How to remove gmail-account from Mail

Now that my MobileMe-mail is up and running, and the mails to my gmail-account are forwarded to MM, I want to remove the gmail-account from the sidebar in Mail. However, when I right click theaccount I want to remove and click "delete mailbox" nothing happens, and the gmail-account still appears in the sidebar.
Does anyone know what I should do to delete it?

In Mail, select the File -> Preferences menu. Click on Accounts in the toolbar. Select your gmail account on the list on the left and press the Advanced tab. Uncheck the Enable This Account box. That should do it.

    After I follow all steps to choosing accounts and then selecting the gmail account it wants me to log in and I do and then I can do nothing to delete it even going to the bottom, bottom. It is as if the account no longer is recognized as it also says it

  • How to remove farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application

    Hello Community
        Using Sharpoint 2010 Server I think the reason
    the User Profile Synchronization would stop is because somehow the farm
    account was registered as a managed account.  So I removed the farm
    account from all services that ran under the farm account so that I could
    run Remove-SPManagedAccount or click the Remove icon in manage service accounts
    and then unregisted farm account as a managed account.
       But before I can run Remove-SPManagedAccount I need to remove it from one more
    service account that uses the farm account which is:
        "Application Discovery and Load Balanceer Service Account".
        However, nothing seems to remove it from there.
        I tried :
    "get-spserviceapplication | where {$_.TypeName -match "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application"}
        and then
    "stop-spserviceinstance "dde7fbef-b068-4687-bedb-f67230efab5a"
        amongst a host of other methods so that I could ultimately
    unregister farm account as a managed account.
        But no matter what I do when I try to remove the farm account from Application Discovery
    and Load Balancer Service Application
    and then unregister the farm account as a managed account a message always says
    "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application" is using the farm account
    as its service account.
        What can I do to free the farm account from Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    The Farm Account is always a Managed Account and can never be "unmanaged". You don't have to set the automatic password roll.

  • How to remove duplicate messages from Mail in Mavericks (POP)

    Hello
    I'm having some significant problems with Apple Mail, and despite having researched widely, I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Here is my tale of woe...
    My set up is that I use Mail with 5 separate accounts, downloading all messages using POP. I keep all my mail so that I have a permanent record of all conversations, going back more than 10 years - this is about 250,000 emails. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks on a 2010 MBP. I have no intention of moving to IMAP - I need to keep a local archive of all my mail.
    A few months ago I was having problems with Mail being very slow to load and search emails. I decided to rebuild the mailboxes, but afterwards discovered that thousands of messages in the inbox of one of my accounts (and some of the sub-folders) had disappeared. Once I realised I tried to go back to a recent Time Machine back up, but, for whatever reason, that part of the back up hadn't worked properly and I was unable to recover the previous status. Ileft it while I decided what to do, and had time to deal with it.
    The last 2 years worth of emails on that account were still archived on gmail, so last week I decided to try redownloading the whole lot (something like 72,000 messages), and then uplanned to use one of the scripts I was aware of to remove the duplicates to the trash, and then remove any duplicates in the trash forever. That ought to mean I at least had an archive of the last two years of missing messages, even if I had no record of which ones had been flagged or replied to, etc.
    The downloading took about 24 hours to complete, and I now have almost 70,000 messages in the inbox of that account. However, I hadn't figured on two things:
    1. Mail 'hides' duplicate messages, meaning that all of the messages I've downloaded are showing as unread, and I can't differentiate the ones I already had in my Inbox, and the new downloads. When I click on those apparently unread messages I can see if they have been replied to or forwarded, etc, but there's no obvious way for me to remove the ones I have already dealt with to the trash, without going through them all manually, which is clearly impossible.
    2. The scripts I'd found for removing duplicates don't work. Andreas Amann's Remove Duplicates script doesn't work under Mavericks, and he has abandoned the project. I've also tried the remove-duplicate-messages.scpt made by Jolly Roger (http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/), and while it *sometimes* works on individual subfolders on my Mac (but as far as I can tell removes the duplicate in that folder, rather than the newly downloaded version), mostly it doesn't work at all - it creates a 'Remove Duplicate Messages' folder on my desktop, a log inside it and a folder for removed messages, but nothing appears in the duplicates folder.
    So, I'm left in a position where I have 70,000 apparently unread messages in my Inbox, a massively bloated Mail library (which has pretty much doubled in size), a slow and unresponsive Mail program. I figure I have a number of options. Either I could abandon the last week's efforts and revert to the version of

