Hi,

I need to disable the windows default mail client in Windows 10 system. I have applied the GPO to disable this for all users but can't able to disable this app, policy is applied but still able to access and configure the email from the mail client.

Policy path:

User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Mail

Scope:
User

Thanks

Hi Abdul!

You can remove Windows email application in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) with script in Powershell

Write-Output "Removing Windows 10 Mail Appx Package"
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscomminicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscomminicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage -Allusers
if(Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps -AllUsers){
Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers - Verbose -ErrorAction Continue
}
else{
Write-Output "Mail app is not installed for any user"
}
if(Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.Displayname -match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"}){
Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online |Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers -Verbose -ErrorAction Continue
}
else {
Write-Output "Mails app is not installed for the system"
}

Save the script in the next path: C:\windows\system32\windowsPowerShell\V1.0\powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file ".\mailremoval.ps1"

In SCCM configuration, watch this vídeo:

Typo-error : it's windowscommunicationsapps not windowscomminicationsapps

Write-Output "Removing Windows 10 Mail Appx Package" Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage -Allusers if(Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps -AllUsers){ Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers - Verbose -ErrorAction Continue } else{ Write-Output "Mail app is not installed for any user" } if(Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object {$.Displayname -match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"}){ Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online |Where-Object {$.DisplayName -Match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers -Verbose -ErrorAction Continue } else { Write-Output "Mails app is not installed for the system" }

This will work

Hi,

I updated the script to also remove the Outlook Mail appx which is also a Mail client for windows.

Write-Output "Removing Windows 10 Mail Appx Package"

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscomminicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscomminicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage -Allusers

Write-Output "Removing Outlook Mail Appx Package"

Get-appxpackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-appxpackage Microsoft.OutlookForWindows | Remove-AppxPackage -Allusers

if(Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps -AllUsers){

Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers - Verbose -ErrorAction Continue

}

else{

Write-Output "Mail app is not installed for any user"

}

if(Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.Displayname -match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"}){

Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online |Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Match "Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers -Verbose -ErrorAction Continue

}

else {

Write-Output "Mails app is not installed for the system"

}

if(Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.OutlookForWindows -AllUsers){

Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.OutlookForWindows -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers - Verbose -ErrorAction Continue

}

else{

Write-Output "Outlook Mail App is not installed for any user"

}

if(Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.Displayname -match "Microsoft.OutlookForWindows"}){

Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online |Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Match "Microsoft.OutlookForWindows"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers -Verbose -ErrorAction Continue

}

else {

Write-Output "Outlook Mail app is not installed for the system"

}
