Delete email account without hard reset?

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android 4.1.1.  Shortly thereafter (and perhaps coincidentally), I could not connect to one of my email accounts (my Yahoo account, if it matters). Other email accounts are still functioning normally, so the problem is limited to this one account.  I would like to delete the account and start over, but I receive a message that the this email account is used by other apps, and the only way to remove it is by performing a hard reset to factory settings.  Is there way around this hassle?  Thanks in advance for the help!

Same issue..  Not sure I like the new google voice search either.   It used to show the Web Call Map in the search results, now I have to open it in in the map to get to the call feature.  Extra steps google, why'd you do it?   Verizon fix your yahoo email.  This is rediculous to have this many issues with an email client that were trying to delete and read it for a solution.

  • I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address to a new one and I am trying to update iCloud account on iPhone5 with iOS 7.1.2, and I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password.

    I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address and I am trying to update iCloud account with my new Apple ID on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2. I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password. Is there a way to update the Apple ID of my iCloud account?

    Many people are having probalems with this right now.  The only solution I've seen that seems to consistently work is the one posted by Brackers28 here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23020591#23020591.  This only works if you still have access to your old email account.  If you don't, you'll have to have Apple help you reset the password for your old account so you can turn off Find My iPhone and sign into your account with your correct ID.

  • Can I delete an account without loosing all the emails?

    I now haw 2 accounts in MacMail, each with their own handfull of mail. One account is for a now obsolete email address.
    I'd like to delete it, leaving me with only the current and active email account / address. However, I can't loose all of the emails that at associated with the obsolete account.
    Any way to delete the account without deleteing all of the messages associated with it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    First of all, quit Mail and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    If you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail and move there the messages currently stored in the account’s mailboxes, you won’t lose them as a result of deleting the account. How to do that is explained in the following Mail Help articles:
    Creating a mailbox
    Organizing your email
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • I want to delete an email account without losing my contacts.

    Why is this so difficult? I never wanted them associated with the email account in the first place!  I have everything set up to sync by Icloud and it doesn't seem to matter they are syncing with yahoo and if I delete the email I lose all my contacts!

    I'm not sure what's wrong with your setup but I have numerous contacts in my Contacts app that originally came from my Mac's Addressbook.  I have a gmail and 3 other IMAP email accounts on my iPhone.  I have all my devices syncing to iCloud and I can add and delete email accounts from my iPhone 5 and it affects the Contacts in no way.
    I was having wierd issues when I first setup iCloud with my email and contacts.  I was getting many duplicates showing up in my contacts.  I sign out of iCloud in the Settings, deleted all my email accounts, made sure my contacts were all correct in Contacts app, added my email accounts back as IMAP (instead of POP) and turned iCloud sync back on.  Everything has worked perfectly since doing that.  I love the IMAP setup because when I delete and email on any device it is automatically gone on all other devices.

  • How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

    How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
    All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
    I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
    Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
    As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

    That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)

  • I have two apple accounts on one computer. How do i delete one account without deleting the other?

    I have two questions!!   
    I need to know how to delete one account without deleting the other account on the computer?
    I am deleting the account because i have a new laptop that now has the my account... will deleting the account on one computer affect the account on the other laptop?

    What do you mean by deleting the account? One can't delete an Apple ID/iTunes account. One just stops using it.
    Since yo can only have five computer authorized for one iTunes account you might want to deauthorize the computer for that account

  • 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.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    Maybe ask someone in the Apple iPad forum.  This is the Snow Leopard forum.

  • New icloud email account without changing apple ID

    Is it possible to get a new icloud email account without changing my apple ID?

    Not an account, no: you would have to create a new Apple ID and use it to create a new iCloud account. But it depends on what it is you are trying to do: if all you want is a different @icloud.com email address this is easy. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • How to delete EMAIL accounts

    I am using Nokia E72. could you please suggest how to delete EMAIL accounts from Mobile

    If the accounts have been set up with Nokia Messaging, then go to email.nokia.com, log in there with the details of the first account you set up, and then you can delete accounts you don't need.
    Once done when the phone next syncs it will remove them from the phone.
    If they are manually configured accounts, then on the phone, just go to Email->Settings-> scroll to the account -> Options -> Remove mailbox

  • HT5361 Just now accidentally deleted email account. No warning appears and was deleted. Mail was not back up ed. Does exist any way how for Undo of this delete operation (need to recover mails and contacts there)

    I just accidnetally deleted email account and there wa sno warining so it went through and I lost all my emails. The email was not Back up. Is there any way how this account could be recovered?

    If the account was an IMAP account your emails should re-appear if you recreate the email account. If the account was POP you hopefully have backup (TIme Machine?) you can restore the emails from.

  • How can i use my aol email account without it using up my storage on my phone

    how can i use my aol email account without using up storgae

    Your mail account shouldn't take up very much of the capacity on your phone and you can't purchase more of it. So I'm thinking you might be talking about iCloud backup storage. If that's the case, you can change some of the info that goes into your icloud backup and reduce its size from settings > icloud > backup and storage > manage storage

  • How to delete an old  closed email account without having the password

    I recently closed my email account that I used to create my itunes account and I forgot the password to change or delete this account. I created a new account in Itunes, but now I can`t change my old email and user name. What can I do to eliminate this old account in my Ipad and creat the new on? Thanks

    I assume that you updated the existing account id rather that creating a new one, if so then you can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and you can then log back in with the updated id. If you created a new account then any content that is on the iPad will remain linked to that old account
