Apple Mail continues to try to connect to a deleted account - repeatedly.

I removed an old unwanted Email Account from Internet Accounts in system preferences. Apple Mail continues to try to connect to it - repeatedly, even though the account is now removed. What can I do to get Apple Mail to forget this old account?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.3

Thank you, I’ve followed those steps and then realized that I had to remove old SMTP outgoing server information as well. Thank you.
