Ways To Stop Mail App on Mac
Clean Up Mail Attachments Using CleanMyMac
Attachments (such as ZIP files, images, and videos) typically occupy the most space in your inbox. If they were important, you likely saved many of them elsewhere on your Mac when you initially received them. Therefore, unless you are maintaining an email archive for personal or legal purposes, it is generally safe to delete them.
Thankfully, there is a piece of software that allows you to delete email attachments from the local copy while leaving them on the server. CleanMyMac X includes a tool that searches your email for large attachments. Assuming you are using IMAP (which is the default), attachments will remain on the server and only the local copy will be deleted.
Ditch Mail and Use Something Else
Instead of the Mail app, you can use the web-based interface for your email service, such as Gmail on the web for Gmail users. You could also search the Mac App Store or another website for a third-party email client. Other email clients should provide an option to store fewer emails offline and restrict the cache size to a manageable level.
To discontinue use of the Mail app, you must first disable or delete your email accounts. In Mail app, select “Accounts” from the “Mail” menu. Uncheck the Mail option for any accounts for which you no longer wish to use Mail. Mail will no longer download messages from these accounts.
