I would very much appreciate an iOS 7 stripping of Mail.app. I've developed this aversion to opening up the app, and if I do by accident, it's a panicked scramble to quit. It's bloated and clunky. I would consistently get connection errors, it would randomly decide to re-sync all of my mail attachments, and more. I've been on Sparrow for a year or so now and have had zero problems. It's funny, across all of my Apple devices, I don't use any of the native mail apps for one reason or another. On iOS, I use Mailbox.
- tomphoolery 13y agoIn Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, there's a section called ACCOUNTS. Click on all of them and turn "Mail" off. This way you'll still get everything else in Calendars, Contacts, et. al., but when Mail.app opens it will be empty.

- newman314 13y agoThe problem is that most (all?) mail apps other than the default Mail app on iOS do not properly spawn when you are in another app and choose the Send as Email option. I use the Gmail app for most of my mail and Mail for work Exchange. I've caught myself multiple times inadvertently trying to send a funny article using work email. Ugh.
- malandrew 13y agoThis requirement that certain app functionalities may only be provided by Apple's own apps needs to be challenged in court via a class action suit so that they may be forced to unbundle these. These apps should be deletable and you should be able to programmatically assign their responsibilities to another application of your choosing. We've had this capability on the desktop forever. There is not pro-consumer argument Apple could make for denying a setting that lets you change this.
