Windows 10: Deleting an email account?

Hi allI am struggling to delete a former work email account from Outlook. I've followed the steps from another thread about disconnecting the account under Settings > Accounts >Access work or school > Disconnect.But still, whenever I open Outlook it wants me to sign in with the former email account.I've tried to remove the account in Outlook, but it tells me that the primary account cannot be removed. However, it's not the primary account. The checkmark is in front of another account my primary one.So I'm a bit stuck here. Any good advice? And yes, I've tried to restart both Outlook

:)

 

email account hacked. please help

Don't think you can if they were deleted from your email account and are not in your trash folder. Try contacting Yahoo, explain what happened, and see what they can do or suggest you do.

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

request to sync deleted email account

Hi,

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

Please confirm the following things for me.

1. Are you receiving these emails from Microsoft?
   
2. Is your Windows 10 associated with this email account?
   

I would suggest you to login to
http://login.live.com/ with the email account that is deleted to check if you are able to login and if the account is still active under Microsoft.

If you are able to login with your account and you wish to close the Microsoft account, you can follow the steps in this article on ‘How
to close your Microsoft account’ and see if it helps.

We await your response.
