  details again.</p>

    <item>
      <p>From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
      <gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>, or press <key>F4</key>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the account you wish to remove from the accounts list on the
      left side of the window.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui style="button">Remove</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>

      button to permanently remove the account.</p>
