Other email providers

For other email providers, such as AOL, Hotmail, or ProtonMail, you can usually find the account closure option in the settings or account management section of your email account. You may need to search for "close account," "delete account," or "cancel account" to find the relevant option.

Important notes

• Before closing your email account, make sure to:
  • Export any important emails or contacts you want to keep.
  • Update any accounts or services that use your email address (e.g., social media, online banking, or subscription services).
  • Notify anyone who may need to contact you using your email address.
• Closing an email account may not immediately delete all associated data, such as emails, contacts, or calendar events. The email provider may retain this data for a certain period, usually for security or legal reasons.
• If you're having trouble closing your email account, you may want to contact the email provider's customer support for assistance.

Remember to carefully review the account closure process and any associated terms and conditions before proceeding.
