  3. Can't delete or update an email account in windows 10

    Hi Fishin,

    I regret the inconvenience which you have faced regarding the Windows Group policy.

    Before I suggest you, I would like to know the information below.


        • Which is the mail account you are trying to update or Delete?

    • How are you accessing emails, through web browser or mail client (/mail app)?

    • When you say ''Can't delete or update an email account '' how exactly are you trying to update or delete it? Please specify.

    • Are you log-in using Microsoft account? If yes, is this the only email account configured on outlook mail app?

    Method 1: App troubleshooter.

    I suggest you to run app troubleshooter through below link for issues related to Email app issue and check if it helps.

    Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store - Microsoft Support



    Method 2: To delete an account using a Mail app account on Windows 10.

    1. Open the Mail app.

    2. Click/tap on the Settings button at the bottom of the left pane, and click/tap
    on Manage Accounts in the Settings flyout.

    3. Click/tap on the account you want to remove.

    Note: If you sign in to Windows 10 with a Microsoft account, then you will not be able to delete that account in Mail.

    4. Click/tap on Delete account.

    5. Click/tap on Delete to confirm.

    6. The account will now be removed from the accounts list in the left pane of Mail.

    If you are trying to delete a Microsoft account (Outlook.com, Hotmail, MSN, and Live), I suggest you to go through the below link which would help you.

    Delete an email account from Mail and Calendar apps - Microsoft Support

    Reference: Mail and Calendar for Windows 10 FAQ - Microsoft Support

    Hope this helps you, revert back to us with the update regarding the issue.

    Thank you.

  4. Windows update destroyed data, email accounts, deleted apps etc

    cant delete emails from an account in Mail app

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.

    • On which email account are you unable to delete unwanted emails?
    • How are you trying to delete unwanted emails?
    • Do you receive any error code or error message while deleting emails? If yes, what is it?
    • Have you tried to press Shift + Delete on your keyboard or right click on the email and select the delete option from the menu?
    • What happens when you do it?

    If the issues seems to be with the Mail App, as part of troubleshooting I suggest you to run the Windows app troubleshooter and check.

    Try these steps to run the troubleshooter:

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
    • Click view all in the left panel.
    • Select ‘Windows app ' and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Please get back to us with the results. We are happy to help!
