Original description:

Geary currently doesn't allow removing an account if it's the only one. Geary
should allow this, since a user might not want any email and account details
on the machine.

Moving this back to 0.4.0. I realized there's another situation this would be
useful, if not vital. Since we don't allow editing IMAP or SMTP details
(currently), if the user mis-entered something or needs to change it, their
only recourse is to delete the account and start over. But, if it's their only
account, then they have to manually delete the Geary data directory, which is
ugly.

This is still valid in current geary: I cannot delete an account if it's the only one.
Comment 2 John Pye 2018-05-28 10:56:18 UTC
Me too. And furthermore, the manual deletion workaround seems to be broken for me, too. https://askubuntu.com/questions/998821/
