Delete email account from my phone

I want to delete an email account from my Droid Razr Maxx. I set up my Yahoo account on my phone. I did not realize that I was going to get all the mail including the hundreds of spam I get daily on this account. I dont want to delete it, I just dont want it to get to my phone.

Ok so what one do you want to do away with if it's a Gmail account i would keep it unless it's getting really bad but one thing if you do get rid of it you have to Factory Reset to Remove the Gmail account Now if this is another Email say like AOL you can remove it by just going to accounts and going to the one in Question and remove it, then put your Yahoo in it's place one thing i would recommend doing is after you remove the Account go the home Screen perform a Soft Reset and then go back and add the Account when your phone comes back on..

I recently deleted an email account from my phone because they were going to require me to always have password lock on ect. When I deleted it some of my notes in my notes app disappeared. Is there a way to get those back? Maybe by reinstalling that email

Hello there, sunnysjy23.
I'm not clear on what account you're looking to remove. If you are looking to change the Apple ID you have signed into the phone for use in the App Store and iTunes Store, then this Knowledge Base article should prove helpful:

Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.

How do I delete my email account from my phone?

I don't want to receive my email to my phone. I just want to be able to use the browser when I need it. I don't want to keep getting emails every time I get junk mail. Does anyone know how to delete that from my phone so I wont get anymore messages saying I have email?

Delete it the same way you added it. There should be an icon on your home screen for "Setup Internet Email" or "Manage Internet Email" and you can use that to delete your email account from the BIS system.

How do I delete an old Microsoft exchange email account from my phone without it automatically deleting many of my contacts?

I have an old Microsoft Exchange Email Account on my phone that I no longer use. I never synced my contacts with this email account. Yet, if I delete it, it destroys my contacts. Do I just need to have this email account permanently on my phone? It's really annoying and I want to get rid of it, but have no idea what to do. Thanks!

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.
If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps - you should be able to logout of the old account via Settings > Store and log in with you new account for new purchases.

How do I delete an email account from my phone and add a new one?

I have 3 Email Accounts set-up on my phone and would like to delete one and set-up a new one. The problem is that all 3 accounts are muted so I can't select one to delete. The "Add Account" button is also muted so I can't select that button either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

Thank you so very much! That was just what I needed to do, problem solved.

How to delete an account from my phone

Long story short, I ended up with two apple accounts linked to my iphone years ago when I got my first iphone. I no longer have the password for one of the accounts and when I try to reset it I never get an email back. I would like to get rid of the one account so it stops popping up and asking me to sign in.
I just got a new iphone 5 and after restoring from my icloud backup it's still doing it although I deleted all the apps I had previously downloaded with the account I want to get rid of.
Any way to get the other account unlinked from my phone?

In regards to the account I'm trying to get rid of, I also tried resetting the password by using the security questions but the first one is my birthday and it won't even accept that. I've forgotten a lot of stuff in the past but never my birthday so I'm putting the correct info in. It's like the account doesn't even exist?

Have you tried AirWwatch support?

What exactly do you not see? The delete button?
Are you using the default Mail App or one installed by AirWatch?
If you are using the Mail App what do you see under Settings->Mail, Contacts & Calendars->Accounts?

My apple account was hacked so cannot get my password. how do i delete my account from my phone to create a new iCloud account. It asks for a password before I can delete my account?

i am unable to delete my Icloud account off my phone as it has been hacked and I am unable to retrieve a new password. Is there anyway I can remove it?

You won't be able to remove it without the password. If you can't reset it yourself, contact the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If your country isn't listed, try contacting iTunes store support: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

How do I delete email account from iCloud advance?

Hi,
My iCloud email is merged with two other alien email accounts in my advance iCloud account information on my device, how do I delete those accounts?

Welcome to the Apple Community Utch.
I suspect you might be referring to your iCloud email aliases, which can't be seperated so far as the inbox is concerned. You might consider making some mail rules to move them into different folders.

Delete email account from iCloud

Hi guys
I have a @gmail apple ID and after entered on icloud.com with my ID I have clicked on the email icon and it said that I should create an icloud account on a device to get through... so I did it on my iphone.
But this account was just a "test" one wich I suppose to delete it easily. But after hours trying to find out how to exclude this [email protected] mail from my iCloud account I could not find out a way to do it!!
When I go do Preferences inside the email on iCloud.com it shows my "test" account there, but no way to delete it!
Does anyone have an idea how to do that?
Thanks!

You can't delete or change the main email address. You can add up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one as if it gets spammed it can be easily deleted without affecting calendar etc. syncing.
Please see here about creating aliases:

Deleting email account from iCloud

I am trying to set up my daughter's iCloud on her iPod and I keep getting the error message that her email address is already in use on another account. How can I delete the email from that account so I can use her email for her iCloud?

Maybe:

Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
You can only have one Apple ID associated with an iCloud account. You may not be able to do what you want.

Delete contacts from a deleted email account??? (sounds confusing I know)

This will require an explanation before I can get to my question so here I go. I have several email accounts that sync to my phone. I have now deleted one of my email accounts. The problem is that when I compose an email from any of the remaining email accounts still on my phone and start to type the name of the contact that I want to send the email to contacts from the deleted email account are still being displayed. I need to be able to remove the contacts from the deleted email account from my phone. These are contacts that are not part of my phone contacts. They are contacts that I have replied to from the deleted email account. If I have not clearly described my issue please let me know. Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have.

There is a system-wide email address cache. The only way to clear that cache is to perform a Restore via iTunes, and set your phone up as new (the list is backed up), meaning you'd need to reload all your content, redo your settings, etc.
