How to delete an email account? I created 2 of the...

So I accidentally ran "Start email setup" twice for my same yahoo account. There are now 2 of them on the Messaging main screen, one called "yahoo" and one called "yahoo001". They are exactly the same. I want to delete "yahoo001". For the life of me, I see no way to do this...is there a way? I only have one email account, so changing the settings on one of them would not help me, I need it deleted.
Thanks in advance.

You need to go into email settings to delete an account, as follows:
Communic. --> Messaging --> Options --> Settings --> E-mail
Then scroll down until the email account you want to delete is selected, and choose:
Options --> Delete
and then you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete it.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

How to delete an email account in N97mini?

Hi there,
I'm trying to delete one of my email aacounts from my phone N97MINI as I don't use that particular address anymore. But how can I remove one of my email accounts in my N97 Mini phone?
Apparently, it is not the same way as a N97 phone:
From the Email launcher screen on your device, select the Settings icon.
Scroll to the account you want to remove.
Select Options-Remove mailbox.
Select Yes.
This does not work with a N97 mini as I can't select a Settings Icon from the Email launcher...

How to delete icloud email account and get a new one

I have been getting alot of unwanted email in my icloud account. Is there anyway to deelte an icloud email and start a new one??

You can't delete it, but you can create an email alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a. Just be aware that an alias address cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account.
After creating your alias, you can set up an email rule at icloud.com that will send email addressed to your main iCloud email addres to the trash or junk folder, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

How can I delete and inactive email account form my iPhone 5? When I go through the Mail, contacts, calendars tab and select the account I want to delete, I do not receive a red "delete this account" button. Any help would be appreciated. The account in question is an account of a now shuttered business and in light grey letters it says "Inactive" under the account.

HT201342 How delete iCloud email account?

How to delete iCloud email account? I subscribed to iCloud with hotmail email account and ended up wit another iCloud separate email account. Don't need two of them.

You can delete an account from your phone by simply tapping Delete Account, but you can't delete it from iCloud. You can only stop using it.

How to Delete an iCloud Account's Email (Not the Whole Account, Just the Email)

Hello,
A couple of years ago, before iCloud was iCloud and was actually MobileMe, I created my own email on it (an @me.com email) and have had it ever since. Even after it became iCloud, i've kept my @me.com email address and have it to this day. I've used it ever since I created it; however, I absolutely hate using it now, and I really want to just get rid of it. I constantly receive spam messages on it, and I have found Gmail to be a much better email service compared to iCloud. I have been trying to figure out how to delete the email itself and not the whole iCloud account; however, I find it very surprising that I haven't been able to find much information about this at all. I know how to delete the whole iCloud account, but all I want to delete is the email. Is there any possible way to do this? Or is my only solution to delete the whole iCloud account? If I deleted the whole iCloud account, would it affect my Apple ID in any way? If I deleted my iCloud account and it does not affect my Apple ID, then would it be possible for me to delete my iCloud account and create a new one without the email?
Currently, I only have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1.1 (I know. It seems very outdated nowadays. ). I also have a Windows 7 computer that I use to access icloud.com, but I don't have the iCloud program actually installed to it.
Thanks in advance and please help!

Sorry, but I believe there is no way to properly answer your question.Please start a live chat with Apple for assistance as i believe so their the only ones with the power as so, your email is used for recovery, purchase, and more!If it so changed, you'd need to restart your device, also, your best bet is to just to contact apple also.Didn't help?Sorry!Theres really no way...

How do I recover an old Apple ID password if I had deleted that email account (Apple ID Username)?

Somehow my wife's MacBook had a guest account with my old Apple ID. I no longer know the password for it (since I had gotten my iPhone, I had created a new Apple ID). I can't recover the password because I erased that email account and created a new one. I'm stuck and I really need to get into that Apple ID account. I tried to answer by security questions, but it says my birthday is incorrect, I wonder if this has to do with an invalid email account (Apple ID). Need help ASAP!

You don't. Apps are tied to whatever Apple Id bought/downloaded them and that can never change.
They will forever require that Apple Id to update. Apple IDs can not be deleted either.
If you do not remember the password for that AppleID you can go to http://iforgot.apple.com and try to reset it.

What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad.

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.

How to delete an iCloud account and turnoff Find my Phone for a email address that does not exist

I have switched my itunes account to a new email address but the iCloud account is still registered to the old email account which I can no longer access.
If I go to Settings>iCloud it requests my Apple ID password for the old email account but as this account does not exsist it does not accept the "old" password. it will not let me delete the account without turning off the Find My Phone app which aslo needs the old password.
A related probelm is none of my apps will update as they are on the old account hence the need to delete the iCloud email account and create the new iCloud with the new email sign on address.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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 (you won't need to verify it) and save the change. You should now be able to use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. After turning it off you can delete the account, go back change your ID back to the way it was again.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
