E71x - Created an Email Account - Can't delete

Before anyone here cuts and pastes the usual response:
"Messaging> Options> Settings> E-mail>  highlight the account you want to delete, then Options> Delete"
Don't bother, this does not work for me and does not apply to my problem. When I click "Messaging> Options> " I get the following menu choices:
Open
Change Menu View
Move
Move to folder
Download applications
Check memory
Help (<-- this is the biggest joke I've ever seen)
Exit
Notice anything missing here? Right, THERE IS NO "Settings" menu option.
Let's say we click on Messaging>Messages>Options, well, NOW there's a "Settings" menu.
click on that, and guess what? NO EMAIL MENU OPTION!
Here are my options under Messaging>Messages>Options>Settings :
Text message
Multimedia message
Mail for Exchange
Service Message
Other
(none of these are helpful, btw)
SO without further adieu, here's what happened to me.
I created an account as follows: Messaging>Messages>Set-Up Email> enter account/server info
this creates some **bleep** step-child email routine that is not really Xpress Mail, not really Exchange. If I knew what it was, maybe I could delete it.
Now, whenever I click on Messaging>Messages I get the following:
Inbox
$*%&$* email account that I can't delete
Mail for Exchange
(?) <Big **bleep** question mark with a circle around it>
               <Random blank line, sometimes 3 or 4 blank lines, depends on the mood of                                 phone>
Instant Messaging
My folders
... etc
If I click on the $*%&$* email button (just below Inbox, listed above), it opens the account and asks me if I want to connect to my mailbox.
I click no, because I'm not feeling very charitable.
I then click Options>Email Settings and get the following choices:
Connection Settings
User Settings
Retrieval Settings
Automatic Retrieval
within these menus I can tweak my username, password, incoming mail server, blah blah blah. What I CAN'T do is DELETE THE FREAKING ACCOUNT.
Really, all I want to do is delete that account. It is causing me so much headache.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm begging. please help.

I would push a little harder on AT&T because the E71x is specially branded to them. To me, it sounds rediculous if tech support isn't able to figure out there own AT&T Xpressmail, they have to do better than that.

  • Migration Assistant created new user account & can't delete it

    Hi - I'm a new Mac user (MacBook Pro). I seem to have an extra account and am not sure why. Here's what happened:
    I setup my MacBook Pro and did not run Migration Assistant at that time. I later ran Migration Assistant to migrate PC files to the MacBook. A second account was created after the migration. All my PC content is in the second account. None in the original account. When I look at the Users & Groups in System Preferences, I see that both accounts are Admin accounts.
    I do not want the original account that was created for me on the MacBook Pro before I trasnferred any of my PC files over.  I just want to keep the account that was created to house all my PC files when they were migrated over.  However I cannot migrate that original account - the " - " is just greyed out. 
    Please can someone advise how I delete it.  I do not want two admin user acconts - just the onen with all my PC files in.
    I realise I should have done the PC transfer at start up using "set up assistant" but for whatever reasons I chose to delay it by a day or so and hence used Windows Migration Assistant.
    Please tell me how I can delete the surplus user account created for me originally when I used the Mac for the first time.
    Thanks in advance for all feedback and advice.  This is my first Mac after 20 years of Windows, so big step for me and still learning!  So easy to understand instructions please would be bonus
    thanks all

    Unfortunately I see that no one has been able to help me with this . . . so instead of addressing the question above. can someone please tell me how to reset my Mac to "factory settings", ie how it was the day I bought it and before I switched it on for the first time.  Delete everything on there now. That way I will do set up properly and transfer data from my PC first of all instead of revisiting it. 
    Please can someone tell me how to do this
    Many thanks

  • I can not create an email account for my client

    I have created an email account ([email protected]) and it is sending snd recieving messages. However when I try to create an address ([email protected]) me client could not log in to the webmail. I deleted the account and re-created the address with my email as the recovery. My thinking was I would set up the email and confirm everything is working and then show the client how to reset the password. Now it I can not get the BC admin panle to send an invite email yo me. Please advise. Client is passed mad on this. I have to resolve this issue.

    When I try to set up the [email protected] email account in the BC admin panle it repeatedly continues to change the password recovery email to [email protected] no matter how I set it up. This doesn't make any sense.  We can get into that account to even set a user password.

  • Can't create new email account.

    I can't create new emails account because when I go to Setting and click in Mail,Contacts ,calender, it goes back to home, intead of open the options. Any advice? Thanks
    Julio

    Double tab the home button and when the application button shows up hold the settings icon until you see a red dot in the corner and hit that.
    If that dosent work then try restarting the device. Hold the lock button (top right of iPad) until slide to power off appears then hit the same button to get it back on.
    To actually make an email account you have to go to the providers web page, you can't create one in settings

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can create another account and hence another e-mail address, if that is what you are asking.

