Default Can't remove email accounts from OE

Disabling (or even uninstalling) SpySweeper and/or NIS does NOT help. You
have to determine the "protections" in each application that may be
disallowing the changes from "sticking". (In Spysweeper, these
"protections" are called Shields.)

I disabled both Spysweeper and NIS2005 firewall and antivirus but this
problem persists. Any other clue? Thanks.

The reply to this post stated that McAfee caused the problem.
Here is the post:
Options/settings in several third-party applications may be disallowing
the
deletion of the account. These include Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea
Timer, SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan
and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

I want to remove 3 email accounts from OE, so I go to Tools/Account and
in
the Mail tab I click on the Remove button after highlighting the
respective accounts. So they are removed from the account list. Problem
is that when I close OE and reopen it, they reappear in the list. How
can
I fix this? Thanks.
