Can't Delete A Mail Account

Mail Help says to highlight the Account in Preferences/Accounts and just press the Delete button. Well, that doesn't work. Anyone know of a method for deleting an existing mail account that does work?

MDD G4 (dual processors), Mac OS X (10.4.11), Mail version 2.1.3

After highlighting did you try clicking on the little minus icon below?

PS. Any emails there will be lost of course.

I've clicked on every Delete and ➖ sign on the keyboard, each individually, in rapid succession, and simultaneously. The only thing that happens is I hear ding-ding sound each time I press any one of them or more of those keys. I admit that the ➖ sign threw me when I first saw it, but I think I've tried every possible key and key combination. Any other ideas for how to delete an Email account?
