Just remove the account from the Mac, and give them the credentials (email address and password) and they can set it up on their computer.


If using the default Mail App:

  1. In Mail, from the Mail menu, select Preferences....
  2. Click Accounts, and then highlight the account you want to delete.
  3. Click - (the minus sign).
  4. When prompted, click Remove or OK, and then close the Mail preferences window.

the unlikely prospect or necessity of handing off an existing account is about nil.
