All iPhones come pre-installed with a "Mail" application. Customers can connect their email accounts to this app, making it easy to manage incoming and outgoing messages. Although the Mail app itself cannot be removed, you can disable your email account so it is no longer connected to the app, or you can remove the account all together.
