How do I set Yahoo Mail as my default instead of Gmail?

[AC Question]

I've had yahoo mail since the beginning of time and all my information past and present are stored there. I only want Yahoo mail however my Samsung S4 will not allow me to forward mail or reply, etc. It comes back as message failed to send. I would like to totally uninstall Gmail (no, I don't want to hear any more virtues to switching, tyvm) but from what I've read it's built into my phone. So, is there a way to at least disable it or make yahoo mail my default. Thank you.

You should be able to go to settings, applications, all apps, find the Gmail app and disable it.
