E72 - removing e-mail accounts

Hi!
I got my E72 today and of course started fiddling with it.
Somehow I messed up my e-mail accounts, so I want to start over by deleting them.
When I try to delete the accounts, I get the following error message 'you have to be connected to remove an email account"
Since I've ruïned the settings for those email accounts I'm unable to connect.
Please help! Does anyone know to remove e-mail accounts via another way?
Thanks in advance,..

Tried that also.... The sever name of my nokia account in settings is the same as in the addressbar by signing in through http://email.nokia.com through my PC. But my account has been deactivated 3 times in 2 months with an email coming [email protected] stating that my phone has been transferred to another person. (*May be they got a dream about it. But actually, I am the same person who brought this phone with the same internet connection and SIM number).
I contacted the nokia helpline also .... First time they asked me to hard reset my phone through *#7370# , I did that and my service got activated after that. But, that was just the beginning, as, I again got the same email just after 2 days with my account deactivated. I again contacted Nokia care & they said that this time they will delete my account from their server & I have to again signup for the service. I did that also and the service got activated. But. Believe me, just after 3-4 days again I got the same email with my account deactivated. This time Nokia care executive have said that they have transferred this problem to their technical department and the problem will be addressed within a week. Since, 24-Aug-2010 my service is deactivated with no call or email from Nokia till now.
From these 10 years, I was the big fan of Nokia devices, but the way they are addressing this problem and selling this service which is such in a crude phase is very disappointing.
I felt like throwing my device away.... Such a let down by Nokia !!!

How can I remove a mail account that does not show up in Internet Accounts?

I have a Mail account that I cannot remove because it does not show up in System Preferences > Internet Accounts. How can I remove this account permanently?
Here is the account in Mail:

Here is what shows up when I click on Internet Accounts:

Thanks, it was linked in iPhoto. After removing it from iPhoto I still got the same message when trying to delete the account from Mail. After rebooting, I was able to remove the account from Mail.

Cannot remove Internet-/Mail Accounts (can't even see them).

Hey.
I don't know whats up with this, but when I go to my mail account preferences and press the "-" (minus) it says that "The mail account [email protected] is shared by other applications on this mac. You can remove it from Internet Accounts" and offers me a button to go directly to Internet Accounts. When I go there - I don't see the account. I have several emails installed and I cannot delete a single one. None of them is showing.
Any help?

Operating system is Yosemite.

Can't remove unwanted mail account in Preferences

On my network, I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server. I had previously activated Mail services on the SNS machine which automatically pushed an email account to the MBP - so alongside my regular Apple MobileMe and Gmail accounts in Apple Mail, I have a greyed out email account provided by Snow Leopard Server.
However - I have since turned off and disconnected the SLS mac Mini from the network (after turning off the Mail service). I now have a greyed out email account on my MBP - obviously I have tried deleting it under Preferences > Account but it is removed for a moment and then re-appears. It does this regardless of if the MBP is on the network so something locally is forcing this email account to remain in Apple Mail.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

The mail account is owned by the server, not the MBP, so I would image that as the mail account is on the server, it will need to be deleted from the server, with the MBP connected so as both mail clients can synchronise.
Hope this helps

Remove E Mail account from a 5300

Can anyone tell me how to remove an E Mail account from a 5300.
I can not work it out LOL
THANKS

Funnily enough a user of a 6300 Nokia had that problem - see in this post :
/discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&message.id=4051#M4051
The solution in that case was a restart of the phone ... you could try this ?
Alao - there is a reset option detailed in p57 of the manual, although I'm not sure whether this will delete the email accounts.
Since I don't actually own a 5300 that's about as much help as I can give you (I own a N70) ... alternatively if you want me to have a look you can send it to me and I'll find the menu option and let you know
Let me know how it goes ...

Removing a Mail Account with no access

Hey everyone,
I have a Gmail account that I was using for a while and I added it in the Windows 8 Mail app months ago, and it was fine. Since then, I have deleted/closed the email address with Google. Now, I can't remove it from the Win 8 Mail app.
It's marked as "Needs attention" on the bottom right-hand list of email accounts. Because of that marker,
I cannot edit settings on the account. Clicking on it opens the "Connecting to a service..." pop-up, asking me to log-in to the account (that I no longer have access to). If I go into the settings charm and try to edit accounts there,
it's again marked as "Needs attention", and clicking on it there opens up the Connection pop-up again. The behavior occurs on all 3 of my Windows 8.1 devices, including my Surface 2.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I just want to get rid of that account from the app. If I need to go into the registry/AppData, I'm more than comfortable doing so. I just don't know where to look.

