Email Account cannot be deleted ?

Hi
I have a really weird problem.
My Gmail account is added to the Mac OS X system (mail app) together with some other email accounts.
But today i wanted to delete my Gmail account, but every time i delete it. It reapers again ???
I have tried to delete it from inside the mail app it self and also from the system settings/e-post.
And no matter what i do. The Gmail account comes back. Totally strange i can't delete this **** Gmail
account from my system.
Hope someone knows whats going on.. Thanks

In V2 > MailData do you see Accounts.plist

Do you still see your accounts? If yes, can you delete the gmail account now?

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

Why do I periodically have emails that cannot be deleted?

I have a few emails that cannot be deleted and show up with an old date. How can I get rid of them?

I assume that they are dated something like 31/12/1969 ?
Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

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.

I think you have to turn off Private Browsing.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

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.

Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation. When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.

Iphone 5S email doesn't mirror netzero email account - cannot delete emails

When I delete emails on iphone 5s, message aren't really deleted on netzero email account. Also, after deleting messages on pc, same email still shows up on phone.

The best I can tell, Netzero's mail service is limited to POP, which presents some issues when using on multiple devices unless you stick to the web interface. With POP, the messages are downloaded to the device, either leaving them on the srrver (menaing you will still get them on other devices) or removing them from the server (you will ONLY get them on the devoce you first download them to). You might want to contct NetZero to see if there are any options. However, I strongly recommend finding an IMAP based mail provider for a multidevice scenario. Gmail, Apple's iCloud mail are two examples, but there are more. Not clear if NetZero offers IMAP or not.

Email account cannot delete

I was trying to remove my gmail account from my palm pre, so i went to the email account through the preferences and accounts tab. When I click on my gmail account and then select to remove the account my phone thinks for a few seconds and then brings me back to the preferences and accounts page, but my gmail account is not deleted. When i go look at my main email page its obvious that my gmail folders have all been deleted except for my outbox folder. I tried to readd my gmail account hoping it would basically reinstall all the folders i lost, however it says that i have a duplicate account...ie my previous gmail account did not fully delete, still will not delete no matter how many times i restart my phone and attempt to remove it, and there is no way to get my gmail folders, save my outbox back. help.

Update: I went back and checked about 30 min later and the Yahoo! account was fully gone... and I was able to add it back without a problem.
I hope you had the same luck!

Single email account, cannot open inbox

Hi,
I've switched email accounts, and had to change it on my iPod Touch. I've added my new Gmail account, made sure it worked, and then removed my ISP's email account. I've had 2 email accounts for about an hour.
After deleting the old account, I found I was unable to access the inbox of my gmail account in Mail.
Even rebooting it, removing the one account left, and adding a bogus account did not fix it. Adding the bogus account did give me access to the unified inbox, but after removing it, I was stuck without being able to access the inbox.
Does anyone know how I can access both my inbox and the other folders, without adding a bogus account...
Thanks!!

Does anyone have a thought on this issue? I'm not finding any new things I can do...

Outlook 2010 - One of My Email Accounts Keeps Archiving/Deleting Emails

I have three email accounts on my one Outlook 2010 program. This problem is only happening to one of them.
At the end of the week (Friday) I close out of my email. Whether I use my email again over the weekend doesn't matter, come Monday morning - all the past emails in that one account are gone. I'm not sure if they are being archived or just deleted. I checked
my Archive settings and I have it set on "Do not archive items in this folder."
Not sure what I need to do, the settings on this one problematic account appear to match the settings on my other two (which are not experiencing this problem).
I would appreciate any feedback/help.

Hi,
What type of email account do you use (POP, IMAP, MAPI or Exchange)? Do you mean it's a weekly recurring problem?
Any tools/add-ins on both Outlook client and mail server side, which might backup emails weekly?
You might also want to check if there are any corruptions in your Outlook data file, try to use
scanpst.exe tool to repair your data file:

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.
