How do I sign out of my gmail account from my imac

Hello, I'm new to apple imac. How do I sign out/logg off out of my gmail e-mail account so that any & everyone who sits at me computer can open the mail app and read all of my e-mails?

I don't think you can log out of Mail, it's either launched and available or it isn't.
What I was suggesting is creating a totally separate Mac user account/accounts for other users of your Mac. When you use it you log in as you and have access to all your files/folders/emails/photos/music, etc. When you're done you log out of your account on the Mac from the Apple Menu, top left of the screen (this will prevent access to all your files by someone else). When someone else might want to use the computer they log in to their account or you may create a generic account for all other casual users. The instructions above explains how to create this secondary account on your Mac.
If you wish, you can also set the screen to require your password when it wakes up, which would also stop other people having access to your Mac once the screen saver has kicked in: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General tab.
System Preference can be found under the Apple menu (top left), on the Dock (normally) or in the Applications folder.

  • How can I sign out of my iCloud account from a macbook I no longer have access to?

    I got a new macbook recently and neglected to sign out of my iCloud account on the old macbook before I erased and reset it.  Now eveytime I open a new Safari page on my iPhone, both macbooks show up with the Safari windows that are still "open".  I want to remove my old mac from my iCloud account and have removed it from Find My iPhone but the Safari link still shows up.  This is driving me bonkers.

    If you mean the iCloud tabs for your old Mac, these will normally be cleared after 14 days.  Give it a couple of weeks and see if they don't disappear on their own.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372:
    "If you no longer have access to the device that shared the tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 14 days, if the tab is not updated."
    Also, seeing the iCloud tab doesn't mean it's still signed into your account.  It just means that the tab hasn't been cleared yet.  If you completely erased it should no longer be signed into your account.

  • How do I log out of my gmail account with my ipad 1 retina?

    Ipad 1
    I cannot log out of my gmail account, can you help?  I cannot find the log out button.

    Are you talking about the native mail app that came with the ipad?
    If so there is no log off feature, you simply close out of the mail app.

  • How do I sign out of my iTunes account?

    I want to sign out of the itunes account that I currently have and into a different one and I can't find this option. I also can't connect to wifi and therefore the iTunes application on my phone, but I can to my computer. Where do I sign out of this account?

    Can't be done directly on the iPhone. Sign out in iTunes > Store menu on the computer, sign into the other account, then sync. The iPhone simply matches it's account info to the one active in iTunes at the last sync.
    To change the Wi-Fi settings, go to Settings > WiFi. If you're connected to the network (showing a WiFi symbol), you can choose Forget this Network by tapping the little blue arrow to the right of the network name.

  • How do I sign out of my mail account?

    I am using an IPad2. When I log in to my yahoo email account through "Mail". I do not see where I can sign out. Can you help?

    You can turn the email account off, but there is not an option to log out. This is not webmail access using a browser. This is accessing the account with an email client and the same does not apply.

    Hello hblack123
    If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

  • How can I sign out of hotmail after using it on my ipad mini?

    How do I sign out of my Hotmail account after using it on my ipad mini?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.
