How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?
How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.
Then that is all you can do.
You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?
How do I delete my iCloud email account? I do not want it. Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail. for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC. I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones. I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address. Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens. So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.
Finally, you have answered my question!
I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

How do I delete the Icloud email account
Hello, I am looking to delete my Icloud email account, Please advise
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan. -
Can I delete an iCloud email account?
I like iCloud but it confuses the **** out of me. I want to just get rid of it and maybe start fresh later on. I switched mobile me over to iCloud (more than one email) and iCloud list the wrong one as primary. mobile me was aliases emails iCloud isn't the same .......Confused!
Another problem:
I have been told I am online using Aim or iChat, using a mobile me login. but I am not Something funky going on and for the life of me I can not square things away. I think just deleting and starting fresh would uncomplicate things on this end. Can anyone here understand what I'm trying to fix?Hi Rebecca, yes you can, can you afford to lose al eMails in it?
Would you like to know how to setup an iCloud eMail account that works? -
How do I delete a icloud email account?
I just set up an icloud email account and realised I misspelt my name in the address..my original primary address is a non apple email account..can I delete the icloud mail address or is it linked forever to my primary address? How do I do it if possible. I'm using an ipad and iPhone linked on icloud..
You can't change the icloud email address without creating a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an alias address with the correct spelling. It will operate just as your current address does, receiving email in your curren iCloud inbox. Just don't ever delete the alias or you won't be able to reactivate it. This explains how to add an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.
I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

How can I Delete a MobileMe Email Account and Kill Duplicate Messages?
When I select "All Inboxes" on my iPhone 4s, I see duplicates of each and every message I receive. Furthermore, the duplicate can't be deleted and I get an error message informing so! I suspect this phenomenon is occurring because I have both an iCloud and a MobileMe account. I want to cancel the MobileMe one.
Here's the deal:
My iPhone 4s lists three email accounts, including a "MobileMe" one that I want to delete because I believe it is delivering duplicate messages. However, I can't seem to figure out how to delete the MobileMe's email account or, for that matter, MobileMe itself. Apple support screens refer to cancelling a MobileMe account but are not clear on how to actually do it.
1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
4. I want to keep the iCloud and Bellsouth/Yahoo accounts but delete the MobileMe one but I can find no way on this screen or any other iPhone 4s screen to do so. Nor do I see any path to do so in iTunes. And the MobileMe account doesn't even show up in the Apple email app on the laptop to which I sync my iPhone.
If I go to www.me.com and log into my MobileMe account, there is no apparent way to disable, delete or otherwise cancel it. Why?
I am convinced that the simultaneous presence of both iCloud and MobileMe accounts is responsible for the double email messages when I select to view "All inboxes" on my iPhone. (A workaround is to simply select just one of the accounts, say, the iCloud one. Then I see only one copy of each message. That's OK but surely there is some way to kill off this redundant MobileMe account AND the duplicate messages, yes???First, thanks for the reply. And, I believe you are exactly right that the names are the same. However, when I go (on my iPhone) as you suggest to "Settings," "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," only two accounts are showing; my Mac account and my Bellsouth one. If I select either, I get an option to delete but the duplicate "MobileMe" account does not appear. It only shows up, as described above, if I:
1. On the iPhone 4s, I click on the "Mail" icon at the bottom of the screen
2. On a screen under the heading "Mailboxes," under "Inboxes," there are two that read exactly the same (I think one is iCloud and the other MobileMe).
3. On the same screen, under "Accounts," I see an iCloud account logo, a Bellsouth/Yahoo account logo and a MobileMe account logo.
It's nutso, I admit, but true. Any other suggestions would be most welcome. -

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How can I delete my Apple email account
Hello -
when Apple made the move from MobileMe to iCloud (and stopped offering web hosting) a couple of years ago I decided that wasn't for me and switched back to a PC. Never looked back. However, it seems my old .Mac email account is still active and people keep sending emails to it which I can't access. How can I deactivate this account?
thanks
RobertThanks randers4, for your swift reply. It helps me in the sense that I will not spend much more time trying to deactivate the account. Forwarding from iCloud is not an option as I didn't sign up to iCloud. Well, I couldn't at the time without having to buy a newer machine with stronger processor and newer OS, so I decided to phase out Apple. I still have the old MacBook from 2007 and use it for music and photos. All my professional use however happens on a brand new and powerful HP. But it nags me that I can't get rid of the old account ...
cheers, Robert -

I change my email address from yahoo to gmail but it's still showing on my iCloud the old yahoo email address. How do I change my icloud account email on my iphone 4S?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't. -
How can I delete my old email accounts on my phone...
i have several email account that i cant seem to be able to delete on my nokia n97 mini series.
Moderator's note: We amended the title of this post as we moved it to the most appropriate board.Hi, mpeza. @Srikanthsd's suggestion should enable you to delete your email accounts on your phone. If this doesn't work, you can share with us the error message that you are getting, if there's any. Also, rebooting the phone would be a great idea to refresh the phone's software. To do this, kindly turn off the phone, remove the battery and wait for a few seconds. After that, return them back to their proper place and switch it on. Keep us posted.

How can I delete my icloud-email???
I have made a wrong iCloud emailadress and want to delete this, but this is not possible!!!
who can and will me help me with this problem???Well you can change the email ... you can also delete your apple id. If they said you can't you should ask for a senior advisor because I know you can change your email as long as it's not a mac.com, iCloud.com, me.com or any apple email.
So are you wanting to just change your email that you use as your apple id? If so just go to applied.apple.com click manage your apple id and then sign in. you should have the option to change your apple id by clicking edit. -
I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.
I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.
