My mail is through York University and the email address for it is <a class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"89f0e6fbe2fce7e0fbece5c9f0e6fbe2fca7eae8a7\" href=\"\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a> I\u2019ve tried deleting it from this site: https:\/\/webapps-mail.yorku.ca\/, but then another account self creates with the same name and all of the emails are sent to that one too. So obviously I also have to remove an account from <a href=\"how-do-i-delete-old-email-addresses-in-thunderbird\/\">Thunderbird<\/a> (and YMSG).<\/p>\n<p>My biggest issue was trying to get a clear list of steps that would work for me. I did manage eventually \u2013 Here\u2019s what worked: (kinda long)<\/p>\n<p>1) <a href=\"how-do-i-delete-a-mail-account-from-mac\/\">deleted the <span class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"7e07110c150b10170c1b123e07110c150b501d1f\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/span> account<\/a> from the York University webmail site<\/p>\n<p>2) went to <a href=\"where-is-account-settings-on-etsy\/\">\u2018Account Settings\u2019<\/a> in TB, and chose to delete the email address<\/p>\n<p>3) Confirmed by entering my password into a new window that popped up<\/p>\n<p>4) After the box asking if I was sure about deleting it closed, I repeated step 1 (webmail site), but this time select \u201cDelete Account\u201d at bottom of the page instead of choosing an email address to delete from there. Note: You can\u2019t do it from Thunderbird \u2013 you have to do it through the school\u2019s website \u00a0Thunderbird is just where all your accounts are stored\/accessed.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Add-Remove Email Accounts from Apple Mail<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\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=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/84cYMuVsLp0?feature=oembed\" title=\"How to Add-Remove Email Accounts from Apple Mail\" width=\"1200\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>I then <a href=\"how-do-i-permanently-delete-my-gmail-account-on-android\/\">deleted <span class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"bdc4d2cfd6c8d3d4cfd8d1fdc4d2cfd6c893dedc\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/span> from my \u2018Gmail\u2019 account:<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I went to Gmail\u2019s website and clicked on the little circled arrow at the top right corner.<\/p>\n<p>Clicked \u201cSign in\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the sidebar menu (upper left of page), chose the \u201c+Add another email address you own\u201d link, then followed their steps for creating a new <a href=\"how-do-i-change-email-account-on-mac\/\">account with your existing email<\/a> address (note: not <a class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"ec95839e879982859e8980ac95839e8799c28f8d\" href=\"\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>6) After I had successfully set up my Gmail account, I <a href=\"how-do-i-delete-my-gmail-account-from-vivo\/\">deleted <span class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"ceb7a1bca5bba0a7bcaba28eb7a1bca5bbe0adaf\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/span> from that new account<\/a> and it was gone!

Your steps above worked perfectly and now I can\u2019t wait for Mail 5 on Mavericks!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, this worked well for me too when upgrading from Snow Leopard to OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
