Cannot delete mail account, it keeps coming back

I am trying to delete a mail account on my mac book air, with OS X 10.7.5.  Every time I delete it, it goes away until I restart the Mail application.  Then it reappears and reloads the email into my in box.  It is the IMAP account i set up with MobileMe and susequently iCloud
I have removed my connection to iCloud through the system preferences so I have no idea how it is reattaching itself to this account.
Any and all help will be most appreciated!
Dave

Turn off Mail and notes syncing in system preferences > iCloud.

  • You delete mail and it keeps coming back

    I need HELP ! 
              I went through my email accounts and deleted several hundred unwanted emails or at least I thought I did. Even while I was
    in the process of deleting these, the incoming mail bar would show [ example ] 2 of 3,234 incoming mails. Now I have been through
    this process two or three times and the same thing keeps happening!! What can I do ? What is causing this ? Should I just change
    my email address or would this stop this ?

    Turn off, and on your device again; and how are you deleting the picture?b From where :O

  • HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

    I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back.  Very frustrating  !!  

    Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password.  This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
    Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
    Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

    After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.

  • How to delete unwanted databases that keep coming back?

    Hi,
    Besides the usual Google mail database I have somehow acquired 2 other databases that I want to get rid off because I don't trust them.
    The first is the one a lot of other people seem to have as well RLDGUID and the other one is from a blog I visited. It's called sql-evercookie.
    I know how to delete the databases but when i do that they just pop back up. I have tried a lot of things, there isn't much you can do, I delete all my cookies, cache and history, rebooted the iPad. Nothing works. There must be a way to get rid of them right?
    I especially upset about the sql one. It's from a friend's blog who hired a company to design her a ' professional' blog. Why that has to include putiing databases on people's devices I don't know but I sure will ask. In the mean time I want it gone.
    Anyone has any ideas?

    So you never received a response to this?  Did you ever get an answer. I just found some on my original...not ipad2.
    Thanks!

  • Someone is sending out viruses in my name.  theklamccartneuy38625 is the email that keeps trying to send me messages.  I delete it, but it keeps coming back?  Any suggestions?

    When this happens, it may not be your system that is sending out the bad emails. They may have picked up your email address from someone else's Address Book and are sending out emails and spam using forged email headers.
    If you or someone you know can get hold of one of the bad emails, view the full headers, and you can sometimes see where it came from. You can try complaining to the ISP that runs that block of addresses.
    You may need to "cut-and-paste" the full headers into a new email and send it to the webmaster of the ISP hosting that block of addresses.

  • Mail keeps coming back

    My mail account is going crazy! When I delete a message it keeps coming back, and back, and back. Today I had 650 new messages - all old ones that I have already read. I have no clue what's going on. I have a yahoo account that is set up through Mail...can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Ok, so I put my preferences to what you said - still doesn't work (I did not have Remove copy from saver checked). By old I mean 9 messages from Sept 17th-yesterday....they just keep repeating themselves over and over and over....so it ends up 30 of the same message - x 9 messages. I haven't received anything new on my yahoo account since yesterday. I do know I received a mail posting from a Gay Morgan RE: Response needed regarding Statement $47312. I had no clue who that was - but opened it in case it was something for my hubby. It had a Word document attached to it that I did NOT open. A while later I got a message from Yahoo mail about my virus protection not being available for the Gay Morgan message.....but I thought I couldn't get a virus on a mac?? I talked with a mac dude over the phone and he said it didn't sound like a virus...but I was too cheap to pay the $50 to have him help me!
    thanks for helping!

    2. I have just upgraded to OS X 10.6.2
    Anyone has a solution? Please help... the non delectable IMAP is very annoying.

  • Macbook Pro - mail account. Deleted messages keep coming back!

    Hey,
    I've deleted several messages (they were also in my drafts) and they keep popping back up in my sent mail and inbox, sometimes multiple copies of the same message. I want those messages gone. They keep coming back!!!! How do I fix this?

    In Mail you have to move the message to gmail trash. Just deleting the message assigns it the delete label but doesn't delete it. You can truly delete the messages in web gmail, however.
    I hope this helps.
