It can be difficult to delete a mailbox that you no longer need. It is not profitable for free postal services to lose a user. In addition, user identification and a relatively low level of security cannot protect against unauthorized deletion of someone else's mailbox by intruders.
Necessary
- - login and password (sometimes: domain) from the mailbox
- - the answer to the security question specified during registration
- - customer service address
Instructions
Step 1
Activate your account in the mail service using your username and password. If the mail resource supports a special interface for deleting an account, then press the corresponding menu key. None of the popular free email services can tolerate this key in the user's line of sight, so get ready to look for it. Most often, this function is hidden behind the "Settings" or "Service" key.
Step 2
Re-enter the registration data and the answer to the code question in the event that the service provides for double user identification when deleting. Although most often, entering the deletion interface does not require authorization. At this stage, postal services, depending on corporate policy, may offer different options. Most often, at the same time as deleting the mailbox, all applications and accounts on the resource's social networks that were used with the login and password from the mail are eliminated. Other mail resources are more loyal, and allow you to delete only the mailbox, leaving the user the opportunity to use other services. In all cases, the postal service will familiarize the user with the consequences of account liquidation. After reviewing the information, it is enough to press the "Delete" button for this account to cease to exist.
Step 3
Contact customer service if your mail server does not provide self-service account deletion. The service address is usually listed in the Help field or at the bottom of the mailbox screen. In the letter, state the request, indicating the registration data: email address and password.
Step 4
Remove all mailbox bundles for mail assembly if the previous steps did not bring the desired results. It is also worth deleting the account of this mailbox from the mail program. Do not use E-mail for 3 months, after which the mailbox will be automatically liquidated.
