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.

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.

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.
*And obviously the empty fields are filled out correctly, I've deleted them in the photos for privacy reasons....

How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?

Hello all,
How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
When I go here: Mail > Preferences Mail > Accounts
I got the message that I needed to delete it from my Internet Accounts.
When I go here: System Preferences > Internet Accounts > select the account >
I cannot select or click the minus sign on the bottom left to delete the account because it does not appear in the list.
Yet the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
The email account no longer appears in the left column where all my email accounts are in Apple Mail as I have deleted that domain and no longer use it, so the email was deleted at the server level. However, again, the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
This is driving me bananas!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
~ Angela

If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.

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

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.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
From your description, perhaps TMO has changed the method you need to do this? Have you contacted them, as per the information provided to you? After all, it's a TMO system you are attempting to interact with, is it not?
Good luck!

Vanishing email accounts from iPhone mailbox?

My iPhone randomly, that is, I didn't do ask it to anything, removed two email accounts from the my mail box. When I go to settings it says they are still there, but I've got no way of accessing them and through mail box because they're not there! Why??

If you are talking about syncing the account setup info, then yes. In iTunes, in the iPhone options there is the ability to sync mail accounts. This will auto-setup these accounts on the phone.
If you are talking about syncing the actual mail messages, no.
