Removing mail account
My itunes sync page has an old mail account that I have not used in 5 years. I have deleted the account from my computer, but cannot get the sync page to update to the accurate mail account which is on my phone. Any ideas on how to get the correct account on both the phone and sync page?

Hi everyone, I recently gave my old macbook to my girlfriend and purchased a new macbook pro. The old macbook has my gmail account linked to it and I want to remove it from her computer so she can't read my emails. Can someone please help?
you can just delete the account from mail preferences->accounts. however, I strongly suggest you do a lot more than that. boot from the leopard install DVd and do an erase and install of leopard. this will give your girlfriend a clean system and wipe all your private data too.
Thank you!

I would like to remove mail accounts on my Mac. I press"-" and account is gone, however as soon as I start mail again it shows back. Is there a way to remove it so it wouldn't come back?
Thank you.From the Finder menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... and enter
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
in the text box that opens. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. In the Sharing & Permissions section of that window, do you have read & write access? Is the file locked? What is its modification date? -
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. -
Push profiles x2 removes mail account
Hi.
When our server pushes out new settings to the clients everything works fine the first time. Next time it pushes out the same/altered settings the log book shows errors and the mail settings is removed... Everything else works fine. This happens on all our Imac in the office. We just renewd the apple push certificates but I dont think that is the cause.. or?

Removed mail account still asking for password
Not sure this is the proper place to ask.
Recently I have removed one of my email account from mail but every time I open the mail program it is asking for the password from that deleted account.
I am using MBA mid 2011 with Lion OS (software up to date).
Thanks in advanced.

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.

I just have my mac air and used it for 1 week, but am gonna give it out to my sister changing with another one. I have set up my yahoo email accounts in my mac air, and how could i delete the email account on my mac without deleting all the contents form the server? Anyone help please, thanks
You can create an Admin account for your sister and then delete your account.
Backup any important data first before deleting your account. -
Syncing stuck on mail accounts
Suddenly - all worked great before - my syncing has stuck on mail accounts. I tried "replace information" for the mail accounts and I restored the software (installed 1.1.1) but the problem started in 1.0.2.
What now?
thanks,
DonI'm having a similar problem. It takes hours for my new iPhone to sync. But when I removed mail accounts from my sync profile, it only took minutes. My question is this: is it necessary to sync my mail accounts each time I sync my iPhone? I don't quite understand what syncing does for my mail accounts.

How do I remove an e-mail account from my Nokia e-...
On my Nokia 5230 I'm using the Nokia e-mail client: http://store.ovi.com/content/8794 . This works fine for me. Yesterday I encountered a little proplem which I cannot resolve so far. I want to remove an e-mail account from my account list and I cannot find a option to do that. Within the menu I can find an option where I can change the settings for the different e-mail accounts, but there is no menu option "remove account". If someone knows a solution please feel free to share it with me.

How do you remove an e-mail account?
I just updated to iOS 6.0. During setup, it asked if I wanted my me.com e-mail to come to my iPad. I said yes but have changed my mind. I can't figure out how to remove it. It does not show as an e-mail account. Any suggestions?

Hi, I really need to be sure about this before I do something stupid. I want to remove a POP account I no longer use from Apple Mail, but I would like to keep the messages from this account. Now, when I try to remove it in the Preferences, warnig pops up, telling me that this would delete the mailboxes and the messages of this account permanently (it's a POP, so no backup on the server). What I would like to know is this: does removing an account also delete the messages that are not in the mailbox anymore, i.e. the messages that were moved to various folders On My Mac, either manually or using Rules? I would really like to just get rid of the account, but I allways keep all my mail in folders rather than in the Inbox/Mailbox. Thanks for your help. G.
Hello:
I have not done what you wish to try, but, IMHO, mail you have moved to folders on your Mac should not be deleted if you delete the Mail account. To be sure, however, back up those folders (Time Machine would do this automatically).

How do I remove a duplicated e-mail account from m...
Hello.
I have just updated my N97 and expected to lose all my data in the process, so after the update when the phone asked for my e-mail account details, I entered them.
Now I have two folders for my GMail account.
How can I remove the duplicate, as I can find nothing in the options screens to delete, or remove
Thanks,Guess what ? I found a similar questio (and answer) on another thread, regarding an E65.
It was just about the same method for the N97 - so Sorted !
These phones are getting too darn complicated !

Removing a Mail Account with no access
Hey everyone,
I have a Gmail account that I was using for a while and I added it in the Windows 8 Mail app months ago, and it was fine. Since then, I have deleted/closed the email address with Google. Now, I can't remove it from the Win 8 Mail app.
It's marked as "Needs attention" on the bottom right-hand list of email accounts. Because of that marker,
I cannot edit settings on the account. Clicking on it opens the "Connecting to a service..." pop-up, asking me to log-in to the account (that I no longer have access to). If I go into the settings charm and try to edit accounts there,
it's again marked as "Needs attention", and clicking on it there opens up the Connection pop-up again. The behavior occurs on all 3 of my Windows 8.1 devices, including my Surface 2.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I just want to get rid of that account from the app. If I need to go into the registry/AppData, I'm more than comfortable doing so. I just don't know where to look.I am suffering from the same problem and I have been searching for an answer forever. Did you read the original question? "If I go into the settings charm and try to edit accounts there, it's again marked as "Needs attention", and clicking on
it there opens up the Connection pop-up again."
What this person is saying is that there is no ability or opportunity to 'Remove Account'. The 'Connecting To Service' message pops up and is asking that you to 'sign in'. You can't sign in to an account that doesn't exist and there begins the
endless loop.
I really find it hard to believe that there is no way to remove the account from the list after it has been deleted. I even went into Credential Manager and removed the account from there and rebooted to no avail.
Uninstalling the Mail App and reinstalling does not resolve the issue. Removing it from Credential Manager does not resolve the issue. No one has an answer? How can no one have an answer to this?
If any of you told me it is impossible to remove the account from the list - that would be an answer - at the very least I could put it to rest.
Thanks
