Re: log out from email account

Welcome to Android Central! Email accounts don't really work that way on Android devices. If you log out, then you're essentially removing the email account from the Email app. You'd have to add the account back and have it sync with the phone again if you wanted to "log in" again.

Some email apps might allow you to log out--I think Yahoo Mail does this. But most don't. If you're concerned about security, it's much more important to have a good screenlock for your phone, so that no one can access anything on the phone if they found it or stole it.
