How to deactivate the embedded email system in Windows 8.1

0

I have an Windows 8.1 tablet. I login into Windows with my Google Apps e-mail (read Gmail account).

It automatically picked up my e-mail creds and now is downloading e-mails to my machine.

Well, I see that these take up space. I don't use anything other then gmail web interface. It there a way I can get rid of default e-mail client or have it not download my e-mails and not notify me?

You can always uninstall the application itself. – Ramhound – 2014-04-21T18:56:32.817

Which application is it? For me it's Windows Embedded Email Client. I doubt it can be uninstalled without any hacks. – Maxim V. Pavlov – 2014-04-21T19:06:39.493

Are you using an embedded version of windows because that's not a typical application on the full versions of Windows 8.1 or Windows RT – Ramhound – 2014-04-21T19:16:45.167

I used word "embedded" in a sense of "Build-in". I am using Windows 8.1 Pro. – Maxim V. Pavlov – 2014-04-21T19:19:20.280

You can remove all Windows Store/Modern UI applications have you tried to remove the application it can always be reinstalled. The application you want to remove is the mail application currently running/suspended – Ramhound – 2014-04-21T19:23:01.960

Uninstall the people, calendar and mail app from Windows 8.1

Select on of the 3 tiles on start screen, do a rightclick/tab and select "uninstall".
