How to delete an Email account with Invalid Credentials

[bleem85]

Found the answer on how to delete AOL or other email accounts with the dreaded invalid credentials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Based on another post add AOL accounts back as other emails and not AOL and it should work. I haven't tested that long term but hopefully that works long term.

Hope this helps somebody out. Make sure to do the last part, not the one at a time one.

To delete either your Personal or Exchange email account, follow these steps:

You can clear out all the email accounts you have set-up on your i1 using the Manage Applications menu. The process below describes how to delete all email accounts set-up under your Email application; not your Gmail application. You can only remove the Gmail account set-up under your Gmail application by completing a Factory Data Reset or going through your settings menu. Click here for help removing / replacing your main Gmail account accessed by your Gmail application .

To delete email accounts one at a time, open the email application.

Make sure you are at the "Accounts" screen that lists your multiple email accounts.
To get to Accounts screen from inbox, press the Menu button, select More, select Accounts
Your established email accounts that are under the Email application will be listed.
Tap and hold onto the account you wish to delete.
Select Delete to delete the email account.


From Home screen, press the menu key.

Tap on Settings
Tap on Applications
Tap on Manage Applications
Scroll down to icon where it says Email
Select Clear Data. You will be prompted with warning message. Your email on the original server is not affected by this operation.
Tap on OK to complete process and clear out your Email widget's email accounts.

This was very helpful but... I successfully deleted my Outlook.com account using your method. However, when I go back in to try to recreate the account, I get friggin "Invalid Credentials" again. I've cleared all of the data, and cleared the cache, rebooted the phone but still can't recreate the account. BTW: I have a Moto Razr Maxx running ICS. HELP!
