How do I delete an old Microsoft exchange email account from my phone without it automatically deleting many of my contacts?

I have an old Microsoft Exchange Email Account on my phone that I no longer use. I never synced my contacts with this email account. Yet, if I delete it, it destroys my contacts. Do I just need to have this email account permanently on my phone? It's really annoying and I want to get rid of it, but have no idea what to do. Thanks!

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.
If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps - you should be able to logout of the old account via Settings > Store and log in with you new account for new purchases.

  • Can't set up microsoft EXCHANGE EMAIL ACCOUNT

    Tried everything to set up a microsoft exchange email account and the mail setup wizard tells me to go to the microsoft online website to log in instead.
    Has anyone had any luck setting it up through the mail application?
    Thanks.

    Was it a hotmail or outlook . com account you were trying to setup ? Both of those accounts can only use pop without a third party program.

    No.  The data that you downloaded from your iPhone will remain on your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • 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.

  • Delete email account from my phone

    I want to delete an email account from my Droid Razr Maxx.  I set up my Yahoo account on my phone.  I did not realize that I was going to get all the mail including the hundreds of spam I get daily on this account.  I dont want to delete it, I just dont want it to get to my phone. 

    Ok so what one do you want to do away with if it's a Gmail account i would keep it unless it's getting really bad but one thing if you do get rid of it you have to Factory Reset to Remove the Gmail account Now if this is another Email say like AOL you can remove it by just going to accounts and going to the one in Question and remove it, then put your Yahoo in it's place one thing i would recommend doing is after you remove the Account go the home Screen perform a Soft Reset and then go back and add the Account when your phone comes back on..

  • All contacts gone after deleting old Outlook (exchange) mail account from iphone.  How to get contacts back?

    I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone.  How can I get them back?  Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts?  Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
    When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu.  The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them --->  phone to itunes or itunes to phone.  Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes.  I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost.  If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option.  Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
    By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
    Help.

    Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove.  This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts.  They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

  • How do I delete an email account from my phone and add a new one?

    I have 3 Email Accounts set-up on my phone and would like to delete one and set-up a new one. The problem is that all 3 accounts are muted so I can't select one to delete. The "Add Account" button is also muted so I can't select that button either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

    Thank you so very much! That was just what I needed to do, problem solved.

  • Can a Microsoft exchange email account be set up in mac mail?  It is a 2003 exchange account

    I am trying so far in with no luck to try and set up an exchange email in Mac mail.  Apple support seemed to want to get rid if me and just said that exchange 2003 is too old th work with mac mail.  Is this true or is there any way to get this set up?

    No, not if it's Exchange 2003.  You will have issues with it.  2007 was the first support for Mac Mail or Outlook on the Mac side that syncs with the newest protocols Mac uses, but even that was flaky.  Exchange 2010 is the best version minimum for proper and easy support for new Mac email integration.
    Also, even OWA on 2003 will have a few screen glitches on it too through pretty much any browser short of IE, which you can't run on Mac unless you run Windows in a Parallels environment.
    About the only thing you could do is do POP or IMAP with Exchange 2003, but those aren't configured out of the box on the server.

  • How do I set up a Microsoft outlook email account on my iPhone and iPad?

    How do I set up Microsoft outlook email on my iPhone and iPad?

    The iPhone does not sync mail message with a desktop client. Only with the server. If bigpond doesn't have adequate server side mail filtering, maybe you should create a gmail account for yourself and set that up on the phone.
    You can configure gmail to fetch the mail from your bigpond account. The server side filtering on gmail is excellent. I see very little spam and there are very few false positives.

  • How to prevent exchange email account from sending emails in Outlook

    Hello,
    I'm using Outlook 2010 with two email accounts. First account is set up with pop/smtp (hosted email), Second account is set up with local exchange server 2003 (not full exchange, only used to store emails, calendars, public folders). For sending & receiving
    emails we use hosted email account pop/smtp, which is default account.
    The problem is when I receive meeting request.....if i hit Accept > Send the Response Now, for some reason it will try to send from the Exchange account (which is not set up for sending emails).
    The only workaround I know is to hit Accept > Edit the Response before Sending > change account from exchange to pop and send.
    Would you please help me if there is a fix or any way to disable exchange account from sending emails !!
    Thanks a lot !!!

    When the meeting is added to the exchange calendar, it wants to send the response. One way to solve it (and i think the easiest) is to configure the exchange account to send mail using a smart host. Configure your hosted email address as the default smtp
    address - the server will send any mail it receives and the address on it will be your correct internet address.
