[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1902125, member: 83420"] I was also wondering if deleting the Mail app would necessarily delete the archived messages as these are located elsewhere on the Mac. It seems "logical" that it should delete these, but deleting the app often leaves behind a lot of stuff. It might be a lot easier if the OP re-established the Gmail account. Then in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, unchecks "enable this account". Thus no more messages will appear. Then in the Sidebar, delete the contents of all the mailboxes including Archive. Once everything is gone, remove the account, but keep the Mail app. What think you, Jake? Ian [/QUOTE]
