How do I remove/disable the Windows 8 Mail App

How can I remove the Windows 8 Mail App from my computer? I am unable to select another mail provider and I absolutely do not want to get my Passport aka Windows Live ID involved with my mail under any conditions whatsoever.

I have a vbs script that installed another mail provider in IE9 but it doesn't seem to work with Windows 8/IE 11.   I want this mail application off my machine entirely.

How do I accomplish that?    &

You don't need to un-install it but if you still want to simply right click the mail tile in start>uninstall.

Actually, I did need to un-install it.  Now that I removed removed the Mail App, my mailto script for Yahoo! works just fine.

Thank you for the tip.
