Windows 10: Unwanted reinstallation of Mail

On my first restart after the most recent Windows 10 update either KB5022834 or KB5022729 I suddenly find myself receiving notifications from Mail, despite having uninstalled it a few months ago. I have never used the app or set it up with my details.Is this caused by one of the recent updates?

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

Cannot delete email addresses of scammers on Windows 10 mail

If you're referring to suggested contacts when you are adressing an email, I have used the following (tedious) process) to eliminate unwanted suggestions:
How to clear suggested Outlook.com Contacts in Win 10 Mail App
1. Go to Outlook.com web site, clear all unwanted suggested contacts, then sign out.
To clear any suggested contacts in Outlook.com, begin typing addresses in the To: field of a new message and then click X on unwanted suggestions. They will then no longer appear. When finished, sign out of Outlook.com.
2. In Settings/Apps, reset the Win 10 Mail/Cal App. Wait for taskbar “ripple”.
3. In Settings/Apps, reset the Win 10 People App. Wait for taskbar “ripple”.
4. Reboot the machine.
5. Reinstall the Outlook.com account in the Win 10 Mail App.
6. Restart the Win 10 People App, and answer “yes” to all the access questions.
