I want to remove my account in Outlook Express.

Learn how to remove the Outlook Express email account you are no longer using by reading this article.


Sometimes you receive an error message which says that a host could not be found. It says your user name and password are incorrect and you may need to remove an account from Outlook Express. When you add a new mail account while the older one still exists, every time you check your mail, Outlook Express attempts to check both the mail accounts. If you no longer use this older account you should remove it from Outlook Express to avoid getting an error message.

The following steps will describe how to remove an email account from Outlook Express.

  • Open Outlook Express.

  • Click on Tools > Accounts.



  • The Internet Accounts window opens up. In the Mail tab, highlight the unused account.

  • Click Remove button.



  • Select Yes when prompted for confirmation.



  • Now you will only be checking only one account and will no longer receive an error message.
    Click Close to return to Outlook Express.
