  1. I cant remove or display account settings on Microsoft Mail App


    I have tried to add my iCloud mail adress on my Microsoft Mail App. After adding my account error occured and "need attention for your account" message displayed. when i tried to open "Account Settings" and "Fix Account" or just click onto display warning icon, it could not be displayed. The page literally blinking and disappering in miliseconds. Thats why i cant remove existing wrong mail. I tried to remove and fix the mail app but i could not me help either. After downloading app back, that wrong mail still displaying and cannot deleting.

    :)

    Removing email account added to Mail app settings

    Hi Robert,

    Removing or deleting an email account from the Mail app is possible via the Settings in the Mail app. You can do this by following these steps:

    • Click the Gear icon in the lower left corner of the Mail app.
    • Choose Manage Accounts, then choose the account you want to remove.
    • Choose Delete Account.

    NOTE: The Delete account option removes the account from the Mail and Calendar apps, but does not affect the account itself. For example, if you remove an Outlook.com account from the Mail and Calendar apps, you can still access that account
    using another email client or on the web.

    Let us know if you have other concerns about the Mail app.

    Cannot open mail app settings


    OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

    1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
    2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

    get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

    After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

    Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.

    I cant remove or display account settings on Microsoft Mail App

    Need help with permanently removing accounts from Mail App

    This is a shared PC and I want to either remove the email accounts that are associated with the Mail App permanently or to deactivate the automatic sign in (if there is one).

    I've gone to Manage Accounts - Delete Account from this device. It tells me that the account has been successfully deleted from this device.

    YET it will reactivate the account (without me entering a PW) if I choose to Add Account, it lists suggested accounts that can be added, which in this case, it lists our Outlook accounts. If I choose an account to be "added" it adds my Outlook account to the Mail App, and SOMEHOW it knows what the PWs are and automatically signs in and opens the accounts. I can see everyone's emails just by re-adding their accounts!

    How do I solve this issue please! I have thought of uninstalling the Mail App, but if someone who shares the PC decides to install it, they will see everyone's email.
