Cannot delete accounts in Mail.app

Title states the problem. I cannot delete accounts in Mail.app whether in the Mail preferences or Internet Accounts tab of the System Preferences. I have dead e-mail addresses and when I click the minus, in Internet Accounts, the account flashes off and comes right back, complete with a fancy little animation. When I do it in Mail, it tells me "The operation couldn't be completed." and I should try going to Internet Accounts.
How do I purge these accounts from the system? I've already deleted the mailboxes in ~/Library/Mail/V2.
Thanks.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

When I go to Setting icloud, the tap Delete it asks for a password and the email on screen is incorrect.So I cannot delete Account.

Don't know anything about McAffe Enterprise Server, but if your employer is preventing you from using iCloud backup there's really no way to use it without removing this from your phone. Unless you can convince the IT guys to make an exception.

Cannot delete hotmail e-mail account

My hotmail account set up the e-mail app on the device stopped sending e-mail. It constantly reported unable to connect, send or receive. I downloaded the GOOGLE Play hotmail account which worked fine. I want to delete the hotmail account from the e-mail system but when I click on delete it reports "DELETING ACCOUNT" but remains at that screen forever. I left it doing this all night and still it did not finish.
Please advise.

Hi SgtSaunderrs69-
I'm glad the Hotmail application provided you with email access. Often, email providers will offer applications that enhance an email experience. If the email account is not deleting from the Accounts section, I recommend trying to remove while the phone is in safe mode. Steps: http://bit.ly/O9HGxf. Keep me posted!

TS3276 cannot delete abandoned email in Mail

Do you use POP or IMAP?

Delete account in Mail AND its emails

I recently deleted an IMAP mail account in Mail. I had chosen the option to download emails to my computer so that I could view them offline. However, when I deleted the account in mail, all of my emails from that account are still on my computer. I know this because Spotlight still pulls up emails from that account, and in my Library folder, there are still .mbox directories for that account, with all the old emails.
Is this the default behavior of Mail? I would really like to wipe out all of those old emails because it is annoying to see them in Spotlight.

Where does Spotlight say these messages are? Do a search in the Spotlight menu that shows one of those messages and then choose Show All in Finder. Select the message in question in the window that opens. The path will be shown at the bottom of the window. What does it say?

TS3276 cannot receive or send mail, server off line "ssl off" how do I turn ssl on?

Cannot receive or send mail. Server off line "ssl off " . how do I turn on ssl?

Hello there, gillaf.
To turn adjust your SSL settings the following Knowledge Base article will be of assistance:
Mac OS X Mail: About Secure Email Communications (SSL)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25586
Setting up Mail for SSL
Important: These steps require Mac OS X 10.1.3 or later.
1. Open the Mail application.
2. Choose Preferences from the Mail application menu.
3. Click Accounts.
4. Select an account name, and click Edit.
5. Click the Account Options tab.
6. Click the Use SSL checkbox to enable this option.
Selecting the checkbox will auto-populate the default port numbers. If there is a non-default port number already present, it will not change. You can manually enter a number if your ISP gave you a different port number. Be sure you enter the correct port for your mail server here when selecting SSL, even if it auto-populates a default number.
Note: If SSL is accidentally set up when it should not be, or is configured using the incorrect port for your mail server, an alert box with a message similar to this may appear:
"Fetch Error: Couldn't connect to a POP host name mail.apple.com."
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

TS3276 Problem deleting messages in Mail

Using a hotmail account on iMac in Mail. I get this error message:
The message "name of message" could not be moved to the mailbox "Trash--Hotmail". "3541.emix" couldn't be copied to messages because an item with the same name exists.
Very much appreciate your knowledge in clearing this up. Thank you!

Hi rkheinrich,
If you are having issues deleting messages from Mail in Mavericks, you may want to try Rebuilding and Reindexing your mailboxes, as outlined in the following articles:

Cannot delete emails in Mail

Hey everyone, since I upgraded to Mavericks I just cannot delete the emails I need. Some advices say to delete the account and create the same again, but it does not work in my case. Could you help me please? Thank you very much

This does not answer/solve the OP's question/problem as they would still have to select each email individually before selecting the "delete all" button. In the end this the same as selecting "delete" on each message individiually.
There is no practical way to do what the OP wants.

