Tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines), and then select Settings. Select the email address that you\u2019d like to remove from your main inbox. Under Account, select Remove account &gt; Remove account. Follow any additional instructions for removing the account. The entire process should take no more than 10 minutes<\/p>\n<h2>How do I add another email account to my iPhone?<\/h2>\n<p>To add alternate email accounts, check out our guide here. You can also search around Apple Support Communities for various threads related to this topic if you have difficulties adding multiple accounts to your device. Here are some pointers below which might help:<\/p>\n<h2>You can also delete an email address from your iPhone device by following these steps:<\/h2>\n<p>Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap the Mail item. Find the account you want to delete and tap it. Tap Remove Account followed by Delete Account. Enter your credentials for that account, then confirm that you really do want to remove this account from your iPhone. When prompted, enter another password (not a recovery key) to confirm the deletion process once again. This will cause Apple\u2019s servers to notify Google that you\u2019ve deleted this Gmail address in iOS; if you return to Add Account screen later, it will show as removed without any other action needed from you.<\/p>\n<h2>If I delete my default Apple ID Gmail account, what happens to my existing emails?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are deleting your Gmail account that is linked to your Apple ID, all of the messages in that account will remain intact in their current location. Your other email accounts aren\u2019t affected if you delete Google\u2019s default account. To ensure this doesn\u2019t happen by accident, it might be helpful to add a passcode lock feature to the device (Settings &gt; Passcode or Touch ID &amp; Passcode) as well as set restrictions on deleting data from the device using Restrictions (Settings &gt; General Settings). This way, no one can pick up your iPhone and accidentally cause trouble with an unintended deletion.<\/p>\n<p>My iPhone has multiple email accounts added but I only want to receive emails from one particular address which doesn\u2019t show up in the inbox. How can I fix this?<\/p>\n<p>The Mail icon on iPhone displays multiple email accounts but only shows one mail account at a time depending on your recent usage. To change which account you want to view, do as follows:<\/p>\n<p>On your device, tap the Home button twice to bring up the List of Apps screen Select the Mail App from the list of apps and then swipe down the screen until you see Show All Inboxes option. Tap it and check all (or uncheck all) accounts that show up in order for you to receive emails from different email addresses on your iPhone. You should be able to add more than one account if you are okay with receiving notifications from different <a class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"2445404056415757644d47484b5140\" href=\"\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a> or @me.com addresses on your iPhone. If you have other email accounts that also display emails from iCloud or @me.com addresses, they can be accessed from the Mail app by swiping left to right between the name and account fields of the addressee field.<\/p>\n<p>I want to change my current default Google Account email address for my device but I don\u2019t know its password. How do I set a different one?<\/p>\n<p>If you cannot access your Gmail account because you forgot your password, there is still hope in setting up another email account as the new default one:<\/p>\n<p>Tap Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Accounts. Select Add Account (if not already selected). Choose Google, then enter your full Gmail address and password when requested on the next screen. Tap Add Account.<\/p>\n<h2>how to remove email account from gmail app<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lb4sfR6SzHs?feature=oembed\" title=\"how to remove email account from gmail app? | Remove gmail account from android phone?\" width=\"1200\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>I don\u2019t have any existing Gmail accounts, how can I add one to my device?<\/h2>\n<p>If you do not have any existing Gmail addresses that you want to use on your iPhone, there is no need to create a new account as the process below will add a brand new Google account that does not relate to an existing email address:<\/p>\n<p>Tap Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Accounts and choose Add Account (if not already selected).

Tap Manage Website Data, then select the Remove All Website Data button and confirm it by tapping Remove Now once more. Open a new tab in Safari Browser. This will reset all of your settings so all cookies should be cleared. We recommend that you perform this step from your home Wi-Fi network instead of doing it over a cellular data connection as clearing out saved passwords is a lot faster when done over a regular Wi-Fi connection. Once you have successfully cleared out the saved passwords and cookies from your device, log in to the Gmail website in Safari (Settings &gt; Mail, Contacts, Calendars &gt; Add Account). Enter in your full Gmail address and password when prompted on the next screen. Tap Sign In.<\/p>\n<h2>How can I change my default email account in Calendar?<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your default Gmail account for events in the Calendar app, do as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Tap Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Accounts or add an account if it is not already selected. Select Add Account (if not already selected) and choose Google. When prompted, enter your full Gmail address followed by 2nd prompt to enter your password that belongs to your given Gmail address. Tap Sign In.<\/p>\n<p>I want to change my default calendar account without switching to a different email provider. How can I do this?<\/p>\n<p>If you do not want to switch from your current email provider such as GMail but still want to keep the Calendar app synchronized with your Google Account, you can simply add another account (not necessarily an email one) that will act as the default:<\/p>\n<p>Tap Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Calendars and then Add Account. Choose Google, then enter in your full Google Calendar address when prompted on next screen. Tap Next twice if necessary (first time for username, second for password). Enter a name for this account and confirm it by tapping Next come after 3rd prompt. Enter your password for this account when prompted and confirm it by tapping Next again. Tap Save once more when prompted at the end of the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Now you have set a different Google Account to be used as default in the Calendar app, try adding an event by following these steps:<\/p>\n<p>Tap Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Calendars. Choose Default Account under Calendars heading (if not already selected). Choose a new calendar account from the list by selecting Default Account. Scroll down and enter Name for Event and choose time for Event which should be synchronized with a default calendar (for example, primary GMail account) on your device. Tap Done, then add additional details whenever you wish to do so. Press the Home button to save changes or Cancel otherwise.<\/p>\n<h2>See also: How to Sync Google Calendar With Outlook? \u2013 Microsoft Support.<\/h2>\n<p>Can I delete the data synced with my Account? (i.e only keep emails, remove calendar events, make the account selective)<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you can do so by following these steps: Go to Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Saved Passwords or Autofill Inbox Data and choose an option you want from under Accounts heading: Delete AutoFill Data: This will delete all of your stored autofill information for email addresses entered in a device such as addresses that have been used in any app on your device previously. Note that deleted data may still be recoverable due to backups in iCloud\/iTunes\/other sources and this option does not delete data from original source. Delete All Data: This will delete all of your autofill and saved password information stored in a device such as addresses that have been used in any app on your device previously and it also deletes information from original sources. Note that deleted data may still be recoverable due to backups in iCloud\/iTunes\/other sources and this option is irreversible.<\/p>\n<p>See also: How Can I Recover Deleted (LOST) SMS Messages From My Android Device? \u2013 Mobile Phone Help.<\/p>\n<p>How do I prevent myself from getting Autofill Inbox Data?<\/p>\n<p>Under Settings &gt; General, you can disable the Autofill feature or prevent it from storing specific types of information by going to Settings &gt; Mail, then tap Saved Passwords or Autofill Inbox Data and disable any option you do not want in the Accounts section:<\/p>\n<p>Prevent AutoFill for all accounts: This turns off autofill for both email addresses entered in an app and passwords. Note that this will also disable auto-complete when entering new account information on a device. Prevent Password from being stored: This stops password entry shortcuts (a shortcut is created by automatically filling out fields that are common to most websites) from working without retyping the password every time it\u2019s used. Prevent Contact Details from being stored: This prevents address book contacts saved on a device (or the iCloud keychain if enabled) from being automatically filled into emails, notes, reminders, etc.<\/p>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1627050825013\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I delete an email account from Gmail app?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">1.
