How do I permanently kill the Adroid email Service

[frankos72]

I have made the switch to mail droid. ONe of my gripes was that I was getting double notifications. Then I found the "running services" under the general settings -> applications. I was able to kill the android email service and now I only get maildroid notifications. Until I did a reboot today. Then I started getting both again. It's easy to fix now that I know how but my next thought is, "Is there a way to permanently disable that service, preferably without rooting." I will root if I have to but right now I don't care to go there if I don't have to.

On GMail you can go to settings and turn off notifications, on the Email app (the Samsung one) you can go to the settings and disable both, the notifications and mail downloads.

That should take care of that.

just remove your email account. then there's nothing to check therefore the email app is not active
