So I downloaded a mail+nonprime.apk from XDA so I can use Exchange with no security.

Super SU shows ES File Explorer has been granted Root access. I deleted all my mail accounts and wiped data via Titanium.
I opened ES File Explorer and turned on Root Explorer and rebooted the phone. I went into ES, went to /system/app and tried to delete mail.apk and it won't let me. It says read-only file system. I can't replace it with the renamed, modified mail.apk. I went to the file properties and put a check in every box in permissions and still cannot delete it.

What do I need to do?!!? :thinking: Dang it!!!! :mad:
