How do I delete an iPad email account in iOS7?

I want to delete my Verizon accounts to see if iOS7 will use the new servers when I add the accounts back, but I can't figure out how to delete the accounts.

On my iPad when I get to the page where I see my email accounts I pick the arrow to the right of the account. That opens another page that has mail, contacts, calendars, and more. If I scroll to the bottom of the page I see "delet account".

TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?

How do I delete my iCloud email account? I do not want it. Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail. for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC. I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones. I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address. Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens. So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.

Finally, you have answered my question!
I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

Wow, that's unbelievable! You'd literally never guess... Anyway, another "achievement" you can blow your own trumpet for is choosing the most apt username for yourself I think I have ever seen on these forums. Well done!

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

Then that is all you can do.
You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple account? When trying to activate my Apple account my old email keeps popping

How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple ID? When trying to login on to my Apple account with my ipad2 the old email account is still tagged as the primary account.

OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

How do I delete an old email account?

After change of internet service provider I need to delet an old email account. How can I do so?

In a similar problem, I have an old work email that is imported to mac mail / icloud. Following the advice above (
Mail Preferences/accounts, advanced tab and click disable this account.
You can re-enable this account to check for anything that may have come in there.) doesn't help because the only account that shows up is my icloud/mac account.
Any advice to no longer receive imported mail from the old work address?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How do I delete a MobileMe email account from iPad that has iCloud on it?

I Have an iPhone 4s that I installed iCloud on during the setup process. My iPhone, iPad and PC sync properly. However, my iPad email settings display both the MobileMe and iCloud accounts (with identical settings to each other). Sometimes, the iPad receives duplicate emails, but not all of the time. When I try to delete the MobileMe account through the iPad email settings, the delete/disable option does not appear. My iPhone and my PC, with Outlook email, only have one email account setup, iCloud. My PC is using Windows 7 (64bit) and Outlook 2010. So, how do I get the MobileMe off of my iPad?

Also FIXED, after reading Ned the Nerd's solution to delete the iCloud account, which is actually the account I wanted to keep. After I deleted the iCloud account in the Mail/Contacts/Calendar settings, I was able to go into the MobileMe account, turn everything off, and then I was asked if I wanted to delete the MobileMe account. After deleting the MobileMe account, I clicked back on the iCloud icon, still displayed in the settings, and logged back into iCloud. All of my email, contacts and caledars restored perfectly, and now there is only the one iCloud email account displaying in my email app. Thanks Ned!

How do I delete a icloud email account?

I just set up an icloud email account and realised I misspelt my name in the address..my original primary address is a non apple email account..can I delete the icloud mail address or is it linked forever to my primary address? How do I do it if possible. I'm using an ipad and iPhone linked on icloud..

You can't change the icloud email address without creating a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an alias address with the correct spelling. It will operate just as your current address does, receiving email in your curren iCloud inbox. Just don't ever delete the alias or you won't be able to reactivate it. This explains how to add an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

How can I Delete a MobileMe Email Account and Kill Duplicate Messages?

When I select "All Inboxes" on my iPhone 4s, I see duplicates of each and every message I receive. Furthermore, the duplicate can't be deleted and I get an error message informing so! I suspect this phenomenon is occurring because I have both an iCloud and a MobileMe account. I want to cancel the MobileMe one.
Here's the deal:
My iPhone 4s lists three email accounts, including a "MobileMe" one that I want to delete because I believe it is delivering duplicate messages. However, I can't seem to figure out how to delete the MobileMe's email account or, for that matter, MobileMe itself. Apple support screens refer to cancelling a MobileMe account but are not clear on how to actually do it.
1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
4. I want to keep the iCloud and Bellsouth/Yahoo accounts but delete the MobileMe one but I can find no way on this screen or any other iPhone 4s screen to do so. Nor do I see any path to do so in iTunes. And the MobileMe account doesn't even show up in the Apple email app on the laptop to which I sync my iPhone.
If I go to www.me.com and log into my MobileMe account, there is no apparent way to disable, delete or otherwise cancel it. Why?
I am convinced that the simultaneous presence of both iCloud and MobileMe accounts is responsible for the double email messages when I select to view "All inboxes" on my iPhone. (A workaround is to simply select just one of the accounts, say, the iCloud one. Then I see only one copy of each message. That's OK but surely there is some way to kill off this redundant MobileMe account AND the duplicate messages, yes???

First, thanks for the reply. And, I believe you are exactly right that the names are the same. However, when I go (on my iPhone) as you suggest to "Settings," "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," only two accounts are showing; my Mac account and my Bellsouth one. If I select either, I get an option to delete but the duplicate "MobileMe" account does not appear. It only shows up, as described above, if I:
1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
It's nutso, I admit, but true. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

How do I delete an old email account from my system

I was asked to update a password to our company email account and I updated. Then I had to update the password on my iphone. Now my iphone won't send any emails out because it is asking for an update to an email account that was never associated with this iphone (the email account was from a former employer). It must have been restored or synced to my iphone or tied to iTunes through syncing. I deleted the old employer phone from itunes when I left the job and purchased a new iphone.
But now my new iphone is not sending emails because it says that the old email account does not recognize the new password. And there is no old email account to delete. I've looked in my itunes acccount to try to delete there as well and can find nothing to delete from the old account.

Very interesting, thank you for the update.
I would next reset the network settings on the phone, in case there is some info there that is stuck and causing the issue:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
I would also check these locations to see if the account is signed in anywhere else as an Apple ID in your Settings:
iCloud
iTunes & App Stores
Messages
FaceTime
Game Center
If not I would as a last resort, backup your iPhone with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article and test the issue:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If the issue persists when restored, then restore it as a new device and test the issue to help isolate the data in the backup.

How can I delete my old email accounts on my phone...

i have several email account that i cant seem to be able to delete on my nokia n97 mini series.
Moderator's note: We amended the title of this post as we moved it to the most appropriate board.

Hi, mpeza. @Srikanthsd's suggestion should enable you to delete your email accounts on your phone. If this doesn't work, you can share with us the error message that you are getting, if there's any. Also, rebooting the phone would be a great idea to refresh the phone's software. To do this, kindly turn off the phone, remove the battery and wait for a few seconds. After that, return them back to their proper place and switch it on. Keep us posted.
