  I wish i would have read the comments below! I deleted my email but then there were no files saved in the Outlook folder when I went to step 4 and looks like I lost everything with no solution for recovery. ugh.. don't follow these instructions, at least for the first option. especially disappointing (and a warning sign) that there are no replies/solutions for when people listed issues.

  An outlook account can be regarded as a Microsoft account and it gives you access to so many things. Apart from the email service provider, there are also several other things you stand to gain from a Microsoft account. For instance, you can use only one Microsoft account for everything Microsoft. What do I mean by this? What I mean is that with just signing u for a Microsoft account once, you can do everything Microsoft that is free all the way from your mail inbox to Microsoft apps...................................................................................................................Read More Here < a href='https://www.techshure.com/outlook-account/'>Outlook Account

  I followed your steps to 'Remove an account but keep its email with exporting as .pst data file' and completed the process without a password. When I go to my OUTLOOK folder within the computer, I do not see any backup.pst files, and the files 'must be opened within OUTLOOK.' When I open OUTLOOK 2010 and go to the OUTLOOK data files, each one is empty.
  Can you explain this, or help in some way. The only possibly unclear step was #4 'click to highlight the email account that you will remove later' There I highlighted by clicking the email account address rather than any subfolder like 'Inbox' but I did check 'included subfolders.'

    Don't click 'cancel' to opt out of a password, you must click 'Ok' for it to actually create a backup. Your cursor will spin, and the file will show up in the specified location. I'm also glad I double-checked first, this article is SKETCHY! I could see how someone would follow the first step and accidentally remove their account without backing it up first!

    I'm having the same problem. Did you get this resolved?

  Thank you for advising the manual copy&paste to another Email account in Outlook. I did that for 2 giga of old emails from a blocked account and then deleted it. Took less time than I thought.
• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  you should put step 3 ahead of step 1 in this list.
• To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.
  I followed step 1 removing the account but did not get to the Open Outlook Data File as Outlook stopped responding. Now when I try to open Outlook it will not open as it cannot open the data files.
  Can I overcome this?

  I would like to remove an Outlook account from sending or receiving email, but keep its previously sent and received email with saving original data file. When I follow the instructions in Outlook Account Settings, highlight the account and click 'Remove', I receive an error message that says: 'The primary account cannot be removed unless it is the only account in the profile. You must remove all other accounts before removing the primary account.' I can't remove my other two Outlook accounts because they are all currently active. I just want to stop the message asking for my password to keep popping up. I am not using that account any longer, but I have some saved emails in that account that I want to continue to access via my Outlook main screen.

  Hi, I no longer have access to my outlook account, but my apple mini still has the email account on it, and I can look up old emails and attachments still. It is a great resource that I don't want to lose. Is there any way to put these emails into another email account? There are a whole year's worth of emails with little details that I don't necessarily know I will need until I need them so I can't really search and sift through for the 'important' ones. This email account is no longer active on any server and so no password will actually work as far as I know.
  Thank You for your help, Bill
