Deleting an email account from ios13 I am unable to delete an email account from my new iphone which has the ios13 software, i checked for answers on apple and the instruction i got was “go to settings and click on password & account” but i don’t even have that option on my settings. The closest to it is “password & security “ and when i clicked on that there was no delete email option, infact i could not even find the email account i wanted to delete on settings.

How can I delete my work email from my iPhone? I recently retired and need to delete my work email. My employer apparently has deleted me, for I keep getting annoying pop ups saying my password is incorrect. I can hardly use my phone because the pop ups happen every 10 seconds or so, no matter what I’m doing. The usual instructions to go to mailbox, choose the mailbox, hit delete, do not work . There is no DELETE MAILBOX choice.

Can't delete an email account on iPhone. I am searching and searching, but can't find a way to delete an email account (my provider now has new log-in requirements, so I have to delete and set-up anew. When I go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > EMAIL > ACCOUNTS and then click on the account (as you USUALLY do), there is NO delete button, only text that says, "These settings are installed by the profile 'Profile for (email address)'" So I searched how to delete a profile, and found "Go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > PROFILES" and if you don't see a profile tab, you have no profiles. Sure enough, there is no PROFILES tab. WTF??!! Please help. Thanks

So you need to remove the profile, or contact their IT department for help.
