Delete your Heron account

Permanently delete your Heron account and everything it keeps on our servers. Your emails stay with your provider.

On this page

You can delete your Heron account at any time, from the app. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

On a computer

  1. Open Settings (⌘ , or Ctrl ,) → Heron account.
  2. At the bottom, under Danger zone, click Delete my account.
  3. Enter your Heron password, then click Delete permanently.

On mobile

  1. Open Settings → Heron Account → Delete my account.
  2. Review what will be deleted, enter your password and tap Delete my account.
  3. Confirm with Delete.

What gets deleted

  • Your Heron account (name, email, password).
  • The mailboxes you added and their credentials.
  • Our copy of your messages and folders (the index), and the derived address book.
  • Scheduled sends and snoozed messages.
  • Your settings and your devices’ notifications.
  • Connected AI agents and their access.

All your devices are signed out. Only technical security logs are kept, 3 months at most.

What isn’t touched

Your emails at your provider (Gmail, iCloud, Outlook…) stay in your mailboxes. You can keep reading them with any other app.

Important: a scheduled send that hasn’t gone out yet is deleted with your account: it won’t be sent. Check the Scheduled list first.

Just want to remove a mailbox?

If you only want a mailbox to disappear from Heron, no need to delete your account: see Manage your mailboxes.

Can’t open the app?

Write to us from your Heron account’s address at contact@heronmailapp.com and we’ll take care of it.
