To delete a mailbox account from the Mail and Calendar apps, follow these steps:
1. Open either the Mail or Calendar app on your device.
2. Look for the Settings option, usually located in the lower-left corner. If you are using a phone or tablet, you may need to tap on “More” at the bottom of the page to access the Settings option.
3. Once you are in the Settings menu, search for the “Manage Accounts” section. This is where you can view and make changes to your email accounts.
4. Within the Manage Accounts section, you will see a list of all the email accounts that are currently connected to the app. Choose the account that you want to remove by tapping on it.
Before proceeding, it’s important to note that deleting an email account will remove all associated emails, contacts, and calendar events from your device. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
5. After selecting the account you want to delete, you should see an option to remove or delete the account. Tap on this option to initiate the account removal process.
6. You may be prompted to confirm your action. Read the confirmation message carefully and, if you are sure you want to delete the account, confirm the removal.
7. The Mail or Calendar app will then proceed to remove the selected account from the app. This process may take a few moments, depending on the size of your account and the speed of your internet connection.
Once the account removal process is complete, the selected email account will no longer be accessible through the Mail or Calendar app. Any associated emails, contacts, and calendar events will be removed from the app.
It’s worth mentioning that deleting an email account from the Mail and Calendar apps does not delete the account itself. Your email account will still exist and can be accessed through other email clients or web interfaces.
Remember to double-check your actions and make sure you are deleting the correct account. If you have multiple email accounts connected to the app, it’s easy to accidentally remove the wrong one.
If you ever need to re-add the deleted account or connect a different email account to the Mail or Calendar app, you can follow the same steps mentioned above and choose the “Add Account” option instead.
