Why can't I delete my email account from my iPhone, Why can't I delete my email account from my iPhone

I want to delete my company email, but when i got to settings>mail, i do not see a delete email account button. All it says is "These seetings are installed by the profile from your company."

Ah...there's your answer. You're gonna have to delete the profile first before you can delete the account.

    Hi, is this POP or IMAP?
    In Mail Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors, what are settings for remove from server & such?

  • Can't delete email from one of three Mail accounts. Why not?

    Haven't changed any settings. Was working fine but now nothing happens when I highlight a message and hit delete. Can send and receive messages without problem. Can't drag message to Trash either. Only one of three accounts seems to be affected. Tried to rebuild the mailbox but when I highlight the account in question, the rebuild option doesn't highlight. Can anyone help with the problem?

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • TS3899 I cannot get my emails to send from my IPad. I can send on my desktop computer. That's why I think it is within my IPad that I have issues. I tried to delete the account and readd it.  It still won't send. I can receive email to it. What else can I

    Does anyone have any other suggestions

    Yes, their email is powered by Yahoo! who is having critical issues with their email products. It's been all over the news so I'm surprised you didn't see it.

  • How can I delete an iCloud-Account that uses a not anymore existing email-adress?

    Months ago my GMX-Account got blocked because it was hijacked by some SPAM-sending-********.
    I recognized that when I was not able to log into my iTunes account and buy stuff anymore.
    I changed the emailadress by setting up a new Account with a new ID I used from that day on - problem solved.
    Plus: I deleted the email-adress as I was sick of it anyways - problem solved, too.
    I changed all my IDs on iPhone and iPad to the new ID, except the one of the iCloud.
    During that time I had already decided that I did not want to use my iClound storage anyways so I did not work on how to change the emailadress.
    I want to use it now - and that is, where the problem started today:
    I tried to change the adress, it is grey, cannot be changed.
    I tried to log in with the emailadress, iPhone tells me: wrong password (yes, I already tried everything I ever used)
    I tried deleting the account: no way, needs password.
    That would not be a problem BUT:
    I could not use iForgot because the emailadress does not exist anymore.
    I could not use the security-questions because I. Simply. Do. Not. Remember. The. Answers. -.-  
    I DID remember the Username though.
    So I logged in and changed the emailadresses.
    With the new emailadresses I set up I was able to change the security-questions.
    So THAT problem is solved.
    Problem is: iCloud-emailadress is still the same and grey.
    Trolled by technology and own stupidity/forgetfulness, I guess.
    So: I have everything on my new emailadress BUT the iCloud storage which I am not able to use because I cannot change a thing because I forgot the password and the emailadress is no longer existing.
    How do I solve that problem?
    Anyone?
    Best

  • HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id.  I cannot verify the email sent.  I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account.  How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id.  I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either.  How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either. ".
    Why can't you verify it?
    Do you not receive the verification email address?
    If problem contact iTunes by:

  • Help! I can't delete my neighbors email from my iPhone 5 icloud account after I sold it to him after restoring it to factory settings.  Now he's on my iCloud account and it cannot be deleted.  Its impossible.  help. It seems the first one cant get delete

    Help Please, I sold my iphone 4 to my neighbor after I restored it to factory settings.  I just bought a new iphone 5 and decided to check out the icloud "stuff' so that I can use 'find my iphone' because I have 2 kids.  I went to check out my icloud on my imac and in the address bar put icloud.com then signed in, double clicked on mail went accounts then clicked on the gear in the right hand corner and there it was.  My neighbor had his email in the icloud and there absolutely was no way to delete his info off of my new phone.  I guess once the first person enters their info you absolutely cant get rid of it.  you can get rid of aliases but just not the original one. WHY!!  Is there any brilliant, wonderful,generous person out there that would know how to delete him from my account.  The genius bar said that they've never seen this before.  If someone can help I'm taking the info to the apple stores that I went to so that I can teach them how to do it.  Of course, I will tell them who showed me. I give you my word.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • I have 2 email addresses set up on my iphone 5, 1 can send mail and the other can't... have tried deleting and adding the account, no luck, have tried all suggestions... anyone help?

