  <title>Remove an account</title>

  <p>
    Removing an account means to delete it from your computer with all
    the conversations you had with other people.
  </p>
  <p>
    After removing an account you will not be able to recover it or
    the conversations you had.
  </p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>
    From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, perform one of the following:
      </p>
      <list>
    <item>
      <p>
        Press <key>F4</key>
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        Choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>
      </p>
    </item>
      </list>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
    Select the account you wish to remove in the box on the
    left of the dialog.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
    Click on the <gui>Remove</gui> button.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>

    the <gui>Remove</gui> button to permanently remove the
    account.
