How do I delete my account from Outlook 2007?

Question

I was trying out Outlook 2007 and didn't seem interested in continuing to use it. How do I remove my account and go back to logging in through Webmail instead? Because I know the program grabs the mail from the server and onto my computer.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Open Outlook.  From the tool bar at top, click on Tools.  Then, from the drop down menu that appears, select Account Settings.  The following screen will show your account(s).  Select the account(s) you wish to remove (i.e. delete) and select remove from the list of options above.  Your account will be removed.  If for some reason this does not work, then we can safely assume something is wrong with your Outlook.  Go to the Control panel and double click on Mail Setup.  In here you may select Account Settings and remove your account without having to start Outlook.

If what you mean by "I know the program grabs the mail from the server" is that you want to return your mail to the server so that you may then "return" to using the web interface, you will may forward the downloaded mail back to the web first before you delete the account.  Before you do this, turn off the account from downloading mail.  Just forward the mail to yourself.  Then go to Tools, Account Settings, double click your account, go to advanced settings and check, leave copy on server. You'll want to do this so that mail stays on the server while you upload your mail from Outlook.

Hope this helps.