    I have recently purchased the iphone 5S and have two AOL email accounts set up on it. They could both receive and send mail on the first day, but from the second day only 1 can send mail (both still receive). I get an message saying "Unable to send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." This has been the response now for 3 days and suddenly this morning, I was able to send an email from this account, but only the one and now it's back to that same message. I have deleted and added the account again, using various methods. I even reset my phone and set it all up again from beginning with no luck. It is very frustrating and I am unsure why I can't send from both accounts, especially being that they are the same provider. I have read forums and it appears many have this same problem and I wondered if anyone has had it recently on this phone and how they fixed it. Someone said just use the AOL app to send from this account, yes that can be done, but it's inconvenient having to sign in all the time when i have a mail app that should work automatically. Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

    I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
    I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
    As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

  • How can I Delete a MobileMe Email Account and Kill Duplicate Messages?

    When I select "All Inboxes" on my iPhone 4s, I see duplicates of each and every message I receive. Furthermore, the duplicate can't be deleted and I get an error message informing so! I suspect this phenomenon is occurring because I have both an iCloud and a MobileMe account. I want to cancel the MobileMe one.
    Here's the deal:
    My iPhone 4s lists three email accounts, including a "MobileMe" one that I want to delete because I believe it is delivering duplicate messages. However, I can't seem to figure out how to delete the MobileMe's email account or, for that matter, MobileMe itself. Apple support screens refer to cancelling a MobileMe account but are not clear on how to actually do it.
    1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
    2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
    3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
    4. I want to keep the iCloud and Bellsouth/Yahoo accounts but delete the MobileMe one but I can find no way on this screen or any other iPhone 4s screen to do so. Nor do I see any path to do so in iTunes. And the MobileMe account doesn't even show up in the Apple email app on the laptop to which I sync my iPhone.
    If I go to www.me.com and log into my MobileMe account, there is no apparent way to disable, delete or otherwise cancel it. Why?
    I am convinced that the simultaneous presence of both iCloud and MobileMe accounts is responsible for the double email messages when I select to view "All inboxes" on my iPhone. (A workaround is to simply select just one of the accounts, say, the iCloud one. Then I see only one copy of each message. That's OK but surely there is some way to kill off this redundant MobileMe account AND the duplicate messages, yes???

    First, thanks for the reply. And, I believe you are exactly right that the names are the same. However, when I go (on my iPhone) as you suggest to "Settings," "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," only two accounts are showing; my Mac account and my Bellsouth one. If I select either, I get an option to delete but the duplicate "MobileMe" account does not appear. It only shows up, as described above, if I:
    1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
    2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
    3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
    It's nutso, I admit, but true. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

  • Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

    You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

  • TS3276 Beginning on December 23rd I was no longer able to receive incoming emails on my computer.  They appear on the server.  My iphone can retrieve them, but my mail program on my computer can't see them.  I tried deleting and recreating account.  Didn'

    I'd been using the program on the same computer for years.  I've tried just about everything now, backing up my email boxes to my desktop and deleting them, creating a new account and deleting the old one.  I've checked the behaviors.  I've dumped tons of old emails.  Help.  There is one other thing that was happening in the months before that I didn't realize.  As my computer downloaded the incoming files, they were not being erased from the server.  I don't know why.  I hadn't changed any settings.  The Rep from my server company insisted it was that I'd maxed out the program or something was corrupt and recreating the account would help.  It didn't.  When I'd done everything else and backed up everything, I also tried deleting the Cache in the Finder.  No difference.  Help.

    How much mail are we talking about here?  Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
    Who is the mail provider?  Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
    Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
    As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests.  Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
    You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
    If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path.  Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
    That OS X version is extremely old.  (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.)

  • Why can't I get my icloud account to register my new email on my iPad. I have managed to change it with iTunes and Apple.

    I bought an iPad and opened up an iCloud account now iCloud won't register my new email address on my iPad! Why?

    Okay, got it working!
    My process was pretty straightforward (of course, everything is, in hindsight):
    (1) Go to my user library folder
    (2) Do a spotlight search for the word "mail"
    (3) Delete something that looks like it might be related to/possibly interfering with Mail's operation
    (4) Try Mail
    I repeated the above process a couple of times and poof, Mail started to add my accounts!  First, my Gmail account, and then, after disabling and re-enabling my iCloud account inside System Preferences > iCloud, my iCloud account too!
    The file I believe was the lynchpin was located here:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
    Give that a shot if you can't get your iCloud/Gmail email to show up in Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) under OS X 10.9.1, despite the accounts seemingly adding succesfully in System Preferences.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: This may delete mail you have stored locally, so please do not attempt if you store your email locally (i.e. POP email setups).  I think for IMAP setups (e.g. iCloud & Gmail) this is just deleting the cached versions of the emails, so they'll just get rebuilt once the email is downloaded from the server again.
