How can i delete my email account from 5230

I want to sell my 5230 as i have found i really dislike touchscreen phones. I have managed to delete everything from it and have restored factory settings but my email is still showing in a bar across the home screen. I have tried for hours to cancel it but just cant figure out how. Any help would be much appriciated.
I clearly also need help using this forum as i just posted this in completely the wrong section then couldnt work out how to move it. Sorry if you have read it twice.

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??

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

  • How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your second ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • 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.

  • How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

    I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
    I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

    but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
    If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call:  only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:

    @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.
