How can I delete an email account on my iPod that doesn't exist

I Need to delete an email account on my iPod that doesnt exist but it keeps coming up - why ?

Got it!
In the Settings there is a Restrictions portion that was toggled on. I entered my passcode and under "Allow Changes" I toggled the Accounts tab to "On". Then went bact to the Mail, Contacts, Calendars tab and was allowed to delete the account.

How can I delete an email account off of my MacBook?

I have an email account that I no longer use, I would like to delete it off of my MacBook (the entire email account, not just the mailbox). I am so confused as to how to do this!
Thanks so much for any help you can give!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Last time I did that, in mail preferences under accounts, highlight the account and push the minus symbol down below. That should delete both the account and any mail associated with that account.

@Lysin: If you bought it second hand and it has content on it, the first thing I would do is to clean everything up by doing a soft reset and formatting the memory card. This will delete everything that he has installed. It will also delete whatever you've installed after getting the phone.
If there's something you want to keep, make a back up first.
Doing a soft reset and a format of the memory card should make your device as brand new.
If the phone is originally branded and there was installed applications on it from the provider etc, this will also much likely be deleted. But as it is second hand, I guess that won't be a big deal if it is installed any bloatware on it.

HT204053 how can i delete an old account. I forgot that accounts password.

I need to delete an old account, i forgot the password to that account.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you are talking about an iCloud account on your device. You can't actually delete accounts, only delete them from your device and stop using them. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

No-one seems to have come up with a "proper" answer here, so after ages of struggling I managed to find the very confusing, long winded way of simply deleting an e-mail account:
Tap Messaging, tap the e-mail account once to select it (don't go into it, select only), tap Options, Settings, Email, Mailboxes, tap on the account you want to delete, Options, Delete.
Surely this could be an Options "option" from the main messaging screen??

Sign out of iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud)

Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,
GB

How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)
