Disable email app that came with phone?

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung 7 and although I am signed in to my gmail account the regular email app is picking up the messages too. I don't want the email app to give me the notifications as my gmail app! How can I disable the email app? I already tried going to settings, apps, and selecting the email app but it only gives the option to force stop. Still doesn't stop it though.

Have you tried removing the account from the default Samsung mail app?

Below is a link showing how to remove an email account from the default mail app or you might be able to turn off notifications from this area as well.
