To remove email accounts from Mailspring, visit the app’s preferences from the main menu and go to the Accounts tab. Beneath the list of accounts there’s a small set of “+ / -” buttons. Select the account you’d like to remove and click “-” to remove it from Mailspring.

If account is not working like hotmail account the -/+ are not showing.

This really needs to be fixed by the developers, it’s a bug. If anyone is still having this problem, as I just did, you can fix it by editing the config file directly.

  1. Close Mailspring.
  2. Open the config file stored at ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Mailspring/config.json in a text editor.
  3. Search for the email address in the accounts section and remove the block which contains the relevant email address, then save.
  4. Restart Mailspring
