Removing an email account

[angelav]

I added an email account that I no longer want on my phone. It's in the "email" app, not the "gmail" app. I have looked everywhere and cannot figure out a way to delete the account.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I have tried this.
However, when I go back to my menu and tap on "email", the unwanted account is still listed there. Is there any way to remove it from there?

I figured this out, but thank you anyway.

I'm glad you found a solution! I didn't know you could remove an account that way. ....and you had me stumped as to why the other way didn't work!?

I'm not always the best at wording my questions. I finally just sat down and kept searching through google. Maybe this will help someone else sometime.
