use css instead

#divMail1 {
  display: block;
}

#divMail2 {
  display: none;
}
@media print {
  #divMail1 {
    display: none;
  }

  #divMail2 {
    display: block;
  }
}

Do it only with CSS

<head>
        <style type="text/css">

        #printable { display: none; }

        @media print
        {
            #non-printable { display: none; }
            #printable { display: block; }
        }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="non-printable">
            Your normal page contents
        </div>

        <div id="printable">
            Printer version
        </div>
    </body>

Instead of using JavaScript, you can use print.css by adding a media="print". So, in your main CSS, you need to add this:

.print-only {display: none;}
.do-not-print {display: block;}

And in the print.css:

.print-only {display: block;}
.do-not-print {display: none;}

In your case, the code in your main CSS would be:

#divMail1 {display: block;}
#divMail2 {display: none;}

And in the print.css:

#divMail1 {display: none;}
#divMail2 {display: block;}
