Outlook: Deleting an E-mail Account (3 of 3)

by Yosef B., posted in E-mail, Microsoft, Outlook, Software, Technology

Note: These instructions are for Outlook 2010. The process is similar in other versions of Outlook, the menus are just different.

As a consultant, I move from client to client on a regular basis. When I leave a client, I want to save my e-mails and archive them in case I ever have to look back at them.

This is part three of a three-part series where I walk you through:

  1. Exporting an entire e-mail account
  2. Opening a .PST (archive) file
  3. Deleting an old e-mail account

Part 3: How to delete an entire e-mail account in Outlook.

CAUTION! Once you delete an account, there is no way to recover it! Please ensure that you have backed up all your information before doing this!

  1. In Outlook, click on the “File” tab.
  2. Click the “Account Settings” button and select the “Account Settings…” option in the drop down menu.
  3. Highlight the e-mail account you wish to permanently delete and click the “Remove” button.
  4. Follow the prompts to confirm that you want to remove it.
