Email using old deleted account

I have a problem that I went to another ISP provider so deleted the old email
account and now have a new on.

When I check emails for some reason it is using the old account and I don't
know where it would have stored that as I have deleted the old account and it
is no longer showing in email accounts.

I keep getting a message asking me to put in my account user name and
password when I have already put it in and clicked remember password.

Has anyone else had this problem.

Re: Email using old deleted account

You probably deleted it from the computers email program, but not from ISPs
database meanining, the ISP provide was not informed that you want to
disable or destroy that account.

Re: Email using old deleted account

Thankyou but my ex has decided to keep that email account open so he is using
on his computer.

Isn't there some way I can remove it from my laptop so my email doesn't
check that account as it is having major problems with my new account and
email.

Re: Email using old deleted account

Which email program are you using? If its Windows Mail, click Tools >
Accounts > select the account and click the Remove button.

to check for email, your email software needs at a minimum:

the name of the server
the name of the account
the password of the account

change those in your email program, or delete that account. How to do
that depends on your email software, not on the operating system.

Re: Email using old deleted account

Yes I have done all of that before and still it finds the old account.

I have looked in the registry and still cannot find where it is pulling this
information from.
