Hi @Timothy Taylor,  

Good day! Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing your experience.   

I’m glad to assist you with removing email addresses and want to make the process as smooth as possible. Below, I’ve outlined clear and detailed steps for both your Microsoft account aliases and removing email accounts from your Mac. I hope this will make things easy to follow. 

1. If you would like to remove old email addresses from your Microsoft account:  

• Sign in to your Microsoft account at Microsoft account | Sign In or Create Your Account Today – Microsoft using your web browser. 
• Choose "Your info" at the top, then select "Manage how you sign in to Microsoft." 
• You will see a list of emails and phone numbers linked to your account. Please make sure there is at least one verified contact you want to keep before removing any. 
• If needed, you can add a new email or phone number by selecting "Add email" or "Add phone number." 
• Once you are ready, click "Remove" next to the email address you no longer wish to have associated with your account. 
• Confirm the removal when prompted.   

2. You can try this o remove an email account from the Mail application on your Mac: 

• Open the Mail app. 
• Click on "Mail" in the menu at the top, then select "Preferences." 
• Go to the "Accounts" tab. 
• Click on the email account you want to remove to highlight it. 
• At the bottom of the list, click the minus (–) button to delete the account. Confirm when asked.

4. For work or school accounts that are managed through your Mac’s System Settings: 

• Open your System Settings. 
• Select "Profiles" if it appears in the sidebar (this only shows if a profile is installed). 
• Find the profile related to your work or school email and remove it by selecting and deleting it.
