Hi, if 10.5.x, in System Preferences>MobileMe, remove name & password if there, then in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, highlight that account & click the tiny minus icon below.

  • How to delete an email account from mail

    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!

  • Have deleted a Yahoo account from Mail but it keep asking for password

    My Mail on the iMac has several email accounts for my wife and I, we have recently deleted my wifes Yahoo account because of spam mail, as well as deleting it through Yahoo, the email account in Mail was removed. Ever since we have been receiving prompts for the password to the deleted account. I have checked through preferences and there is definitely no reference to the account. Is there something else I need to delete?

    thanks mende1 - I have lion and have checked as you have mentioned above - the email account is not listed there - it's still asking for the password though

  • Having trouble with my iCloud email in Mail program on iMac

    I converted to iCloud a few months ago and everything has been working well.  Today, my Mail program can neither download nor send emails for my iCloud account on my iMac (about 4 years old).  It just seems to churn.  I CAN however, access my iCoud email on my iPhone.  Any ideas what might be wrong?  Thanks.  George T.

    Thanks WC.  I DID delete/re-enter my iCloud email account, and it all came back and is working fine . . . at least for the moment.  The planets are back in alignment.  Thanks.  George T.
    PS - my wife and I have become devotees of BBC masterpiece theater, notably Downton Abbey and Lark Rise to Candleford.  You Brits make good TV.  Take care.

  • Having trouble deleting an email account from my iPhone.

    I want to delete a mail account and then add it back on to the phone (hoping to free up space).  I've tried going into "Settings" then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" then into the account I wish to delete and selecting "Delete Account" but the account is still there.  How can I actually delete the entire thing?

    The only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or to create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one.

  • Can't delete old iCloud account from new phone

    Have trouble deleting old iCloud account from my new phone keep getting a message saying can not delete cause in use

    iCloud accounts can be deleted in Mail, Contacts and Calenders in System Preferences from the Apple sign menu on your Host or Main mac.
    I had heaps of trouble with this - i fixed it by going back to my host imac and clicked on apple sign - system preferences - then under the Internet and Wireless heading clicked on Mail, Contacts & Calenders.  from there you can select iCloud amongst your other stuff in the left window - delete the old one by hitting the (minus) - sign down the bottom after selecting iCloud.  Keep your calenders and contacts on your mac when asked.
    Once you've deleted the old one and its gone from the window reselect iCloud from the right window of options.  Use your new apple ID (current e-mail) to set this one up.
    Once you sync all your devices it should all be good.
    Took me ages to work this out but minutes to fix once I had.
    hope this helps

  • Offline MobileMe account on Mail application

    Hi
    I have been a MobileMe customer and mac user for several years. I use my Mail app for multiple email accounts. Yesterday my MobileMe account within Mail app went offline, and seems adamant that it will not return online.
    I have tried deleting the MobileMe account in Mail app, restarting and re-creating ... but did not work ... error message appeared at first screen (with name, email, password).
    I have a substantial number of folders/emails on the MobileMe server, and have lost access to these too.
    My MobileMe account continues to be successfully accessed through me.com and also via my wife's laptop and my ipod touch. Therefore problem seems local to mail app on my imac rather than mobileme account or isp.
    Any guidance most welcomed.
    Ross
    Error message
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “mail.me.com” refused to allow a connection on port 993."

    I don't think you can access Netscape via an email client, only through their web-based pages. Possible someone knows a plugin to bypass this, similar to the way Hotmail is accessed from Mail.

  • I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    I deleted a pop email account from mail.  How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

    Thomas,
    "Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it.  When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
    You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account.  I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN!  It just deletes it - which *** for me.  Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.)  I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem.  Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those.  Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
    This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often.  ;-)
    Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL!  ;-)

  • 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.

  • Mac Mail Issue: I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes, now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I c

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
    it's = it is
    Mac Mail's fault = possessive
    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

  • I can't delete my comast pop account from mail

    I've deleted the account from mail and don't see it anywhere, but i repeatedly get asked by mail to enter my username and password.  I've looked in preferences in both mail and system preferences but don't see the account.  The account no longer exists with comcast because we switched to another service.  Any suggestions?

  • I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

    I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that.  Any help please?

    You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate). 

  • How do i keep my contacts if i delete my icloud account from my phone?

    i am trying to delete my icloud account from my phone but how do i keep my contacts? my broher is on the same icloud account how do i get his contacts off of my phone

    First, turn off using iCloud for your contacts. Go to:
    Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your iCloud account)
    Switch "Contacts" to OFF.
    You should get a dialog box asking you if you want to keep the contacts on the phone or not -- choose the option to keep them.
    Now you can delete the iCloud account but retain the contact information.
