How to use Intune manager uninstall Windows mail app
Thanks, Rudy_Ooms_MVP My organization is disabled. I have sent an email to the relevant team to ask for permission to enable it before taking any further action.
Sk-73 yeah users tend to click on the mail app instead of the Outlook. I would avoid removing native apps though not to break any basic functionality. I would instead prevent the users from using the app via CA policies or Applock. With some user Ed I always get them to use the browser for non work related mail accounts.
Plus MS is retiring MS store for business.
Hi,aollivierre305 Thanks for replying this post. The reason why we need to remove is because to preventing user self adding not org email acc on corp laptop.
Do u have a diff way to achieve this?Applocker CSP here PRICESLY that (instead of uninstalling you DENY access)

that article was from 2019 so here is the updated OMA-URI node and XML parts to use instead of the ones mentioned in the article but beside that follow everything in that article. You DO NOT need to start the App Identity service as it will automatically start (even though by default it is stopped and set to manual)
OMA-URI (CASE SENSITIVE) ./Vendor/MSFT/AppLocker/ApplicationLaunchRestrictions/Grouping/StoreApps/Policy
XML part to use a string value

</RuleCollection>Hi, aollivierre305 I just change the GUID, the reason why I change is because of now the sticky note and Company portal couldn't launch.
Let's see how it goes.
