[Lyndsay]

Okay so i removed my gmail account from my windows mail that i use for my
Yahoo email account but for some reason I don't know why my gmail mail like
facebook emails and such is STILL going into my windows mail under.
Which i cant access when I don't have my laptop on me.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks, Lyndsay

In Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, and make sure there is no
Gmail account. Sometimes there are duplicate accounts.

If the account is still set up in Windows mail, you could ensure the option
to "Leave a copy of messages on the server" is enabled on the account's
Properties - Advanced tab. Then, you can still get them when you are
without your laptop.

I deleted the gmail account from windows mail. but its still coming thru. i
duno what the deal is with it and they come thru on my yahoo email account
when it isnt even a registered email for facebook. i prefer to use gmail
thats why im trying to get rid of it off windows mail but having all this
trouble from my 'phantom gmail account' lol.

Look through your WM accounts again - each one individually. Look at their
Properties and look at the mail servers (Servers tab) to see if you have
inadvertently used the gmail servers on the yahoo account or visa-versa.
That is the only other thing I can think of that would be bringing in the
messages under the "wrong" account. As far as what you have setup on FB we
obviously can't help you with that here. Look through your FB profile to
ensure that email address is not in there anywhere, contact FB "Help" for
further issues with that.