    I bought an ipad from eBay and can't download games because her email comes up as main.  How do I remove it and make my ipad remember mine

    I agree with Dah*Veed, but if you for some reason don't want to do that, you can simply sign out her Apple ID and then sign in with your own.

  • How to remove my picture from mail

    In Mail, when I send a email, I just noticed that the sender also gets a picture of me as the recieptant. How can this be corrected, I do not wont a picture of me attached to email.

    It uses the image from your contact card in the Contacts app. Find your card, click on the View menu and select Clear Custom Image.
    Also, note that this image only shows up on your computer, not the recipient's.

  • Removing Accounts From Mail, Contacts & Calendars

    So, I have a problem with something that's just idly bothering me. Recently I've deleted my Twitter account and have no idea how to remove the account from the list of accounts I have linked with my laptop in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars. It's probably a really simple fix, but I'm not computer savvy in the last. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Open System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and choose the Twitter account in the sidebar. Then, below this sidebar, you will see a - button:
    Press it and this Twitter account will be deleted

  • HT4207 how can I remove a specific gmail account from my ipad 4?

    How can I remove a specific Gmail account from my ipad 4?

    Assuming you are not syncing with iCloud and you mean, syncing with iTunes only...(you can only use one or the other for syncing to prevent duplicates)
    iTunes -
    - Open iTunes on your Mac. Connect your iPad. Then click on your iPad (either its name or just "iPad"), then click the info tab (right above the photo of an iPad in the middle). From here you can select sync contacts, then sync groups, and select the groups you want and choose Apply/Sync in the bottom left corner.
    iCloud -
    - With iCloud if you just sign into iCloud in System Preferences and turn on Contacts, it will prompt to merge all of your contacts that are not already syncing with Gmail or Yahoo!, etc. so there really isnt a way to pick and choose as much with that.
    - However if you really want to use iCloud and not iTunes, you could import the contacts that you want into iCloud.com, but you would need to export them from your Contacts App on your Mac and then import them into iCloud (VCard / .VCF is the format you want).
    * Exporting the contacts from your Mac Contacts Application --> http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/app-training/contacts-101-a-beginners-guide-to -contacts-on-os-x/ (further down the page)
    *Importing contacts into iCloud.com - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605
    **NOTE - Remember if you do the import into iCloud.com method, DO NOT sign into System Preferences > iCloud, and choose to MERGE contacts. If you do this later, all of your contacts will merge with iCloud and you will have duplicates of this group.
    I hope this isnt too confusing. Have a good night!

  • Unable to create new email from Gmail account in Mail

    I just installed gmail to retrieve messages within Mail: I can receive gmail messages and reply to gmail from Mail. However, I cannot create and send a new message in Mail using my gmail account; when I do I get the following error message:
    Enter Password for Account
    smtp.gmail.com:xxxx[account name]
    The SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com" rejected the password for user "xxx[account name]"
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel.
    No matter how many times I add it correctly and click OK, the same message returns.

    Google provides instructions for setting up a Gmail
    account in Mail here:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13
    275
    Make sure you’ve set up the account as described
    there.
    That is what I used to set up my gmail account in Apples Mail App before your post. Those instructions say that when you click on the Advanced Tab that the port will switch to 995 - which it did for me. I do have a minor problem though. Is there any way to prevent emails sent from Mail via gmail from showing up in gmails web page? I don't really like web mail whatsoever!
