Deleting an email account on iPhone without deleting all the contacts?

I currently have an email on my phone that is no longer a functioning email that I have access to. I have a problem..... ALL my contacts are synced to the email..... If I delete the email all of my contacts delete. I have tried multiple programs to move them but none of them work. Also they will not backup to iCloud I have tried multiple times.... Help!

The phone has the latest version of ios7. Unfortunately tge mail accounts which are from the carriers have no delet button in the settings.

  • TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

    I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

    Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
    It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
    Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
    Just turn it off.

  • Deleting IMAP email accounts from iPhone

    I can't delete an IMAP email account form my iPhone.  I got to settings > Mail, Conatct, Calendars > select the email account but I don't get the option to delete.  I can only switch off the mail.  Other mail accounts such as Hotmail and iCloud give me the option to delete.
    It's a secure server email account.
    Any ideas?

    settings < general < profiles
    might be able to delete from there.

  • Cannot delete GoDaddy Email Account from iPhone 5s

    Hello.  I'm having a strange issue.  So first off, the email account I'm referencing is a GoDaddy account.  I recently changed my password, and somehow outgoing mail stopped working, saying that the password is wrong.  I've re-enter the correct password many times, and it still doesn't work.  So then I thought, screw it, I'll delete and then re-add the account, but there is no 'Delete' option in the account settings, as shown in all the tutorials. It is not an issue of Restriction settings, as they are off, but I turned them on, and made sure that mail wasn't restricted and it made no difference.  Anyone else having this issue?  Anyone have any idea what to do?

    Also, I have two other email accounts on my phone, one AOL, and one iCloud, and both of them appear as you would expect when you go into Settings: with toggle buttons for 'Mail' and 'Notes' and a 'Delete Account' option.  But in the GoDaddy account, there isn't any of those options, just the specific settings (Incoming/Outgoing Server) and no 'Delete' option.  And like I said, it isn't a 'Restrictions' issue.  I'm stumped.  I've attached screenshots to help explain what I'm talking about.

  • How to delete an email account? I created 2 of the...

    So I accidentally ran "Start email setup" twice for my same yahoo account. There are now 2 of them on the Messaging main screen, one called "yahoo" and one called "yahoo001". They are exactly the same. I want to delete "yahoo001". For the life of me, I see no way to do this...is there a way? I only have one email account, so changing the settings on one of them would not help me, I need it deleted.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brian (in China)

    You need to go into email settings to delete an account, as follows:
    Communic. --> Messaging --> Options --> Settings --> E-mail
    Then scroll down until the email account you want to delete is selected, and choose:
    Options --> Delete
    and then you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete it.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Delete mail account on iPhone without deleting contacts

    I can find no way to delete all mail at one time on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 except to delete the account. Then I get the message that deleting the account will also delete the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes—which I do NOT want to do. So, two questions:
    1. Is there a way to delete all the mail at one time? Or at least one mailbox at a time?
    2. Is there a way to delete the account without deleting the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I called Apple support and they managed to solve my problem
    They gave me the following instructions:
    1. Go to appleid.apple.com, press "Manage your Apple-ID" and write in your current apple-id and password.
    2. Change your primary mailadress to your OLD mailadress (your old apple-id).
    3. Log on to your old email and confirm.
    4. Now you can write your ordinary password on iCloud in your iPhone, using your old apple-ID.
    (Settings > iCloud)
    5. If you would like to keep that apple-ID, you don't have to do anything else. If you rather want the previous apple-ID, you first delete the account on your iPhone.
    6. Change back your primary email address as it was before (on appleid.apple.com), and log on to your email to confirm.
    7. Now you can type in your current apple-ID account on iCloud. (Settings > iCloud)
    This solved it for me anyways!
    Sorry for the bad english

  • How do I delete an email account from iPhone 5?

    I have a gmail account on my iPhone 5 that stopped working two days ago (stopped sending or receiving email).  This account had worked since I got the phone in November. I want to delete this account from my phone and try reloading it but it will not delete. I hit delete account and it reappears after I close the settings.
    Does anyone have a fix for this?

    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore ( first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • How do I sync iPad and iPhone without getting all the iPad apps on the phone

    iPhone 4 tried to download all the iPad apps when syncing today. But of course overloaded the phones capacity.
    After deleting from the phone and syncing they were all reaload to the phone again.
    After disconnecting, went into iTunes, selected iPhone and when I selected one app to delete I got the message that this app would then be deleted off all devices. I would have thought that the iPad and iPhone options at the top of itunes window would highlight apps for each device especially as the two lists are not the same.How do I keep iPads apps on the iPad And iPhone apps on the iPhone?
    Help please

    Connect one device to iTunes.
    Select what is desired to sync and sync.
    Eject the device.
    Connect second device to iTunes.
    Select what is desired to sync and sync.
    iTunes will remember what to sync to each device based on the device name/id.
    Be certain to uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps with each device connected.

  • How to move new app to my iPhone without erasing all the others

    Hi, I bought a new app for my iPhone while in iTunes on my computer, assuming I could move it to my iPhone. Now it seems that the only way I can get it onto the iPhone is to sync it, but I'm getting the warning that if I sync, it will remove all my other apps, which I bought directly from the phone. I don't want to lose all those apps. I tried just sliding the app over. How can I get the app onto my iPhone while leaving the other apps as they are?

    OK, thanks. I really didn't know that. However, I have solved the problem of how to get the app I just purchased onto my iPhone. It turns out that when you go to buy it again, on the iPhone, you get a message saying you have already purchased that item, and asking if you want to download it again. So, I am able to get that app on my iPhone without purchasing it again. Now I will go through the apps I got from my daughter and see if I want them and when I get that figured out, I will sync, which will erase the ones she gave me, and then I'll purchase the ones I really want. Thanks for your help.

  • Sept 4, 2014 My iPhone is not connecting to the Hotmail servers. My other email accounts work on it but all the hotmail one comes up with is "The connection to the server failed". Are other people experiencing the same issues?

    Sept 4, 2014 My iPhone is not connecting to the Hotmail servers. Hotmail comes up with "The connection to the server failed". Are other people experiencing the same issues?  From: gnof51

    If your Hotmail account worked previously and it suddenly stopped and gave you that message, then it is likely a problem at th Hotmail end. Did you check the Hotmail website or contact Hotmail directly to see if they are experiencing problems?
