Hi Adrian, Yes I agree with Tim. On occasions an email server for one reason or another will become unavailable. The problem could be local, with your router, slightly further away with your ISP, or all the way to the server. Often just taking the account online later will fix the problem.
As for the spinning wheel, this is because you deleted the account and IMAP is re-syncing with the server. This process can take many hours depending on how many emails you have stored on the server.
