How to delete mail account if I can't get into Mail?

I hope someone can help me here...
On my new Mac Mini, I had Mail up and running, but now, when I start Mail, I get the spinning beachball. I'm pretty sure it's the settings for one of my email accounts (Demon) - my .mac account seems ok.
So I'd like to get to the preference settings for my Demon account, which might be causing the problems, but once I go into mail - I just get the beachball! So a catch-22 problem.
Is there a way of deleting the Demon account from outside of Mail? Should I reinstall Mac OS if that would help?
Thanks
Alasdair

...because it downloaded mail on loading Mail, but not from the Demon account.
HOWEVER, I have now found the Sys Pref Mail panel and deleted both .Mac and Demon accounts there (D'oh! Should have remembered it was there). When I set up the .Mac/Cloud email account again - same thing happens. Mail freezes with the spinning beachball.
Mail works fine on my wife's account in the Mac (using Mail and .Mac account).
I'm now reinstalling Mac OS. and if that fails will try using Opera or Postbox instead.

How deactivate Web premium CS4 when I can't get into my old computer (crashed)?

Hi,
At Adobe's website it says:
"What happens if my computer is stolen or damaged and cannot be repaired?
If your computer is stolen, damaged beyond repair or the hard drive is completely re-imaged, the activation will be lost. In either case you can install and start using the Adobe product on your new computer, which will automatically detect the problem if you already had two computers activated. The activation process will guide you through the new activation, even if the prior computer is no longer available."
My computer has crashed but Adobe has not detected this, so I can't install my program on my new computer. What do I do?
Thank you for answering! :-)

Hi!
There was no problem installing it on my new computor, but it says that i have to deactivate my earlier installation (within 30 days) since i have already installed it on two compters (i need to have the program on both my lap top and my stationary computer)

Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
These were the steps:
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
-- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
Then:
Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
-- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
All done!
Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

I just bought iphone 3 off of someone and i cant figure out how to delete her accounts and put mine on? like facebook

i bought an iphone 3 off of a lady and i need to find out how to delete her accounts so i can set mine up

Settings - General - Reset - Erase All Content and Settings.
You can then set the phone up as yours.

I need to get into my old account and get my addresses and then cancel the old account but can not get into it. Had to change my user name when I moved and now I can't get into Firefox. Can't remember the old password. What to do??

I moved during the summer. I changed to highspeedand & when I set my computer up it told me that my email address was already in use so I had to change it(????) I changed from jkady to [email protected] I tried to change it on firefox but it would not except the new name and I could not get into my old account.I need all my addresses and would like to cancel the old account but I can not get into it. This is very frustrating!!!!! I need my addresses!!!!!!!!

I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
This is just stupid now.

Open Mail and go to Preferences>Accounts. You can just highlight the unwanted account and click on the "-" at the bottom.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password. If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID. There's no way around this and no one else can help.

How to delete EMAIL accounts

I am using Nokia E72. could you please suggest how to delete EMAIL accounts from Mobile

If the accounts have been set up with Nokia Messaging, then go to email.nokia.com, log in there with the details of the first account you set up, and then you can delete accounts you don't need.
Once done when the phone next syncs it will remove them from the phone.
If they are manually configured accounts, then on the phone, just go to Email->Settings-> scroll to the account -> Options -> Remove mailbox