I am suffering from the same problem and I have been searching for an answer forever. Did you read the original question? "If I go into the settings charm and try to edit accounts there, it's again marked as "Needs attention", and clicking on
it there opens up the Connection pop-up again."
What this person is saying is that there is no ability or opportunity to 'Remove Account'. The 'Connecting To Service' message pops up and is asking that you to 'sign in'. You can't sign in to an account that doesn't exist and there begins the
endless loop.
I really find it hard to believe that there is no way to remove the account from the list after it has been deleted. I even went into Credential Manager and removed the account from there and rebooted to no avail.
Uninstalling the Mail App and reinstalling does not resolve the issue. Removing it from Credential Manager does not resolve the issue. No one has an answer? How can no one have an answer to this?
If any of you told me it is impossible to remove the account from the list - that would be an answer - at the very least I could put it to rest.
Thanks

Removing an e-mail account in Mail

I want to remove my mail account from a secondary computer in the house and just have it on my main computer. I have gone to "account" in Mail and clicked the little minus button at the bottom, which does indeed remove the account. However, when Mail is relaunched, there is shows up again! It's as though it cannot be removed from this computer. Any ideas?? Thank you!

What version of OSX are you using? Is the subject account a .mac account? If it is a .mac account, open System Preferences/.Mac and remove the info there under Account (may depend of the version of OSX you are using).

Delete E-Mail Accounts Without Removing Them from All Computers

I lost a hard drive on my MacBook Pro and had to re-insall Yosemite and all of my apps and data. I started setting up my e-mail using Apple Mail on my laptop, adding accounts to it. As I added accounts, apparently iCloud decided to add them to my Apple Mail on my work computer, an iMac running Yosemite. I do share my iCloud account between the two machines, but in the past, I didn't share e-mail accounts, except for my .me account and my work e-mail account. Now, I have all of my personal e-mail accounts on my iMac, which I do not want.
When I go to delete an account in Mail, it shoots me over to the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences. If I start to delete the account, I get the following message:
"Do you want to remove the Mail account “[email protected]” from all your computers using iCloud Keychain or turn it off on only this Mac?
Removing from all computers using iCloud Keychain will remove it from this Mac and “Name of My MacBook Pro”."
I want to remove the account from my work computer, but I do NOT want it deleted from my MacBook Pro.
How do I get around this? I'm assuming something is set up in iCloud to cause this and I want it stopped.

Okay then, you need to make sure that your phone isn't able to delete your emails from the server by accessing your email account settings and looking for the correct setting. As I don't have a CenturyLink email account I'm unable to point you to the correct setting I'm afraid. You might be able to change your email account to an IMAP account which might be a better option for you.
In the meantime, you can still read your emails on the phone and delete them later using your PC which is how I manage one of my email accounts (POP3). My other IMAP accounts always keep a copy of my mail on the server.

Deleting Mail accounts

Hi everyone,
I have a 10.4.10 mail server. We recently had some people leave and I would like to remove their mail accounts. Is this as simple as removing their user accounts in WGM or is there a utility I have to run?
TIA!

Itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad beacuse the mail accounts are in use by the ipad

hi all just syncing pc and ipad after 7.0.3 upgrade and get the message that itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad because mail accounts are in us eby the ipad. i know i have seen several older threads on this,. but now cant find them. any ideas how to get over this problem message? many thanks

When my icloud account is attached to my device I go to mail, contacts, calendars, and there is absolutely no way to remove my mail account. When I deleted my icloud account it suddenly gave me a way to delete and readd my mail account, and synching became feasible again. Synching wasn't possible for me, when I had an icloud account. I suppose the icloud idea still isn't feasible, at least Ican't figure out how to use it.

