Removing Duplicate Mail App's?

I have now installed the mBox Mail App - as a Hotmail user - without any problems - so far!

Mail icons on the Home Page have been exchanged but would like to Disable or Remove the iPad OE Mail App to avoid duplication of rec'd mail.

Is this possible? If so what do I need to do. I have been reluctant to 'mess about' with Mail Settings for fear of losing both!

Thank you,

Paul.

iPad 64GB, iOS 4

You can't remove the Apple Apps from the iPad they are fixed.

Thank you Ian.

Is it therefore possible to 'disable' the OE mail app thereby stopping any further mail being so delivered?

Go into your Mail settings and disable the accounts you don't want to use.

OK now I need you to be a little more specific please!

I only have the one Account - Hotmail - currently delivering mail to two Apps the Apple mail & the mMail box.

Which items and where exactly should I disable to achieve my aim?

My apologies if I have misunderstood your suggestion but like I said: better getting it twice than not at all!! 🙂

In the Setting area on the iPad there is the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings.
Go into your account that is used for the Mail in your Apple Email account and turn the Mail option off.

The other Mail App you have I assume has it's own settings for your email account, you should not touch these.

Your kind assistance is very much appreciated.
