Cannot remove an e-mail account - no removal tool under account settings

Am using Thunderbird 24.5.0. Not having under account settings a account remove option. I tried to remove an e-mail account, but can not delete, or remove it. I read your solution but no removal option under the drop down box in account settings. lease help

You are not showing only the Account Settings window, it is cut off at the bottom. For example there is no OK or Cancel button. Perhaps this is what you are seeing as well which explains why you cannot see Account Actions.
Try this:
Open Account Settings window and then minimize Thunderbird, so you can only see the Account Settings window
OR drag the Account Settings window to the side or above.
This is what the full Account Settings window should look like. See image.

Remove attachments in Mail fails

Since I first installed Yosemite, I am no longer able to remove attachments in Mail. I use a POP account to download my email from a Microsoft Exchange Server and store the mail with attachment(s) on my iMac. The email plus attachments(s) are now physically in a folder - not the Inbox - on the hard disk of my iMac. They are no longer on the server. I drag (or save) the attachment (no problem) to the desktop or an OS X folder. But now when I try "Remove Attachments" within Mail to discard the attachment, leaving only the email text, the menu choice Messages->Remove Attachments is grey not black and thus unavailable. What is going on? Why does this no longer work? I also have tried dragging the file to one of my iCloud email folder - not the Inbox - but that does not work either. This used to work under Mavericks but no longer. But it should be there because the menu choice still exists. I get this behavior on my iMac at work and also on my iMac at home. Both iMacs are running OS X 10.10.1.
Many thanks to anyone who can help solve this problem.

Just tried it out a little bit more: The problem is related only to mails sent from Mail.app 5.0 in Lion. Mails sent through the mobile me web interface for example behave normally after being synced back to Mail.app. Attachments can be removed from those mails within Mail.app.
Another thing I noticed: The mails that do have the problem do not show the paper-clip symbol in the list of mails on the left side. The paper-clip should appear next to the addressee's name. The mail preview on the right, however, correctly shows that the mail has an attachment and it can be opnened by clicking. I also created a smart mailbox to show only mails that do have an attachment and are in the sent folder: Only the mails sent before installing lion are listed (attachements can be removed) – all lately sent mails are nout found: Obviously something makes Mail.app "forget" that there is an attachment when sending mails in Lion, thus graying out the command to remove the attachment from the specific mail.
Regarding file types of the unremovable attachments there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I have the problem with both word documents and PDF files. The number of attachments neither seems to make a difference.
Temporary solution: Do not send mails with attachments you want to potentially remove later on from within Mail.app in Lion at the moment. Instead, use an iOS device or your mail provider's web interface for sending those mails. Apple, please fix it!

Getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail and cannot recieve or send mail to or from iCloud account apart from Apple emails!! Please help!

Since approx 7am GMT I've been getting "Error in sieve filter" message with each incoming mail, worse though, since about 12 noon I cannot recieve or send mail to or from my iCloud account apart from I've been getting emails from Apple (ie I've just received a welcome one from Apple Support Communities...)!! I've had this account for years, never had a problem - it can't be the OSX Mail server because the problem is the same when I log directly into iCloud. I've tried sending emails from my Hotmail account to my iCloud account (a .mac) and just get undeliverable messages back. I'm really in the s**t now at work. : ( I just set up a Smart TV yesterday with a wireless dongle - that's the only thing I've done out of the ordinary. I've spoken to Sky who are my ISP and they say all's fine with them (although the router kept kicking my off the internet this morning which was strange...). Router seems fine now though. I'm really hoping someone here can help!!
Many thanks!!

Do you think once Apple sort this out I'll get my missing emails back?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

How do I remove an e-mail account from my Nokia e-...

On my Nokia 5230 I'm using the Nokia e-mail client: http://store.ovi.com/content/8794 . This works fine for me. Yesterday I encountered a little proplem which I cannot resolve so far. I want to remove an e-mail account from my account list and I cannot find a option to do that. Within the menu I can find an option where I can change the settings for the different e-mail accounts, but there is no menu option "remove account". If someone knows a solution please feel free to share it with me.

Removing an e-mail account in Mail

I want to remove my mail account from a secondary computer in the house and just have it on my main computer. I have gone to "account" in Mail and clicked the little minus button at the bottom, which does indeed remove the account. However, when Mail is relaunched, there is shows up again! It's as though it cannot be removed from this computer. Any ideas?? Thank you!

What version of OSX are you using? Is the subject account a .mac account? If it is a .mac account, open System Preferences/.Mac and remove the info there under Account (may depend of the version of OSX you are using).

