I am unable to delete an email account/profile in the settings for Mail/Contacts/etc.

I have 3 email accounts and on 2 of them there is the "Delete Account" red button at the bottom, but for one of them it is not an option. This particular account that I am trying to remove was installed using the iOS setup tool from GoDaddy.com, which is the host for my work email. These were the instructions I was asked to follow to setup the IMAP account on my iPad:
1. Go to the GoDaddy website (full site) in Safari
2. Type "Apple" in search bar top right.
3. Select "Automatically Setting up Email on Your Apple Mobile Device"
4. Select "Email InfoCenter"
5. Type in my email and password.
6. In email info center, select "Auto Setup fo iOS"
7. In the popup, there is a link in bold letters, select that and copy it, then paste it into your Safari address field at the top and go to that site.
8. Follow instructions and type in your password to validate.
This installs your IMAP account on your iPhone or iPad automatically. So when you go to Mail, it is there as an option.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to delete it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • Unable to delete my Email Account.

    Hi All-
    My office just transferred servers, and I have been trying to delete, or change my email account to update to my PRE.  Everytime I try to delete the account and add it as new (from POP to Exchange) I get the dreaded hanging circle for hours. 
    Moreover, when I tried to outsmart the system and alter my settings, it will not allow me to do so, and so I am stuck! Unable to transfer, as I get a "duplicate  account" message, and cannot complete my mission.
    I have reset, and shutdown countless times already. 
    Can anyone help me please?!?!!

    I tried this as well but unfortunately, the folder doesn't show up on my PC.

  • How do I delete an email account, but keep the email?

    I have an email account from ISP that I no longer use.  I want to delete the account, but I don't want to lose the email.  How do I delete the account and save all of the email?
    Can I create a folder and move all of the email from the account I want to delete to the folder?  From what I've read so far the email would still be deleted from that folder.
    This seems like it would be a common occurrence with a lot of people, so I'm surprised that there is not an solution from Apple.  Apple indicates that if an email account is deleted you will lose all of the mail.  There should be an option when you delete the account that asks "Do you what to keep all of the email from this account? Yes/No".  If yes then the system automatically saves email to an archive folder or something similar.
    Hopefully there is an easy workaround solution.

    Create a new "On My Mac" mailbox and move the messages to it. Then delete the account.

  • I have deleted my email account that was the same as my apple id. How do i delete the apple account off of my ipad so i can rest everything? my password that i had isnt working either.

    I have deleted my old email account that is connected with my apple id. I created a new apple id with a new email but my old email is still on my ipad that requires the password that i had with that account. It says incorrect password but I know it is right. I need help because I am trying to sell it and I need it to reset my ipad

    Settings > iTunes and App Store
    Tap on your Apple ID
    Sign Out
    Sing back in with the correct ID
    NOTE:  All apps purchased under the old ID will forever be tied to that ID, so you'll need to remember it if you want to update those apps.  Or, you can delete those apps and redownload them under the new ID.

  • How to delete an email account? I created 2 of the...

    So I accidentally ran "Start email setup" twice for my same yahoo account. There are now 2 of them on the Messaging main screen, one called "yahoo" and one called "yahoo001". They are exactly the same. I want to delete "yahoo001". For the life of me, I see no way to do this...is there a way? I only have one email account, so changing the settings on one of them would not help me, I need it deleted.
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to go into email settings to delete an account, as follows:
    Communic. --> Messaging --> Options --> Settings --> E-mail
    Then scroll down until the email account you want to delete is selected, and choose:
    Options --> Delete
    and then you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete it.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

    I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
    Does anyone know how to delete this email?
    Thanks -
    Dudley Warner

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
    Thanks -

  • I am unable to access my AOL (netscape) mail suddenly - I follow aol's suggestions and still cannot access my email account (although I am able to change password, etc)

    I am unable to access my aol (netscape.net) email account. I followed aol's suggestions and still cannot get my emails. I am able to change my password and account settings though

    If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well.  I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them.  I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
    If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/
    Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

  • I am unable to delete my emails from yahoo after I have read them.  I can check an email and press delete but the email remains and I am collecting a lot.  what should I do?

  • Unable to delete aol emails

    I am unable to delete any emails that come to my aol account.I get a "unable to move message, this message could not be moved to the mailbox trash." I am able to delete emails that come to my mac or gmail accounts. Any ideas why I am unable to delete aol messages?

    In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (Your account name) > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox - set for the "On My iPhone" Trash for a POP account, or "On the Server" for an IMAP account. If it is an IMAP account, be sure the correct server mailbox is selected
    or
    Settings - Mail - Tap on AOL account - Tap on Advanced - Tap on SPAM so you get a check mark - Then tap on Trash on the very top so you get a check mark. Now go check AOL mail and attempt to delete.

    What type of account did you set-up on the iPad, POP, IMAP, the items on your iPad could have downloaded off the server or you will need wait awhile for the message to update to the iPad. 

  • 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!
    ~ Angela

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

  • How can I delete an email account off of my MacBook?

    I have an email account that I no longer use, I would like to delete it off of my MacBook (the entire email account, not just the mailbox). I am so confused as to how to do this!
    Thanks so much for any help you can give!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Last time I did that, in mail preferences under accounts, highlight the account and push the minus symbol down below. That should delete both the account and any mail associated with that account.
