Q: How to clear all E-mail accounts from Maverick iCloud Sync
My problem is the following: I have quite a lot of e-mail accounts that I do not use anymore, these email accounts do not show up in the system preferences "internet Accounts" in Maverick. Maverick simply forget numerous "other email accounts" while mail accounts like AOL and Gmail are all visible.
It is very annoying to see all those old email accounts popping up at the most unexpected moments or simply replacing my existing email accounts.
Now I work around the problem by disabling them in my Apple mail settings, but that does not always work out either. The disabled accounts do not show up in the email accounts in system preferences either and when I change certain details in existing accounts they will be changed back by iCloud.
So what I want to do is to clear all my email accounts that are synchronised through iCloud at once. Maybe there is a terminal command or another way to reset iCloud. The aim is to make a fresh start, so to replace all existing accounts with those on my production machine.
Mac OS X (10.7.5)
