How to stop Mail from opening

[allan53]

I use emClient as my mail program. I recently switched to a Mac Studio from an iMac. After this switch (not before) Mail keeps opening and asks me to press "continue" to import my mail into Mail or "cancel" (and Maill then quits.) This happens at least once per day.

I know I can't delete Mail but how can I keep it from opening - it isn't set to open when I login?

Try opening mail, go to preferences and select the drop down menu for default mail app. Choose EM Client and close..

Thanks Edward. I did that - still have the same problem.

Thanks Edward. I did that - still have the same problem.

I would try setting mail up and then once set up it should not ask you again.

You can try when the next press "continue" to import my mail into Mail or "cancel" pops up to run
the following :

tell application "Mail" to quit

If that succeeds in closing Mail you can then do something like :

on idle
if application "Mail" is running then
tell application "Mail" to quit
end if
return 1
end idle

Make sure you save the script as a Stay-Open application (i.e., with the option to "Stay open after run handler" enabled).
Perhaps there's a preferences file with some setting to change.
