UTmail+: Delete an existing email account from Apple Mail on iOS

When you have an existing UTmail+ account set up and are encountering issues, you can delete the existing account before adding it back to troubleshoot. The error may have arisen because the original account used legacy authentication, which requires you to delete the account and re-add the account while utilizing modern authentication. 

Instructions

  1. From the Home screen, choose Settings.
