Delete Email Account iPhone

You can set up multiple email accounts in the Mail app on iOS and Mac. This is super handy for managing all of your accounts in one spot. But there may come a time when you want to get rid of one of those email accounts. Maybe you no longer use it or simply don’t want it in the Mail app any longer.

For these situations, here’s how to delete an email account on iPhone, iPad, and Mac in Mail .

Delete an email account on iPhone and iPad

To delete an email account on iOS, you’ll need to open your Settings app, head to Mail, and then do the following.

1) Select Mail > Accounts.

2) Choose the email account you want to delete.

3) At the bottom, tap Delete Account.

4) Confirm that you want to remove the account by tapping Delete from My iPhone.

Delete an email account on Mac

On your Mac, you’ll open your System Preferences to delete an email account.

1) Click the Apple icon > System Preferences > Internet Accounts from the menu bar.

2) Select the email account and click the minus sign.

3) Confirm that you want to remove the email account by clicking OK.

Delete Email Account on Mac

You can also open the Mail app and select Mail > Preferences from the menu bar.

1) Choose the email account you want to delete.

2) Select the email account and click the minus sign.

3) If you are using iCloud Keychain for the account, you’ll see a pop-up message. This will direct you to the Internet Accounts section and the steps above by clicking that button.

While this second method is fine, if you must go to Internet Accounts anyway, you might as well just start there.

Wrapping it up

Getting rid of unused or unwanted email accounts from the Mail app gives you less to manage in your inbox. Do you manage multiple email accounts in the Mail app and if so, is there one that you need to delete?