  • If I delete any message from email account it gets deleted from thunderbird as well so how can i keep back up

    If I delete any message from email account it gets deleted from thunder bird as well so how can i keep back up

    either use the pop protocol to get your mails, or move mail into a "local Folder" from your mail account and it will delete on the server as well as from the account in Thunderbird.

  • How do i create an email account

    How do I create an email account on my new macbook pro?

    Do you have an email ISP or an online email account such as GMail? Before you can create a Mail account on the computer you need to have the information provided by your email ISP to enter into the email application: your email address, .e.g., [email protected]; your email provider's SMTP server address, .e.g., smtp.server.com; the POP or IMAP mail server address, e.g., mail.server.com. You will also need your username and password for accessing your mail account.
    In many cases whoever provides your email service will have a help page showing you what to do to configure Mail on the Mac.

  • My husband has retrieved emails from my exchange email account. I deleted them from the trash bin. How is he doing this?

    OK, let's come back to the original issue; how are deleted messages retrievable?
    First, is the account set up as an Exchange account or a POP account? I'll assume it's Exchange. If it were POP the answer is obvious.
    If it's an Exchange account are you deleting the messages from the phone or from some other computer? If you are deleting them from another computer they will not be removed from the Trash folder on the phone until the phone next syncs AND the Trash folder is opened. But this will take time. You can force the Trash folder to sync in near real time by going into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap on the Exchange account, tap on Mail Folders to Push and check "Deleted Items". Note that doing this will result in increased data usage and reduced battery life.
    If I haven't described the situation tell me what assumptions I made that are incorrect.

  • Create Group Email Account in OIM

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create Group Email Account in AD from OIM. I am able to create Group Accounts in AD using the OOB Resource Object "AD Group". Though I am not sure how to mail enable the group Account from OIM. Please give me ur valuable suggestions.
    Regards,
    Srijan.

    What you basically need to do is to set the mailnickname attribute on the group object in AD.
    I don't think that you can get the 9.1 AD connector to do this but it is not that hard to create a custom connector to do this.
    If you don't have experience of JNDI I could change some code I built a while ago to do this. Contact me through LinkedIn if you are interested.
    Best regards

  • Files related to removed email accounts are not deleted.

    Thunderbird (currently 24.6.0, Windows) current Account Settings window shows Local folders and RSS folders for rss feeds. I used to have 2 email accounts, but a long time ago I stopped using Thunderbird for them. At that time I removed them using the "Remove account" button. They were (and are) no longer displayed.
    The other day, I went to transfer Thunderbird settings using MozBackup to another system. On that system I could see the two email accounts (including mail messages).
    Then, I checked in the Thunderbird Profile folder in Application Data. The accounts were still there.
    So my question is - How can I completely delete the old email accounts. I read elsewhere that the primary email account cannot be deleted. But can the account sub-folders in the Profile folder be deleted without causing other problems?

    Folder
    mail \server name
    IMAPMail\server name
    Deleting the server name folders removes any residual mail for an account.
    Note deleting such a folder for an active account is something of a disaster.
    see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_deleted_mail_accounts not what you ask, but explains folder naming a little

  • Email account can send email but cannot recieve

    My new contractor email account can send email but cannot receive. GIT had identified the problem "Mail record not created in LDAP" but it has been more than a week and still no fix.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    James

    Hi James,
    Contractors by default are not provided email access. Your manager needs to request for a mail record from APS. If your manager had already requested for a mail record, then you need to raise a service request with helpdesk.
    Moreover you're reporting this issue in the wrong forum.
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to create another email account with talk talk. and I keep getting a failed message saying 'mail could not log into the mail server talk talk. Yet I already have another email account with talk talk. Not sure what I am doing wrong

    I am trying to create another email account with Talktalk. I already have one account.
    I try to input the new email address and password and get a failed message
    'Mail could not lot into the mail server talktalk.net.
    I have tried several times and keep getting the same message.
    Any ideas

    Accessing your emails from any computer connected to the Internet or from a Smart phone should be straightforward.
    For help on how to set up your e-mail on some of the most common software applications and devices, see How do I set up my TalkTalk email?
    If your software application or device isn't listed, all you need to connect to your TalkTalk e-mail mailbox are the TalkTalk e-mail settings. Make sure you use the right email settings for your specific email address.

  • At the very end of creating an email account the program asks for a software security device password, I have no idea what this is or where to find it.

    At the very end of creating an email account the program asks for a software security device password, I have no idea what this is or where to find it. To my knowledge I don't have a "software security device". I am using Windows 7 on an IMac.

    What is the exact prompt or error message you get?
