How to cancel email account setup without accepting server specified security policies? This is a similar question to How do I avoid the server-specified security policies for my work e-mail? but whereas they are trying to use an Exchange email account without accepting the server's stringent security policies, I'm trying to cancel setup of the account.

The problem is, I can't open my Mail app without accepting these security policies. I get a dialog:


  [Server] requires that you update your security settings


...with two options - accept the security policies, or cancel, which simply closes the app.

How can I remove this half-complete Exchange account from my Mail app, when the Mail app won't open without accepting the policies and completing the setup of the account I no longer want to set up?

I'm on Android 5.0.2, non-root.
Found it - you have to go through the phone's general settings, not the Email app.

Settings > Personal > Accounts > Exchange ActiveSync, then select your account, then there's a option "Remove" in the menu from the ... dots menu icon at the top right of the screen.
