What if you want to change to a different email client, like Thunderbird. Should Mail then delete all your unread mail just because you’ve deleted the account in Mail? NO! That’s terrible, terrible design.

Apple does lots of this just for the sake of being different not with any real intention of helping the user. This is one such instance where they decide this is the best way for all of us mac users. I am finally done with apple and moving to windows Apple is good at making good products and selling them but has no respect for its existing user base it never has. Look how many times they dumped the old user-base to move to a new platform always a surprise and very little backward compatibility. windows 7 is as good if not better and as stable, there is nothing that a mac can do that one can't do on a windows today. Its not worth grief, to relearn every little simple stuff. It can't play Youtube, has problems with Adobe/Flash, they are nasty when it comes to 3 party vendors and worse there is not support its worse than open source !</p> I am with david on this one.

If you don't want to use it anymore, you can simply disable it. Nothing is deleted, but simply hidded from you're inbox. It's logic all the mails are deleted if you're account is deleted, there's no reason anymore to keep the mails.</p> You’re wrong, in first place, why would you delete you’re account?
