I want to completely delete a email account from my iMac.

It seems that the details are still there in the background and when I reset the account it defaults to some of the previous settings

Hi Robbie,
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
In Mail>Preferences>Accounts, if you really want to delete it, highlight that one then click the tiny minus icon below.

  • How do I delete my email account from my phone?

    I don't want to receive my email to my phone.  I just want to be able to use the browser when I need it.  I don't want to keep getting emails every time I get junk mail.  Does anyone know how to delete that from my phone so I wont get anymore messages saying I have email?

    Delete it the same way you added it.  There should be an icon on your home screen for "Setup Internet Email" or "Manage Internet Email" and you can use that to delete your email account from the BIS system.

  • 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.

  • Want to delete one email account from curve 8520

    hi all and thanks for reading this.
    i recently added 2 email accounts to my blkberry curve 8520 version 4
    but then i realized what a nightmare it was to have too many emails coming in at same time.  Long story short, i went back to how i first set up both emails in the first place by going to setup wizard, email setup, "i want to create or add an email address." , next, next, logging on to web2go, then finally the stupid messege shows up  ERROR- " this site cannot be accessed in this manner. Please use the url or link provided by your service provider.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your description, perhaps TMO has changed the method you need to do this? Have you contacted them, as per the information provided to you? After all, it's a TMO system you are attempting to interact with, is it not?
    Good luck!

    I just purchased a macbook and was setting it up for the first time. I clicked on the mail icon (postage stamp) and added an email but have decided I do not want to use the mail option right now. How do i delete the email account and set the mail program back to its original settings.

    Open up Mail, hit Command, and the Comma, and then go to accounts, select your account you want to delete and hit the minus symbol!

  • I want to completely delete an icloud account

    How do I delete an icloud account?

    You can delete it from your devices, but not from iCloud.  You can only choose to stop using it.  If you want to delete all the data in the account, see my post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21224118#21224118.

  • How do I delete an email account from iPhone 5?

    I have a gmail account on my iPhone 5 that stopped working two days ago (stopped sending or receiving email).  This account had worked since I got the phone in November. I want to delete this account from my phone and try reloading it but it will not delete. I hit delete account and it reappears after I close the settings.
    Does anyone have a fix for this?

    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore ( first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • How do I delete an email account from my phone and add a new one?

    I have 3 Email Accounts set-up on my phone and would like to delete one and set-up a new one. The problem is that all 3 accounts are muted so I can't select one to delete. The "Add Account" button is also muted so I can't select that button either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

    Thank you so very much! That was just what I needed to do, problem solved.
