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!

If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?

Hi,
Does any one know how to Disable/Hide "BCC" from outlook/owa in office 365?
Thank You.

Hi Kavin,
You can try the below steps on the OWA server box,
search for this file name in explorer
File name: "messageoptionsdialog.aspx"
open this file in notepad
search for "chkbcc" you'll find something like this "input type="checkbox" id="chkBcc"
you need to update the LINE BEFORE IT to <td style="visibility:hidden">
Try this and let me now if this worked
Although I've not tried this for the OUTLOOK client, you can try this and check if you need
But this has worked for OWA for one of my client
I'm also not very sure if this can be achieved on all of your outlook users from a server admin point of view, coz this is a client feature and not a user specific active directory attribute.
Thanks & Regards

How to disable PUT/DELETE method in SMC tomcat

Hi,
SMC provides tomcat as the web server to allow logon the SMC console through IE.
For security consideration, we have to disable the http "PUT" and "DELETE" method of tomcat. Its config file seems to be /opt/SUNWsymon/web/conf/catalina.policy, but I have no knowledge of this file.
Do anyone know how to disable PUT/DELETE method in tomcat? Or provide me a reference book for this issue?
Thanks a lot.

no knowledge of this file.I'm not sure how to disable that feature, but be aware if you disable the ability for Agents to send files to the SunMC web server you may break all Configuration Tasks. Agent config files are sent to the Server by HTTP to allow them to be stored as templates/snapshots.
I don't remember seeing instructions on how to make the changes you want: the quickest way to find out is probably to call SunMC support.

How do I permanently delete a contact?

How do I permanently delete a contact? I've deleted in my contacts and his number still appears when I go to type a new message.

To completely remove it, you would have to restore your phone.
I've read in other threads that in due time, the number will eventually get deleted.
A work around is to use symbols or just other letters for that number, so that way when you type the name it won't show up.

I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

HOW TO DISABLE THE VIEW OF CONTACT

Hi
I want to know how to disable contact view from a friend taking my phone

buy I want to disable any search in full contact list
how to do this ?
help,

You cannot selectively lock the address book app. If all contacts are sync'd online you can delete the account. However, the all around better approach would be to backup the device and do a security wipe before loaning it.

How to disable/deactivate/delete iCloud email address

Like most people, I have a number of different e-mail accounts for a variety of different reasons (Yahoo, GMail, iCloud/@me). I'm trying to get it down to just one, where all my personal, work, etc. e-mails can go. Ideally, I would have like to have just my iCloud e-mail (mine is an [email protected] instead of an [email protected]) but since I have found it to be impossible to have an Apple ID that is not associated with an outside e-mail address (currently a GMail account), it seems like I won't get my preference, unless anyone here knows something I don't.
Here's my dilemma. How do I deactivate my iCloud email address? I realize that I could simply stop using it, but I have contacts that I'm not necessarily in consistent contact with, so if they e-mail me, and it doesn't bounce back because the account has been deleted, they'll never know, and I'll never check. Is there anyway to delete/disable/deactivate your iCloud e-mail address so that the account cannot receive e-mails? Like when you delete a GMail account and try to send an e-mail to that address afterwords, you get the mailer-daemon response.

Your GMail ID is simply the login; you can just use your iClour email address. If Apple are using the GMail address as a contact you can enable forwarding from GMail to your iCloud address. You do have an @icloud.com address as well as an @me.com address. However you cannot make either of these your ID/login.
You cannot delete an iCloud account nor the primary address. If you want to abandon it you could set up forwarding from iCloud to whatever address you want to use. Go to http://www.icloud.com , go to the Mail page and click the cogwheel icon at bottom left. In the first pane which opens there is a section to forward mail.