REMOVING my e-mail account from OS X. How to do it?

I only want to access my e-mail accounts via the webpage. When I was a PC user, I never entered any of my e-mail information into Outlook, and I didn't want to enter any e-mail information into OS X either.
But I accidentally entered my e-mail info into OS X, and now OS X has access to my Gmail account.
I tried to remove everything from the e-mail's preferences, but it keeps stopping me from doing it, saying that I "incoming mail server field cannot be empty" or other things can't be left empty. (Well, why not!!??). I can delete the password, +but I can't seem to delete the e-mail address from OS X.+
I want my Gmail account completely removed from OS X. I don't want any record of it whatsoever on OS X. None. Nada. Zippo! Not the password. Not the e-mail address. Not even the fact that I even use Gmail. I want it all gone from OS X's e-mail handler.
Is this possible? Or would I theoretically have to format the entire hard-drive and reinstall OS X in order to accomplish this? (Obviously it's not that important, but still...I'd like to know).

In Mail, select Mail>Preferences from the menu bar. In the pane which opens select 'Accounts' in the top bar. On the left you will see a list of accounts (or just the one if that's all you have). Click on your account to select it, then on the '-' button just below the list. All gone.

APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

TS4002 I have two mail accounts. One is called icloud and one is called Icloud. How do I get rid of the Icloud account without removing the icloud account?

Under Mailboxes, there is a list:
     All Inboxes
     Icloud
     iCloud
     VIP
Under Accounts
@ Icloud
(cloud symbol) iCloud
In Settings, there is only one (cloud symbol) account: iCloud
Under Settings ==> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, there are two accounts.
     iCloud is for Mail, Notes, Photos, find My iPad, Documents & Data
     Icloud is only for Mail, Notes
I can turn mail off for the Icloud account. If I turn off Notes, there is a warning: All IMAP notes will be removed from you iPad.
I can turn off mail and notes for the iCloud account. No problems
The Default Account for Notes is Icloud.
I have changed the Default Accounts for Notes to "On My iPad."   Still not able to turn of the notes in the Icloud Account.
And, now for something completely different! The multiple mail box accounts do not show up in the Mail app. There are still multiple accounts for notes.

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from Facebook. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

Remove an e-mail account from my blackberry

Go to Setup - Email Settings (or your carrier's BIS website) and delete the account from there.

I do not know how to remove my g-mail account information from Thunderbird so I do not keep getting e-mails from my g-mail account showing up in Thunderbird.

I need help knowing which pulldown, and which choice to select, in order to remove the account info for my g-mail account which keeps forwarding all my g-mail e-mails to Thunderbird even after I have deleted all the unwanted e-mails in g-mail.

Gmail is not your main mail account? If you have mail accounts you no longer want Thunderbird to check, you can delete them in the Account Settings dialog (there's a button at the bottom left). Either:
* 3-bar menu button > Options > Account Settings
* tap the Alt key > Tools menu > Account Settings
If Gmail is set up as an IMAP account (this is indicated on the Server Settings section) then all of the folders for the account should be removed from Thunderbird. They should, however, remain on the server. If in doubt, someone probably could describe how best to make a backup.
Does that make sense?

Mail app not removing old email accounts

Hi,
I have mail accounts that I made in the internet accounts section of the system prefrences and then deleted not disapearing from my Mail App. they were deleted due to duplication of a google mail account and a few fails at getting an outlook account to work.
They are NOT now in the interenet accounts, how ever do show up in mail. If you go to the mail prefrences and try and remove them it sends you back to the internet accounts in the system prefrences where theyhave already been deleted. A second Quirk is that I thought I could just disable the unwanted google account howver when I do it disables the duplicae too.
How can I get mail to behave and remove the ghost accounts? this has partly happed as I wanted all my macs to use the same accounts over Icloud so when I turned it on, it doubled up accounts on my main computer, I then removed the non Icloud shared accounts,
Thanks for the help

If you search on this forum and compare popular web hosting providers like Bluehost, Hostgator and Godaddy you will see many users have such problems with their email apps. First it seems your problem comes from your cellphone. But it is surprising that I had the same problem when I had a web and email hosting account with Godaddy and their customer service couldn't solve my problem and finally I moved my email hosting account to Bluehost and the problem automatically was solved, without any action!
So I recommend to you and any other users with similar problems to change your email hosting provider. Now that you are unhappy with Godaddy I recommend to try http://www.bluehost.com or http://www.hostgator.com companies.
I have the S3 and don't have any problem with syncing my Hostgator email accounts. So If I were you first I'd try Hostgator.
