If you are a primary account holder for an Outlook account, you can delete your account by going to the Accounts tab and clicking on theDelete button. Deleting your account will remove all of your data from the Outlook system. If you are a secondary or tertiary account holder for an Outlook account, you will need to contact your primary or secondary account holder to delete their account.
You can delete e-mail accounts in any of these situations:
To temporarily disconnect an e-mail account from Windows Live Mail, such as when you want to log into another mail service (like Hotmail or Gmail). To permanently remove an existing e-mail account. If you do this, the mailbox is deleted from the server used by Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and deleted permanently from that server. This creates a new “deleted” or “disconnected” folder on the server where you will be able to recover deleted items for 30 days after deletion (server time), but still reduce storage space on your local
account. To permanently remove your Exchange account from the profile while keeping all of your messages and folders.
To delete an e-mail account:
On the File menu, click Account Settings .
Click E-mail in the left pane, then click More Settings . 3. Choose the account you want to delete, then click Delete .
3a. You will not be able to delete an active account while Outlook is running or if a copy of that mailbox is open (for example, a draft message). Make sure no Outlook windows are using this box before attempting to delete it.
3b. If you don’t want to use Microsoft’s servers anymore, choose This server will always use POP3 and SMTP instead of IMAP. This will still enable you to use a POP3 client, such as Windows Live Mail or another e-mail client on your computer to get your messages, but it will disable access to the Microsoft Exchange server via IMAP and SMTP.
Click OK .

This option is only available if there are no subfolders under Inbox
