I am currently transitioning from one job to another. I am facing a problem with my outlook. Over the years I have accumulated a lot of mails and given that I am leaving the job, I want to remove the default account on the outlook program. I have read somewhere that it can only be done by adding another account. But I am leaving the job, what else can I do?

If you want to remove your email account in Microsoft Office Outlook, here’s how it is done. This instruction applies to Microsoft Office Outlook 2010, 2013, and 2016. When you delete an account in Microsoft Office Outlook, you will no longer be able to send and receive messages from that account. Start Microsoft Office Outlook then go to “File”, “Account Settings” then “Account Settings”.

Here, select an account you want to delete then click “Remove”. You will be prompted that all offline cached content for that account will be deleted. This only affects the contents downloaded and stored on your computer. Just click “Yes” to confirm the action.

Note: if you want to delete the last email account or the only email account left in Microsoft Office Outlook, you will be prompted with a warning that you must create a new location for your data before removing the account.
