Tips
- Before deleting an email address, make sure you've transferred any important emails or contacts to a different account.
- If you're deleting an email address that's associated with a specific domain (e.g., @example.com), you may need to contact the domain administrator to remove the email address.
- If you're using a third-party email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook), you may need to remove the email account from the client separately.
