I somehow managed to set up my Gmail account in Messaging, but I don't want to use it anymore. Now I can't figure out how to delete it. When I open Messaging, I see the "Select an Account" screen with three choices: Messages, Gmail, and New E-mail Account. If I select Gmail and tap Menu, I see Options and Delete. Delete does nothing, and Options takes me to a screen where I'm asked to "Tap an account to change settings." But Gmail isn't one of the choices. Back on the "Select an Account" screen, I tried tapping and holding on the Gmail account to bring up a menu that might have Delete in it, but nothing happens. I'd just like to read my Gmail through a browser and don't need it in Messaging, but I can't figure out how to delete it. Step-by-step answers, please, and don't assume I know anything. Thanks.

Ok, I've set up an e-mail account on the phone that is working fine. If I need to, how do I delete this account? I can no way to do this and there's a distinct lack of info in the manual on how to delete this sort of thing - plenty on how to set it up!
Regards and thanks

While in TouchFLO 3D move across to the EMAIL icon. Push the MENU option in the bottom right of the screen. Select ACCOUNTS and then ACCOUNTS. This will bring you to the MESSAGING screen which shows you SMS / MMS at the top, then any email accounts you have then SETUP EMAIL.
Move down using the dpad (hardware buttons) and when you have highlighted the account you wish to delete press the MENU option in the bottom right of the screen and choose DELETE.
Remember use the Dpad to highlight the email account you wish to delete. If you use your finger you will more than likely open the email account instead of just highlighting it.
Many thanks tomchap. The collective knowledge and experience on the www is amazing.

What if the account does not exist?
Ok, but what happens if the account is not listed there? I used Sprite Backup to backup the data on my old TyTN then tried to restore it on the Raphael. On the Mail tab of the TouchFlow the email account is listed (it appears as "PDA - Email" - just as it was named on the TyTN) - but I can not open any message and I can not delete the account either - because it is not listed.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot, had this problem as well!
I might becoming dumb but with Topaz I can not find a way to delete an email account.
I was used to tap and hold the account in the Messaging / Options dialog and a small single option Delete menu appeared but with Topaz that is no more.
just choose delete from the messaging menu rather than options. I'm not sure if that just clears the inbox outbox etc (don't wanna risk trying it in case it deletes my account!) but I'd have thought that'll be what you're looking for.
EDIT: that might not have been very clear, from the Home screen go to mail then menu>accounts>accounts... to get to messaging screen, then menu>delete to delete an account
If it's the outlook account you're trying to get rid of read this:

I was trying to do the same.

You still haven't made it very clear , open programs then all programs and select messaging. Then its menu>delete to get rid of an account or menu options to change an account.
EDIT: Ah! you were being clear after all, I had thought you meant to open the mail app, not just select menu on the mail tab of the homescreen. Nevermind, always nice to find out there's an easier way of doing something.

I am trying to delete the Hotmail account on my Pure. I followed the steps above but the "Delete" option is grayed out. Is there any other to delete the Hotmail account?

Thanks for the link! Great tool. Took care of my Hotmail account.
This might be a dumbb question but I just can't figure it out. I want to delete an email account for an online provider so I go to menu and then accounts and then options. When I press and hold on the account I want to delete nothing pops up that lets me delete it and I can't figure out how to delete it.
Solution:
Use the up/down arrows of the software keyboard to select the account and then you can use tap&hold to delete it.
When i go to write a new message and click contacts I have multiple duplicate entries. When i go to contacts I only have phone selected/not gmail, facebook etc... and that works fine its just when i go to write a new text message and click contacts
You could deselect every display option in the contacts app, but all of your contacts will still appear in the messaging app. You should try to fix the duplicates by linking them together. Like this:
1. Open the contacts app and select someone who appears twice. (You may have to change display options since you only have phone selected)
2. Under "Linked Contacts" in their profile it should say "1 linked contact"-touch that.
3. Choose "Add link Contact" and find their duplicate entry.
4. That should work. You'll just have to clean things up a little bit.
That doesn't work fyi. You can link til you're blue, but integrated fb, sim, fb app, and google contacts show separately in the messaging app. I've never gotten around this.

I have BN software 1.1 with autonooter. It has been great so far. I have four email accounts set up with in my gmail app. I would like to delete one of those accounts. When I am at the accounts page I open the menu and then tap the "settings" button. When I do this though, the whole unit restarts. I know that I have gone into the settings before, but now it restarts. I just need to delete one of the accounts in there.
