Yes, I have opened both accounts. No option for delete found. I can't imagine that my setup screen would be any different than other ipads.
By the way, I am not Judyaf. I am her husband, who purchased this device for her, and set up her email account (and mine), plus found this forum and joined up for her.
I guess I will just have to give up on deleting the account. My next step probably should be to contact Apple.
Thank you very much for your help.

On the iPad, click on the settings icon on the home page.
Once in settings, scroll down to the mail, contacts, calendars section and press it, your screen should look like this:
Select the email account from the list and you should see the following screen appear:
Press the red Delete Account button.
This is what you should see if you set up a third party mail account such as yahoo or Gmail or an exchange account.
If you set up an iCloud mail account, you can't delete it like this. It is a system default and the iCloud Mail line will always be there. The only thing you can do in that event is go in to the iCloud mail and clear the settings. The iCloud Mail line will always remain however as it is part of the iOS.
