So they are keeping the Mail app, but changing it so you can't send or receive email. That seems pretty pointless. Just remove it from Windows altogether and be done with it.
I’m sure there is a hidden dependency from the file system or something…
Calendar depends on it. Even in windows 11, mail and calendar accounts in settings don't function right if mail (& calendar) is removed
I'm reasonably certain they are not aware of how to remove anything from windows.
Explains why control panel and settings are both still a thing like a decade after they said they'd be removing the former.
