How to get rid of some old mail accnt?

I feel so stupid... I've got a couple of disused mail accounts (imported from a previous Mac), I'm trying to delete them with the "Delete Mailbox..." function, I'm getting the usual warning message ("...action cannot be undone."), I then hit the confirming Delete button.... and nothing happens. Can somebody set me straight on this?

to delete an account go to mail preferences->accounts, select an account and click on "-" at the bottom.

    How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

    You can't.  That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused.  Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

  • How to get rid of automatically created Mail and iCal accounts on client?

    I have recently setup an OS X 10.6 Server for our small office. I got the domain name wrong in the initial install and fixed this by doing a complete clean reinstall of OS X 10.6 server (now upgraded to 10.6.4).
    The problem is that one of the OS X 10.6.4 clients had been setup to talk to the server prior to the rebuild. Now on this client, I cannot work out how to get rid of or change the automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail - everytime you login, these are recreated using the old domain name (and of course don't work).
    In Mail if you remove the server account (from Accounts in Preferences), it just pops back again. I even removed every trace of the old domain name from the apple.com.mail.plist file but when I re-open Mail that darned server account (with the old domain name) just pops up again.
    In iCal its slightly different in that you can remove the account and it stays away while you have iCal open. But as soon as you close and re-open it, that server account just pops up again!
    I thought it might be something to do with Kerberos and found a Kerberos file on the client which had the old domain name throughout it - I changed all these references to the new domain name, but still the same behaviour in Mail and iCal.
    This is doing my head in. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem. Every time that I open iCal on the client a new account is created and an error message shown that I cannot login. I can delete the wrong account in the iCal preferences. However, as soon as I restart, the account and the error message are back.
    How do I "unbind" and "rebind" a client? I searched the "Mac OS X Server
    Open Directory Administration Version 10.6 Snow Leopard" but the only reference to "binding" seems to be in the context of Active Directory which I don't have.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How to get rid of an old account?

    How do I get rid of an old itunes account, it pops up when using my ipad or iphone but not when using itunes on the computer.  I have checked my account id on my computer and it has the current, right account. What do I need to do?  Also one other question....how do I delete songs or albums? I have right clicked on them in the music library and then delete, then delete again, and I have deleted from my trash can but they keep popping up ready to download again.  Sorry for so many questions.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Michelle

    Sign out of that account on your ipad/iphone and sgn into the right one.
    This is covered in the settings section of the manual.
    Any apps purchased using the old account will always be tied to that account and will always hve to be updated using that account.

  • How to get rid of flag in mail

    I downloaded the new Lion, and mail has this new fonction of flag.  But it put a flag on all messages and it take 4 step to delete a message now.  How do I get rid of this fonction.  Basicaly I don't want any flag ever!!!!!

    Use PreparedSatement class,
    e.g.
    // Where the name field is defined as char, i.e. needs quotes in SQL.
    String sql = "select * from person where name = ? ";
    PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareSatement(sql);
    statement.setString(1, "Bob");
    statement.executeQuery();
    This will get rid of hardcoding db vendor dependant quotes in your sql,
    Hope this helped.

    Check the System Preferences again under Accounts. Choose your account and then check the startup items. You've probably got one in there that is looking for an item which no longer exists.

  • How to get rid of an old version of Keychain

    I have two versions of Keychain that show up when I look in the system information area.  I suspect one is from my old laptop when I did the migration.  I have been getting errors saying Keychain is not supported by Lion and I suspect it is because the computer is trying to access the old version.  Can anyone tell me how to remove the old app but keep the password info that should be somewhere in this new computer?

    Drag it to the Trash and empty. You may be prompted for your login password.

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

  • How to get rid of old folders from Network window?

    I'm not sure if this is a network question or a Finder question ...
    In my Network window are a bunch of old folders, left over from a couple of MS Windows machines that I touched at some point but will never meet again. I can't delete them. Their permissions are set to read-only. I tried to give myself delete permissions with chmod but was told it was a read-only file system. So how do I get rid of these old items?
    Thanks for the help.
    Paloma

    I have more information which my be helpful. I think the directories which are created in /Network are in part originated from a list of previous workgroups.
    Open Directory Access, authenticate, then select SMB/CIFS and click Configure... . The top menu displays a list of workgroups. What I seem to get is a list of all the workgroups I've ever been connected to and this list largely corresponds with the directories created in /Network. Sadly, you can't delete these workgroups from Directory Access.
    More intriguingly, the directories go away when I'm not connected to a network so somewhere in the system there is a list of workgroups stored away. The only problem is where? I heven't been able to determine this yet.
    Also, I think workgroups and domains may be interchangeable here.
