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.

    You can simply stop using it.
    Your question is very vague

    Buy something for more than the balance and charge the remainder to a credit card, or write Apple and ask them to keep the balance.

  • How to remove mails (and attachments) permanently?

    Hi!
    I just realized my Archive.mbox (~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes) is quite big (8.5GB) and I decided to remove old mails with large attachments.
    As I use GMail account via POP3, first I removed mails from the Google account and I freed up about 1.5GB extra space. Later, I searched for mails with attachments in Mail.app, then sorted then and started to remove and emptied the trash. This operation was quite weird as some of them where moved to the Trash folder, some not.
    As I was controlling the space of the Mailboxes folder this is what I noticed:
    - Archive.mbox - the size of the mbox didn't change (anyone know why?)
    - Deleted Messages.mbox increases while removing another mails then decreased while wiping it out (this is what I expected)
    In summary, I removed a lot of mails and didn't free up ANY space! Does anyone know how to do it properly?
    Also, while googling I found out about "Mail Downloads" folder which is moved from Library to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. As I set "Remove unedited downloads" to "When Mail Quits" can I simply remove all subdirs from this dictionary to save some space? This folder is only used for copy of attachments, right?
    Thanks for anwers,
    Bart

    Each IMAP account it's own Archive folder. POP accounts all share the same Archive folder.
    I removed a POP account in Mail but the archive messages did not delete. You would need to move them out of the Archive folder then trash to remove if you have archived other POP account messages. However, if it's only the one account, you can manually delete this folder in the User's Library then rebuild the Mail index.
    Quit Mail
    Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.
    Scroll to Mail folder.
    Mailboxes folder stores the "On My Mac" messages. IMAP accounts store it's Archive folder in the account's folder.
    In Mailboxes you'll find the Archive folder. Delete.
    In the MailData folder, delete the 3 files with envelope in the name.
    Open Mail and it will reindex your messages.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • How to remove an account - cannot download apps

    Hello all,
    I have recently been bought an ipad. When the iPad was first used, my daughter-in-law used her own account to add some files. Since then I have removed her account details in 'settings'/'general' and added my own, along with setting up an Apple account and new itunes account. However, when I try to install APP updates, it asks for my daughter-in-law's password for her account. I have signed out and in with my own via itunes, yet still it asks for her password (only for the App downloads). How do I go about removing her information or logging out so I can access the updates for my account on my iPad?
    Any help gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks
    Simon

    You should be able to log out of her account by going into Settings > Store and tapping on the account on the right-hand side and then log-in with yours. Any apps that your daughter-in-law bought/downloaded on the iPad are tied to her account, and can only be updated by her account (so you may want to delete them) - apps are tied to the account that downloaded them, not to the device that they are on, and they can't be transferred to another account.

  • 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?

    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.

  • OBXL Issue-How to remove GL Account allocated in OBXL?

    Hi,
    Using Transaction OBXL-I have added GL Account Number xxxxxxxxx in the coloumn showing Account.I want to remove the same.This is because additional commissions are getting posted in this GL Account when I am doing clearing using F-04.
    Need to remove the GL Account in OBXL.How to do the same?
    Thanks
    Vivek

    Select the GL by clicking the GL  and you can delete it by using the delete icon or edit > delete.
    Not sure what the whole requirement is but if you are not using a reason code for clearing differences and if the difference is within the tolerance limits the difference will be written off automatically to the non reason code specific GL. Once deleted you will have to use a reason code for the clearing difference otherwise system will give you an error.

  • How to remove the account name from header when printing emails

    In outlook 2007 using Exchange Server 2007 users wishing to print an email using memo style have a header consisting of the account user's full name and a bold line under it, then the friendly email headers and body. Is there a way to remove/configure
    the memo style header?
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Unfortunately, there is no way in Outlook to change or remove the name or message header which is being displayed at the top of a printed message. It is tied to the Display Name of your email account which you can’t modify yourself for an Exchange account.

  • How to remove "add account" in Reader DC

    I am testing new package deployments of Adobe Reader DC prior to releasing it.
    I have used the customization tool for Adobe Reader DC to create a MST file so its a tailored install. The only thing it seems is, I can not alter or remove is the "add account" for Microsoft Share-Point.
    At this time our organization does not have Share-Point and possibly not anytime soon.
    How can I remove/disable that option? I would rather not spend the administrative overhead on training end user to ignore that it exists.
    Jon

    Hi Jon,
    You can set the registry as mentioned at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/Workflows.html#Services( SharePoint-Office365) to disable 'Add account' in Reader DC.

  • How to remove other account purchases from itunes?

      My stuff is on my mom's computer / itunes, and I don't know how to transfer / remove it. For example, she has a whole Beauty and the Beast album that I downloaded, but she did not, and somehow it's on her computer, not mine. Also, when updating apps, it asks for my password for some of them. I don't know how our accounts got merged, but I'd really like to make itunes more user-friendly for her so she actually knows how to use it without it yelling at her all the time. Thanks!!!

    1. Move the song files to your computer and then delete them from hers; if needed, right-click them in iTunes and show them in the Windows Explorer.
    2. Sign in with her Apple ID, and delete and redownload the applications which are asking for your password.

  • How to remove MSN accounts

    I have msn messenger running on my old imac which I am selling. Every time I launch messenger, my two previous msn accounts are visible, how do I remove them? I have tried uninstalling but it seems to find the accounts.

    Since Messenger is not an Apple product, you should probably post your question on Microsoft's own Mac discussions, rather than an Apple forum:
    http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/
    Why don't just do the smart thing and erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS prior to selling the computer? Then there's not trace of your files, settings and information anywhere, and the buyer gets a clean system that will run efficiently.
