You can create an Admin account for your sister and then delete your account.
Backup any important data first before deleting your account.

  • How to remove mail account in mail in windows 8?

    I said is the windows store mail app. how to remove an account in it?
    On the other hand, I also don't know how to ADD a second acccount in Mail.

    Thanks for that!  I run a blazing fast laptop (ASUS ZenBook UX51) yet the Charm Bar takes forever to load and sometimes I need several attempts.  So I've blocked the entire UI by using Start 8 and never go to the Win8 UI except for Mail.  This
    issue with GMail hanging out there without connecting, coupled with the MS Live ID policy of never allowing you to ever reuse a password pretty much kept me away from Windows for over a month. I use Linux for all of my telephony and speech recognition consulting
    work.
    MS Live ID now has a pwd that I have on a Post It Note on my desk (like millions who are forced to use MS Live).  Some security policies do not make sense when weighed against the unintended consequences of extremely tight policies.  MSoft sadly
    has never listened to security experts who also are user interface experts with understanding of psychology. <<<Not me, but I work with a few of them and boy they flame MS about security issues with end users!
    I had a couple of minutes this morning, so I found this post.  I appreciate the time you spent posting the instructions.  I removed GMail and am considering removing the other accounts too since they are now covered by the very insecure MS Live
    ID (My password is on my desk.....)
    IMHO, MSoft should add in another UI control within the mail app to do this. Perhaps if only a visible link. Classically there have been at least three ways to accomplish an action in Windows.  By limiting it to just one that is optimized for the less
    than optimized UI touch, MSoft is making it difficult for end user.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    What application do you want to uninstall?
    On Mac, most of the applications are uninstalled just dragging them to the Trash. If an application comes with an uninstaller, use it instead to uninstall that application.
    Also, never use a cleaning app to uninstall an application. They can damage OS X, so the only option will be reinstall the operating system

  • How to transfer mail accounts from old Mac running Tiger to brand new Mac?

    I just ordered a new mac. Should be here on Monday (can't wait). I want to set it up with my existing mail (all my inboxes, and old messages, etc.). What would you suggest I do?
    I was thinking I could move over my mail folder (wherever that may be) to the new account on my new mac. Will that work? Do I need to create the account first, then copy it over? Of copy it and then bring up Mail for the first time? I have several email accounts (gmail, .mac, etc.). Is all that in one place on the old mac?
    I would appreciate some help. I want to be ready when it gets here.
    Thanks!

    I've read that you can copy the ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and then start up Mail. The only worry I have is that Mail on Snow Leopard will not understand the "Tiger" version of Mail files. Can anyone confirm if this will or will not work?
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Import a new mail account from mac to iPhone

    Hello folks,
    I have a macbook pro and an iPhone 4. The first time I connected my iPhone to the macbook it imported all the mail accounts, with all the settings and so on. Now, I create a new email account on my macbook and I cannot figure out how to import this new mail account on the iPhone. Could you help me please?
    Thanks

    Oh no So if I want this account on my iPhone I have to create it directly from iPhone
    Correct.
    You create the account in mail on your Mac & on your phone. Since it's an exchange account, they will both be kept in sync. When you select sync mail accounts in iTunes, it's only the account settings that are synced, no actual messages are synced at all. You normally only do this one to transfer the account settings to your phone.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • Removing Mail accounts from Server Admin Mail:Maintenance:Accounts list

    I have removed users from WGM and they are still showing up in Server Admin. I've seen posts that said to use SirAdmin or cyradm from the command line to remove them, but when I use those, the users aren't listed. Only in SA are these users still listed. Any ideas?
    I've moved this mail server from a 10.3 machine to a 10.4 machine so this may be legacy issues. It seems that any users I've deleted since being on 10.4 have been removed from the list. It's just users who I had deleted while it was on 10.3 that are still showing up.

    Yes I did. I added a user to the admin line of imapd.conf and logged in as that user. When I try logging in to SirAdmin as another user I get an error and it won't even open a connection.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 How to Remove ividi malware from Mac/Safari

    Hi, how do you remove ividi from a mac?  It's invaded Safari.  Be so grateful for any help, thanks

    ividi is either a Safari extension or add-on that may have been installed unwittingly. Most people don't do that unless they are deceived into doing so.
    Go to Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. Remove any that you do not recognize or want.
    Safari does not include any Extensions by default. If you see any Extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    It may also be a Safari add-on. To fix that read: Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues:
    Manually uninstall third-party add-ons
    If the software doesn't have an uninstall feature, quit Safari and try manually moving the third-party add-on files. These files are usually installed in one or more of the following locations:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    To quickly navigate to each of those potential locations, select each of the lines above, individually (triple-click to select the entire line), then control-click and from the contextual menu, select Services > Reveal in Finder. If the folder exists a Finder window will open with the folder selected. Open each folder and examine its contents. Drag anything resembling ividi to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash. If you are uncertain about a particular file, post its name in a reply.
