Removing Gmail account from eM Client
To remove the account and its data stored in eM Client you need to make sure it is IMAP account.
You can find out what account type it is in Menu>Accounts, just click on the account and
check
the tabs on the right side of “Accounts” window.
If one of the tabs says POP, it means your account data are stored locally and you will need to
use export to preserve the data before account deletion. Email export options can be found under
Menu>File>Export, and once you are done with the export you can return to “Accounts”
window,
click on the bin icon next to the account and it will be removed.
However, if you are using IMAP account you can delete it straight away via “Accounts” and all of
your emails will remain on the server. After re-adding the account again you all of its data
will be downloaded right away.
