Step 1: Open the Mail App

The first step is to open the Mail app on your Mac. You can do this by clicking on the Mail icon in your Dock or by searching for it in the Spotlight search bar.

Once the Mail app is open, you will see a list of all the email accounts you have set up on your Mac. Select the account you want to remove.

Step 3: Delete the Account

Once you have selected the account you want to delete, click on the "Accounts" tab at the top of the window. In the Accounts tab, you will see a list of all of your email accounts. Select the one you want to delete and click the "-" icon at the bottom of the window. This will delete the account from your Mac.

Step 4: Confirm the Deletion

When you click the "-" icon, a window will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Click "Delete" to confirm and the account will be removed from your Mac.

Step 5: Log Out of the Account

If you were logged into the account you just deleted, it is important to log out of it before you close the Mail app. To do this, click on the "Log Out" button at the bottom of the window. This will ensure that you are completely logged out of the account and won't be able to access it in the future.

Step 6: Close the Mail App

Once you have logged out of the account, it is time to close the Mail app. To do this, click the red "X" in the top left corner of the window. This will close the Mail app and your email account will be completely removed from your Mac.
