Delete imported account
I just imported my Office365 mail account into FM, and I wanted to change my initial settings (using already existing folders rather than creating a new tree), but I apparently cannot, so I simply want to delete the imported account and re-import, but I cannot see a way to do it. Assistance appreciated.

Yeah, I see that, but it still leaves me with a folder tree. I’m wondering if there is anyway to entirely delete the account that I added.

Folder deletion needs to be handled separately. You can delete either from the folders settings or the drop down menu (clicking the 3 dots) when hovering over the folder in the main mail folder list.
I just did a couple of experiments with this. I was able to delete an outer folder containing an inner folder even when each folder was not empty. So if you have a folder tree of nested folders simply deleting the top most folder wipes out everything nested under it even if not empty. |

How about if mails/subfolders will be affected? I HOPE there's a confirm. |

Note, it's simple enough to test this out yourself like I did. Simply create two folders, "outer" with no parent and "inner" with "outer" being "inner"s parent. Toss a unneeded message in each (say from the trash or whatever) and play around. |
