Thank you. I turned off notification. Now when I clicked the letter icon at the bottom task bar, mails that I received are still there. Is there a safe way to delete those without deleting them from the server?

It will depends on your email configuration.
If you're using a POP3 account, messages from the mail server are downloaded to your email client and deleting emails on Windows 10 Mail should not delete mail on your server.

If you're using a IMAP that syncs your email client with the server, messages deleted from Windows 10 Mail, will be deleted from the server.
You could configure your mail to server to keep emails even if deleted from the mail client (Windows 10 Mail).

An easy way to test this your settings is by sending a test email and deleting it. See if it gets deleted on the mail server.