Mail Account Available To All Users

The family iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2, I configured Mail with my mobileme account. Every user that logs in has my mail account configured when they log in automatically. How can I stop this from happening.
Thanks

Hi baltwo,
I have created standard accounts for other members/users. Auto login is off. When I remove my mail account from the application, it shows up again.
Well, I finally figured it out. The problem came from and originated with my MobileMe account. It was logged in under the MobileMe setting in Preferences. Once I logged out, that took care of it.
Thanks

E72 - Removing email account.

Hi!
I would like to remove my email account from my e72 but i don't know how.
Solved!

I also have a problem removing Hotmail from the Nokia E72.
I had used the Nokia Messaging to create mailboxes for Ovi Mail, Yahoo mail and GMail on the E72 (I recall the Yahoo mail was creating using the built-in Nokia Messaging, while the Ovi Mail required web access / 3G/GPRS to created, Gmail also created with built-in app).
However, I didn't create a Hotmail mailbox on the cellphone. It appears to be automatically created when I installed Windows Live Messenger for Symbian (from here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/windows-live ).
I was testing the Windows Live Messenger for S60 (I didn't register for a Hotmail email but used another email address).
After removing the Windows Live Messenger, the Hotmail mailbox is still there, now replaced with a "?" icon. The Hotmail mailbox isn't listed in the Email Settings (only Ovi Mail / Yahoo mail / Gmail mailboxes are listed), so I can't find a way to remove the mailbox.
The Hotmail mailbox seems to be different from the Ovi / Yahoo / Gmail mailboxes since it appears on the top line. Also, there's a single Hotmail message "Windows Live Hotmail Services - Welcome to Windows Live" -- I can view the "list" view (message subject headers) only but can't "enter" the message to view the message content.
How do I remove this Hotmail mailbox?
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem but with a gmail account through SEVEN systems on an E71. After uninstalling and reinstalling SEVEN (in an effort to remove inactive mailboxes) I now have 3 blank duplicate mailboxes with question marks next to them which I have no idea how to remove. If i reinstall SEVEN then I am able to open the mailboxes, though they are empty and not active (they are all for the same account). When I go to Messaging>Settings>Email and highlight the mailbox I am only given the option to edit rather than delete.
I am really frustrated, any assistance would be gratefully received

E72: Removing Email account from a restore and lar...

I removed all my push mail accounts and went manual because my battery life is longer that way. I also purged my account from email.nokia.com. Recently, my IMAP mail from google stop working. I thought it was because of some corrupted data in the phone, so I tried removing and recreating the mailbox numerous times, reboot and all but nothing works. It simply doesn't get mails past a certain date/time.
I did a hard reset, shift+space+backspace+poweron and re-setup everything. I still encountered the same problem on my E72. So I did a restore using the Ovi application. Nightmare begins.
I restored the 'push mail' accounts which no longer exist because I have previously removed them from email.nokia.com. Now when I try to remove the mailbox, it says 'you need to connect to xx to remove it.' Obviously I cannot connect because that account no longer exists. And the 2 mailboxes spam me with prompts for passwords and neither can log on. I had to hard-reset again and setup everything from scratch thanks to this stupid problem.
I eventually traced the problem to 2 emails which are exceptionally long. People just reply and reply and reply until the mail became about 20 pages long. Let's say I have 30 mails in my gmail 1-30. Mail 10 and 15 are the long ones. If I sync, it will only retrieve 1-9, then get stuck there. If I go to gmail to delete 10, it will sync until 14 then get stuck there. When it is 'stuck', it just connects and disconnects right away, without attempting to retrieve my mail 16-30.
I tried again using pushmail. Push mail works with that large mail 15 probabaly because it is retrieved server-side.
Please advise. How to solve these issues? It is quite frustrating... I don't want to use google's gmail application because you can't save attachments with that. And PDFs all become text files in gmail app's viewer.

Open Mail on the old laptop and in the Accounts section of its preferences click on your email account and then on the "-" button at the bottom. Then go into the User/Library folder and delete the Mail folder to remove all the old emails.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I remove an e-mail account from my Nokia e-...

On my Nokia 5230 I'm using the Nokia e-mail client: http://store.ovi.com/content/8794 . This works fine for me. Yesterday I encountered a little proplem which I cannot resolve so far. I want to remove an e-mail account from my account list and I cannot find a option to do that. Within the menu I can find an option where I can change the settings for the different e-mail accounts, but there is no menu option "remove account". If someone knows a solution please feel free to share it with me.
