I have tried deleting it from the accounts list, but it doesn't go anywhere. I also cannot access its "settings" (the words are in the menu but I can't click on it). And, lately I have been getting 8 spam emails/day on the Yahoo account when I used to get 4/month. These things seem really weird and I'm wondering if mailwatcher is a virus or something. I'd read bad things here about the McAfee Virus Scan so I'm not sure if I should run it.

I was able to set up a second account for the same Yahoo account using the instructions under the "Help & Quickstart". This one works well and I can access the settings.

How can I delete the original one? Every time I click delete it just sits there smiling at me ;)

Thank you,
dan
mailwatcher is definitely not a virus.

To delete the first yahoo account, go to Start Menu --> XM Settings, then hit Menu, Re-register. The very first e-mail account you set up on the phone can only be accessed through the XM Settings program.
