Delete unused email accounts

How do I delete email accounts from my HTC Tilt? I have changed jobs and need to get rid of their emails (server - Outlook) and other email addies.

To delete an excahnge account, this is done via your desktop (delete the partnership). For ISP accounts, those you just tap and hold on the Mailbox and choose Delete from the pop up Menu.

Sorry I don't understand that. If you mean I need to connect the phone to my laptop, that's not possible as I no longer have that laptop. It belongs to my former place of work. If I set it up on my home laptop and sync won't I lose everything on my phone (contacts, calendar, files)?

Yes, you would need to connect to the PC to delete the partnership (you will see that there are no options to remove the Excahnge account on the device).
Your other option is the Hard Reset but you will need to back up all of the data on your device first so that you dont lose it.
You can set up a sync partnership with your PC to do this but be VERY careful not to run the sync until after you have changed your conflict resolution to handheld wins otherwise, you will lose all of you PIM info.
