An e-mail profile is made up of e-mail accounts, data files, and information about where your e-mail is stored. If you are unfamiliar with e-mail profiles, see overview of Outlook e-mail profiles.

1. In Microsoft Windows, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Windows Vista  Click User Accounts, and then click Mail.

      Note   In Classic view, double-click Mail.

   • Microsoft Windows XP  Click User Accounts, and then click Mail.

      Note   In Classic view, double-click Mail.

   The Mail icon won't appear unless you have Outlook installed and have run the program at least once.

The Mail Setup dialog box opens.



3. Click Show Profiles.
4. Click the e-mail profile that you want to remove, and then click Remove.

 Note   Removing an e-mail profile does not remove your Outlook data files, so no data is lost.
