Letters app pop-up box. And you won’t be able to share it until you add an email or re-enable the app from settings.
For now, there’s not much you can do but manually copy and paste a photo or text from the app to your favorite third-party mail client.
But if you share a lot, there is a way to have your cake and eat it. Let the mail run in the background without notifying anything. That is exactly what we are about to learn.

Turn off notifications for the mail app
Go Setting -> Notification Centerscroll down and tap Letters application. This screen shows all the ways the Mail app has permission to notify you. The default values are Flags alerts, badge icons and sounds. What you need to do is switch from Flags ARRIVE Do not have inside Warning style box and scroll down and disable every option. This means that the Mail app won’t show up on the lock screen or Notification Center.
Now, just sit back, relax, and eat your metaphorical pie. The new third-party app that you’re signed in to and allowed to send you notifications will do its job and you can continue to use it. So does the Mail app, but doesn’t bother you about it. If you want to share something via email, you can still do that.
If you want to save battery and bandwidth, you can turn off Push notifications from Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings page.