Deleted Account's mail shows as unread in dock icon

*Short version...* I deleted an account and now my dock icon reads 403 unread messages. Problem is I can't find them to get rid of them.
*Long version...* Got my old computer from last job before they closed the doors permanently. I simply disabled the work email account since then and all the old emails (that were not put into "On My Mac" folders for reference") eventually got deleted since I had the preferences set to delete after a month.
Now I decide to delete the account entirely. I do so, and now the dock icon reads 403 unread messages. I play with the "Dock unread count" preference in Mail. The # disappears when it is set to "None" or "Inbox Only". So, the offending mail must be in some hidden mailbox.
So, in playing around, I recreated the deleted account using as much of the old data I can remember. The original server for the mail is long gone, so no new mail is being checked. It didn't show up the old messages, but when I disable the recreated account, the 403 unread message counter goes away (like it has been the last few months). When I enable it, the # reappears. So, it looks like I partially got control of the old account, but the messages are still hidden somewhere.
Using Mail 3.6 on OS 10.5.7. Any advice?? How can I reset the counter or find the mail?

thanks Golden, that's what I found I needed to do. None of the sidebar indicators (that there were unread messages in that particular folder) were working. But if you opened a subfolder and looked thru, you could find some unread. The funny thing was that these messages appeared only when I enabled or deleted that old account, and they were all over the place (Sent, Deleted, junk, and On-My-Mac folders) and in all of my other accounts (I have 5 others). But all fixed now. thanks.

TS3276 Inadvertently deleted Outgoing SMTP Mail Server. Entered correct Yahoo email SMTP info and now SMTP is "Offline". Can't SEND emails. Help!

Inadvertently deleted SMTP Outgoing Mail Server address. Re-entered correct mail service provider's address and now have '(Offline)' tagged on server name. Can't SEND any emails. When I try, message will not send but goes into Outbox and sits. How can I get this SMTP address 'Online'? Help!

For whatever reason Yahoo blocked access to their mail servers from Apple Mail in the past couple of days. I deleted my Yahoo account in Apple Mail and tried to add it back. NO JOY.
Today, Yahoo has reopened their servers so that I could add my Yahoo account to Apple Mail again successfully. Even w the second app password.
The problem was at Yahoo. Apple Mail people were either blocked or knocked off from their Yahoo servers for a time. This may happen again as it has in the past. I hope it doesn't become a frequent happening.

HT204053 I've just changed my apple id but can't change it any iOS devices, I cannot go back to the original email, apple doesn't allow this, cannot delete account!!

I want to be able to change my icloud account username to my phone and ipad without deleting data, this is obviously a problem that Apple has built into it's "security" and starts to make things unworkable??

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Cannot Delete A Junk Mail "Title" From Email Window?

I have just received one of the usual banking scam type emails.
ClamXav signaled it as a virus so I let Clam send it to the trash where I deleted it.
However, the actual "title" is still in my email window and refuses to be deleted.
Something like this happened a year ago but I cannot remember what I did to get rid of it .... if anything.

I gave up trying to delete it or send it to the trash and selected Edit>Cut.
It disappeared immediately.
I am still puzzled as to why it did not delete like a normal email. Probably connected with the fact that I had ClamXav send the contents (emix) to the trash.

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.

Cannot delete files from Mail Junk folder

I have an issue with Mail. I have two messages without content that cannot be deleted from the Junk folder. I can change the classification (junk to not junk); try to move them to another folder, but nothing works. This problem is unique to my MacBook Air -- I have the same programs and files on my office MacBook Pro and there is no issue -- I was able to delete the same files without an issue.

I am running mac 10.6.7
I have tried updating the software, operating system,
Then you should have Mac OS X 10.6.8
