How do you delete an obsolete email account?

Tue May 31, 2016 7:49 am

One of my email accounts is no longer valid, but I can't find any way to delete it. Using version 6.5.3.

Thanks.

Moved into the MW 6 forum.

Echo, go into Settings >> on the left, select the Account you no longer wish to use >> then near the bottom left of that screen there will be a Remove Account button >> remove then click OK.

That's what I thought should be there - but on my screen, that button is invisible. I can tell stuff is missing, but I am unable to resize the settings window.

This is what I see:

Now on my laptop, this window is MUCH larger, extending from top to bottom of the screen, and I was able to delete the account. The laptop's resolution is 1366x768, and the PC's resolution is 1400x900 - larger vertically - so that can't be the problem. :help

Large Fonts and old MailWasher don't play very nice unfortunately.

In Control Panel >> Display >> you should see an option to alter the font size >> I assume it's around 150% >> reduce it back to 125 or 100 >> restart MailWasher >> remove account >> set the font back to your preference.

Thanks! That was indeed the problem. My fonts are at 125% (and boy, changing to 100% sure reminded me WHY I have them set at 125%!).
