Hello Bvwilliams,


To delete the old Yahoo account from the Mail application, use these steps:


1. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts.
2. Tap the email account you want to remove, then select Delete Account.


To add the new Gmail account to the Mail application, use these steps:


1. Go to Settings  > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
2. Select Google from the account option list.
