This is the 2nd time I post the same problem here. Is the problem really difficult to solve?

Not sure on the first one, are you signed into windows with a local account or using this Hotmail one

For the Yahoo question, you can't just sign out from the mail app, but if you open up the charms bar while in mail and then go to settings, select the option for accounts and click on yahoo, bottom of this is the option to remove it from mail

Not sure on using different accounts to log in with, hopefully someone else can answer that for you

If the email account is tied to your login account though, it will not let you delete it from mail

For gmail it needs to be IMAP, google stopped using Exchange ActiveSync a while back

servers for mine are
imap.gmail.com port 993
smtp.gmail.com port 465
all boxes under these settings are ticked

the only downside of gmail, unless things have changed in last few months, calendar and contacts don't sync
