Some apps might have a few preferences or other files scattered around your Mac. However, it can still be simple to remove these. You may need to delete the app's preferences from your Library folder. In the Mail app on your Mac, select a mailbox in the Mail sidebar. Choose Mailbox Delete Mailbox. If you have problems deleting a mailbox on the server for an IMAP account, contact the provider of your account. When you delete a Smart Mailbox, the messages it displayed remain in their original locations.
