Mail is the usual transliteration but not a correct one — English letters cannot carry this sound. Worth learning the real pronunciation rather than leaving it for spare time. Listen: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQKhvuU4_Y39GN8Bp26Oi0sEKMizaYXeE

ਮੈਲੁ in Gurbani

ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਮੈਲੁ ਭਰ ਨਾਲਿ ॥

O my mind, you are filled with the filth of ego.

ਮੈਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਜੀਉ ॥

Without the Name of Vaheguru, the soul is polluted.

ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਸੁਣਿ ਮੈਲੁ ਗਵਾਏ ॥ ਸਹਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ॥

Listening to Gurbani, filth is washed off; and Vaheguru’s Name naturally abides within the mind.
