Bug Description

I could not find in Geary, a way to remove the account, the button is disabled and I think that's default, is that right?
I think it would be good the user have the option to remove the account.

Do you have more than one account? Geary currently doesn't allow you to remove the final account.

That's a current limitation of Geary. I've reported it upstream at http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6475

There is a workaround to remove undesired accounts from Geary.
After you did
sudo apt-get remove geary
do the following.
In your local directory, go to .local | geary | and manually delete any accounts you do not want to have.
When you reinstall Geary, it will only see the accounts you left in .local/geary.

I have not tested the solution just deleting the accounts without removing geary, and I will leave that as a homework assignment to the next person.

I didn't run into any problems by simply deleting the accounts without reinstall geary.

rm ~/.local/share/geary/*

Same here, I kill the geary process (kill -15 <process id> )to avoid any locked file and remove the account under .local/share/geary successsfully
