How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
Hello all,
How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
When I go here: Mail > Preferences Mail > Accounts
I got the message that I needed to delete it from my Internet Accounts.
When I go here: System Preferences > Internet Accounts > select the account >
I cannot select or click the minus sign on the bottom left to delete the account because it does not appear in the list.
Yet the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
The email account no longer appears in the left column where all my email accounts are in Apple Mail as I have deleted that domain and no longer use it, so the email was deleted at the server level. However, again, the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
This is driving me bananas!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
~ Angela
If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.

I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to doHi,
Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

Open up Mail, hit Command, and the Comma, and then go to accounts, select your account you want to delete and hit the minus symbol!

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 change the default email account from which my messages go, without having to change it each time I draft a message? It currently assumes an email account that I rarely use. Thanks.
