Removing mail account

Hi everyone, I recently gave my old macbook to my girlfriend and purchased a new macbook pro. The old macbook has my gmail account linked to it and I want to remove it from her computer so she can't read my emails. Can someone please help? Thank you!

Macbook 2.4GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

you can just delete the account from mail preferences->accounts. however, I strongly suggest you do a lot more than that. boot from the leopard install DVd and do an erase and install of leopard. this will give your girlfriend a clean system and wipe all your private data too.

Thank you!
