Deleting googlemail account from home screen

Hi all, please help.
I have passed on my Blackberry 8520 (PAYG) to my wife and with her own SIM has now paid for blackberry services through Orange. All is well, except that alongside her googlemail icon on the home screen remains my original gmail account icon. How can I delete this? I have gone to email settings and can only find my wife's email account listed, which makes sense as we added this email account to the phone recently. I simply cannot remove this now defunct old googlemail icon from the home screen. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello karl8695
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
Have you performed a wipe on your old device before passing it on to your wife ? 
If not do a backup of your old device using BlackBerry Desktop Software , then perform a security wipe which will remove any previous email account that is associated with that device. After a wipe you can use the BlackBerry ID of your wife on that device. :

    Hello,
    You can change that setting in your Firefox configuration:
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
    # Search for and modify the following preferences (by double clicking the row, or right clicking the row and selecting '''Modify''')
    #* '''browser.newtabpage.columns'''
    #* '''browser.newtabpage.rows'''
    If that isn't to your liking, you can try the following extension:

  • How can I delete my account from messenger?

    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my work laptop and would like to delete my account from messenger so I can log in at home. The minus sign is greyed out when I try to delete it. I've signed out, but still shows the account is there. Thanks for any advice!

    Hi,
    You cannot delete the Bonjour or iMessages in the Messages app.
    You were never able to delete the Bonjour account in the earlier versions of iChat that preceded Messages.
    Obviously your account is still active (Enabled) in the pic.
    The Sign Out just "remembers" the last Apple ID used and waits for your Password - you can change the apple ID at this point.
    To fully remove the details from the pane do the following:-
    With the Messages app closed down (and Signed Out)  use a Finder window use the Go Menu > Go to folder
    Enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and Drag it to the Trash  (Delete it)
    You may wish to also delete com.apple.imagent.plist as this holds some Account Info (It "listens" for "calls" when the computer is ON but the app is not)
    Also the Keychain will hold the Password for the Apple ID And the iMessages IDS item which you might also want to remove.
    However the madrid item is enough to clear the pane in the Preferences.

  • How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

    How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

    Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks.  I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

    Have you tried changing the admin password in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password   ??
    The Apple ID that is associated with your admin password is noted there.

  • Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail.  Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

    I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
    In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
    From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
    I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
    I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
    Thanks in advance

    Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
